Of my receipts have begun being declined by Microsoft Bing. All my receipts are valid and in date (within 14 days of purchase) but Microsoft has declined all of them. What is going on?

    Once it accepted one receipt, just about 30 minutes and only after it is accepted ✅, I scan another and wait until that one is accepted = 30-31 minutes.

    Do like I have and move all your scans over to FETCH. Have not had a single issue and payouts are fast.

    The same thing has happened to me. I reached out to Microsoft, and this was sent to me.

    You’ve reached out to Microsoft Rewards support to check why you’re getting an error when scanning receipt and it keeps getting declined, and we appreciate you taking the time to raise this concern with us so we can check your account. I understand how important this needs to be addressed as you don’t want to lose your cashback earnings. Allow me to discuss this with you.  
      
    Upon review, it appears that our system has detected multiple failed scan attempts, due to non-compliance with the Microsoft Services Agreement. Therefore, your account is temporarily ineligible to scan any further receipts.  We do this for security purposes and to prevent your account from being permanently blocked from the program. You will be able to scan again once the message no longer appears from your Rewards Cashback dashboard. We do advice to scan the receipts again after 12 hours. 

    I sent another message to find out when I will be able to scan again, and I get this same message. By the way, I only scanned once not multiple times.
