    This sucks … always had a nice start to the morning earning points and now not happening … why change a nice search to one that is impossible to earn 🤬

    As of a week ago I no longer get any points for a PC search. I only get points if I search from my Android phone.

    More visits more ad revenue. It is not worth my time anymore. I keep my daily streak and move on.

    I want to chime in and say I'm having the same problem. Used to get 5 points per search up to 150 points on pc/laptop, and 5 points per search up to 100 points on mobile. I now have to do 4 or 5 times the searches to get any points, if even that. Sometimes I get none at all on either platform. I've restarted, cleared cache, updated, shutdown, done the hokie pokie and spun myself around, and nothing. The Microsoft Edge Bonus is gone. Other activities have gone from 10 points to 1 or 2. Reading articles on mobile used to reward 2 points each article up to 30 points, now I can click and read over 20 and wind up with 5 points? Everytime I was asked to updated the mobile app to use previously for 500 points, I made sure I did, so I'm using the updated app. I'm not sure what changes Microsoft has made on the back end that is causing the lack in ability to gain points, but it's sad. I know it's free and the rewards have come free. But, seems like if they were jut going to cut you off, they'd say something or explain how things would be changing.
