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.
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.
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.
The points were still counting the last week or so despite the visual changes but the app had an update today and now the points are gone for good. Viewing articles is now gone. I also do not get points from the MSN/Bing Gaming section anymore. I click on the points and see the green checkmark but my total never goes up anymore.
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.
