Has anyone else noticed that the 10-day countdown to earn 150 points has disappeared? It seems to have vanished over the past few days. Are daily question points no longer being awarded?
Hey there The issue you’re facing with the 10-day countdown to earn 150 points and daily question points is a recent change made by Microsoft. Here’s what’s going on:
With the new dynamics of Microsoft Rewards, it seems that the points system has changed. You might have noticed that the rewards are not as straightforward as they used to be. For example, some users have reported getting only 35 points for completing 30 searches, which is significantly less than the expected 150 points.
Regarding the daily question points, it appears that those are no longer available. Instead, you can earn points through other means such as:
- Search with Bing: You can earn points for searching via Bing on both desktop and mobile devices. Ensure you’re signed in to your Microsoft account for the points to count.
- Edge Bonus: Using Edge on desktop can give you extra daily points, but this bonus might have been removed or is not universally available.
- Bing App: You can earn points by reading news articles through the Bing app, which can add up to 900 points per month.
To make the most of these changes, here are some tips:
- Workaround for Bing Points: Some users have found that refreshing the rewards page and then the search page can help register points more consistently. You might need to do this process multiple times.
- Search Strategies: To maximize your points, try changing your search terms frequently and make sure you’re not repeating the same searches. Set a 15-minute timer between batches of searches to avoid any cooldown period.
- Check for Mobile Rewards: Some regions might not support mobile rewards, so ensure that you have access to these benefits in your area.
The best way to adapt to these changes is to experiment with different search patterns and keep an eye on your rewards page for updates.
