Hi,
We hope that all is well while reading this email from us. This is Lyani from Microsoft Rewards support. I’ll be happy to assist you regarding the issue with your Service Request.
We understand you are contacting us because you are unable redeem Microsoft Rewards points since redeem page is blank or redeem page is not showing gift card. I know how important it is for you to use your hard-earned points to redeem your desired reward. Allow us to explain things.After thorough review, you have encountered an issue with redeeming rewards because you appear to be attempting to redeem an item from a country different than the one you have earned points from, which is a violation of program policy. Please be inform that you should only be redeeming rewards in the markets where you have earned points (your market), this is because offers and rewards varies between account, region or market. Please ensure that you are not using a proxy or VPN service that may obfuscate your true location.Thank you and have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Lyani
Microsoft Customer Service and Support
I'm yet to be told when and which country i supposedly violated their policy. nearly 5 weeks I've been trying to resolve this issue
