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.

    For the last couple of weeks or so I've been back to getting all 150 points in one sitting. No more 15 points per 15 minutes cap. I can now read my news every morning with Bing, just like I've been doing for years, and get all my points with my morning coffee.

    So actually, if you have bing on your phone it'll allow you to get 5 points for each search. if you are on level 2 for microsoft rewards you can search to get up to 100 points on your phone. I still have tried the microsoft rewards thing on my computer, ut we'll have to wait. So, just download bing on your phone, sign into you microsoft acc, and start earning. hopefullly this is helpful!
