There was also a comment about earning points via search.
What seems to be missing from both posts is a snapshot of what the actual terms of service say; which isn’t just automated searches… searches must be entered manually and be for an actual purpose of search (research was their term).
That’s tripping people up now I fear but I get down voted any time I point out the terms that people agreed to when they used this programme
Edit here it is: A search is the act of an individual user manually entering text for the good faith purpose of obtaining Bing search results for such user’s own research purposes
Thanks, I have multiple Accounts, but I only use one for search and the other one is mostly just as an alternate email for confirmation with 2 step verification or as not to use my main email on everything.
When I looked into this before, most of the users were banned for using a VPN or automating their searches.
I don’t know if saving 30 bings searches as a bookmark / collection and then opening that each day counts as “automated searches”, but I saw that brought up in discussions about how people use the rewards program.
If you do everything correct and by the terms, you should have no problems. The people getting banned are using scripts and shady extension etc… They got what they deserve. I feel no sympathy for them.
My Theory is that the cheaters are ruined it for us legit user. MS has nerf a bunch of stuff is because of the cheaters.
Tweet was already posted in Community thread but I don’t think Ultimate members have ever received extra points for completing punch cards. Im not sure if what they’re talking about is even a “punch card”. It sounds like “just buy the games and you’ll receive the points”.
Check out the Rewards App in the Xbox Store to find our Summer Spotlight Reward Offer. For every dollar spent on eligible purchases, players will earn Microsoft Reward points that can be redeemed for Gift Cards, Subscriptions, and more. And, if you are an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member, you’ll earn up to 20x more reward points per dollar.
Said in the other thread I hope the punchcards are actually decent this time. They used to be so good now it almost feels like they are phasing it out massively
I could be completely wrong, but my interpretation of what the blog says is that we’ll receive the points upfront for whatever we buy in the event. There won’t actually be a punch card.
Sucks was hoping remnant 2 would be in the list of eligible games. But the list of 16 so far don’t interest me enough to bite the bullet on any of them.
For the US the Microsoft Rewards REDEEM section on browser and console app, the Game Pass Ultimate 1 month and 3 Month options are back, as are the auto-redeem 1 month option.
I can confirm that my Canadian auto redeem automatically went through a couple days ago without any action on my part. Though at that time I did not notice those options coming back, the auto redeem going through indicated that it was just a matter of time.
Actually we’ve never seen a 3-month auto redeem option in Canada, I’m curious how many points is that?
I forgot to mention that Microsoft rewards team added 500 points to my balance due to the notorious quest V for victory for gamepass quest being glitched
