The way I look at this program is a slow burn. You keep at it and bank your points and then you'll be able to get something large. If you are looking to use it to buy a $60 game on the PC/Xbox, it'll take about 4 months at 500 points a day. 500 points a day is pretty average and isn't bad.
No worries though, you'll start earning points after doing a couple of initial searches. Rest assured, the points that you will earn for the day will not be affected, you will still have the capability to earn until you reach your maximum daily earning limit. We hope this explanation clarifies your concern.
My points balance wasn't impacted by the 3rd, but account balance shows 75. I can't redeem any more points atm - 'There is an issue with your order or account'. I've submitted a ticket to support, but it's been over 24hrs so I doubt I'll hear anything back. I haven't tried purchasing anything yet with that 75 balance.
the points per dollar column should be viewed as a separate calculation, only displaying the worth of your points per gift card level Microsoft Rewards auto-redeem deal is limited to 1 use per month. Microsoft will charge your account points balance on the 1st of every month.
EDIT2: No points at all in either app now no matter what I've tried. For those of you like myself who read news articles regardless of points, make sure you go to another news hub. The only way to get it back is to deny them the clicks. EDIT3: 2/14/24 They're Baaa-aaack! Coins started popping up this morning.
So very recently people have be unable to complete their daily tasks/search points. However these methods will help resolve this issue, feel free to ask questions in the comments if you need help. Cellular Data - On your phone if you turn on cellular data you should be able to search and do your daily tasks again.
Only a few searches give you points but unfortunately, I am not getting any points at all for some days now. Only the daily tasks work that give you 10 or 5 points.
I recently also had the problem with redeeming my points on Desktop. "There was a problem with my account.". After that I tried redeeming my points on the Rewards App on my Xbox and it worked perfectly fine! So try out using the Rewards App if you have the same problem.
