Why does only some of my searches give my points on Microsoft Rewards?

This issue is getting really annoying for me and I need this fixed ASAP.

I've tried the following:

-Resetting history

-Clearing all of my cache

-Resetting my settings

-Logging in and out of my account

-Uninstalling and reinstalling both Bing and Microsoft Edge

Other information:

-I haven't reached my daily limit for points from searching

-I live in the US

-The issue occurs on both my PC and my phone

-I'm not searching things I've already searched today

    Seems to be getting on track. Chrome actually is awarding points faster than Edge. Even had a couple of 5 pointers today for air flight and hotels, but they would not register points.

    Following the 15-minute rule, I get the points. The problem is that I use Google Chrome and not Edge or Bing.

    Exactly the same problem. I have been able to usually get rewarded for 4 searches then I have to wait 15 minutes. However, sometimes I get nothing for the searches. This happens quite often when I am see arching using my 0honr, or mobile searches.

    Update: quizzes and polls are no longer being awarded points. So, I am missing on the daily streak. No response from Microsoft. Maybe after the holidays I might get an answer to my complaint.
