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.

    Have a class action lawyer because a company isn't giving away as many free gifts as it used to, or as many as you want them to?? That should be an easy win for you. Must be worth at least $1million a person I'd have thought...

    Same I can't search at work. I have about a ten minute window in the morning to complete my searches and they have destroyed that. I have been a rewards member for as long as the program has existed, why would I be a bot now? In the name of progress and saving $$$ somebody ruined this.

    Reported three times..they asked for screenshots which I sent. Within 24 hours on each report I received case closed message. Tried Edge browser and Start app. ( did get just a few on Start news but not near what I actually searched. They wanna accuse cheating via bot ....I no nothing about bots. They are the bot champions with all the AI tools.

    I have also found that depends on what browser you are using for the 150 point PC search you can defeat the "3 searches per 15 min." by going to Bing.com and refreshing your browser before each click on a tile.
