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?
A program that grants points for using Bing search, which users can redeem for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, or charitable donations.

What's the minimum points you can redeem to get a gift card. How points equal the value of the gift card?
So as far as I can tell, it looks like 5,000 points is the starting points for redemption. The more points you let build up, the better the "value" towards dollars. For example, to get a $3 Amazon card, you need 5,000 point. But for $5 you only need 6,500.
You will earn a minimum of 25npoints per scan. However, check the app, and let's say you buy a beverage they suggest, you can get 1,500 points for that one receipt.
I've not paid attention to the "bonus points" honestly, and I've found my normal shopping habits give me those bonuses.
The way I look at it, it's free money for scanning something I would otherwise throw away or ATTEMPT to scan on the Microsoft app for a PENNY only for it to be rejected.
Hope this was helpful.
My apologies I should not have said points and I should’ve said money cashback because I was referring to the Microsoft Start app where you scan receipts and they give you actual cash back. I was up to $17 but I should’ve had about $25 but it’s irrelevant now because they’re doing away with it Altogether, I imagine it’s because it didn’t work but thank you though for trying to help me out I do appreciate it
No problem! Over the course of the Microsoft program, I cashed in over $40.10 according to their accounting. However, like you said, I'm sure it was a LOT more.
Something I thought was interesting when I looked back through THEIR accounting of my receipts, MAGICALLY they only show 2 "cancelled" receipts. Yet I had MANY rejected attempts of receipts.
