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.

    Having same issues, it started on the date they changed points to 1 point reward and 2 points. Aftar spending three hours searching, decided just Search until all 1 & 2 points where finished. I have completely uninstalled Microsoft rewards deleted program. Adding rewards program, yet didn't happy.

    Ditto here. 3-4 lookups seem to be the limit--after the first 3 lookups!

    What a letdown... Bean-counters win, but MS loses. Maybe someone in mgmt has enough sense to repeal these current rules.

    100% I kept wondering why my searches were not earning I thought there was something wrong with my computer. I legit tried 3 different computers different locations and it wasn’t me at all! Why would Microsoft do this to long time users? It’s been at least 9 years for me. Searching for rewards. I’m so upset. I will be searching for a similar search for rewards at this rate it will not be worth the inconvenience, and minimal search points total for day.
