Why am I not getting rewards points for searches?

I was searching for my daily rewards points on my phone and computer. For my computer I was rewarded for 9 searches, and it stopped granting points after that and on mobile only 2 searches granted points to my account. I tried multiple browsers and devices and searched a variety of searches. I would like to know if this is a bug or if I need to fix something on my end.

They changed everything lately. No more bonus as everyone has mentioned. Now, I just read on MSN that they are requiring a 3-search/15minutes capacity... they are calling it a "cooldown". So, you can only get 15 points per 15 mintues.... so much for Bing... I'll go back to Google Search for all my research... Bing isn't worth it anymore. It'll take forever to get any rewards so it's not worth it for a sub-par search engine. As of October, you could possibly max everything out in searches and activities and MAYBE get a $10 gift card in a month's time... now it'll take about twice that time... and you have to work on it throughout the day instead of an intense hour or two. I don't sit on a computer all day... only for a couple hours with work while I do product research... I'll search hundreds of websites in a couple hours... so all I could get from Microsoft Rewards is maybe 100 points... the rest of the 50 allowed per day in searches is unachievable as I'm not on all day.... so, forget it Bing, sorry, you lost a customer with this.

    I hate this so much, freaking stupid. I'm gonna start buying playstation products, and just start funding microsofts rivals, because how irritating, and insulting these people have become.

    I agree with you. I am about to cash in my points and drop doing searches. I am not a young person who has nothing better to do in their life. In addition to doing the usual stuff around the home, I also work. My hours are 6:30 PM to 12:30 AM 5 days a week. I try to catch up with sleep on the two days I have off. This week I will be working 6 days and indefinite until my co-worker returns from a leave of absence. For sure I won't have time to do searches every 15 minutes. I have been doing this for over five years. I was lucky as at one point I had enough points to buy a computer monitor and I only had to pay a portion of the monitor. Lately I use my points at Amazon. Lately I have installed receipt scanning apps. I will stick to this where I will get better results.

    Agree! So tired of wasting any loyalty to Microsoft. They have no integrity when it comes to customers or subscribers to their services
