This month is my the first month I have reached gold since the new system, and my Bing star bonus has been at 3000 consistently this entire month. Today, it went from that to 800. I don't know what I did wrong to lose 2200 points, is there any way I can get them back?

If you aren't seeing latest news as suggestions to search on mobile, go to Home and check out the carousel of tiles. There's a new one called Trending with news headlines that count as searches. It now opens a ton of tabs, so you'll need to close them regularly.

I'm not able to complete this when I get the option to set as wallpaper nothing happens have any of you been able to complete this?

(I forgot to mention this detail: this change happened from one day to the next—literally overnight. Last week it showed 1,800, and today, out of nowhere, I see 60... I don’t understand.)

Hi Guys!

I recently joined MR but I'm not sure if these prices apply in Mexico as well, Is any one here from Mexico or in Mexico that has been able to use your points to cash any reward?

Thanks in advance.

Is there another bonus points update before the end of the month or is whatever number you see final?

I’ve been having trouble getting my progress tracked for Rewards on both Xbox and PC; playing for more than 15 minutes of gameplay aren’t registering, and there’s no progress at all. Has anyone else been experiencing this issue today?

Hello all,

I’ve been doing this challenge on GForce NOW app, what are the other ways this can be done other than this? I do not own an actual PC.

Heard a few people mention Microsoft Solitaire but doesn’t let me play, just says “add to wish list”.

Any help would be amazing thank you in advance!

Does Visual Searching on Bing also count for genuine searches for Bing Star points?

In msn the search to win now in the uk has no news story’s I used to just click one by one

My streak isn't being recorded for today; is anyone else having the same problem?

I'm past level 2144 now and still going strong.

Especially in the last year!

Hey everyone,

I recently pre-ordered GTA VI on my Xbox Series X for CAD $109.99 ($126.46 after taxes).

Before purchasing, I spent a considerable amount of time grinding Microsoft Rewards points until I had enough to redeem a CAD $50 Xbox gift card (around 34,315 points).

My intention was to use that $50 credit toward GTA VI and pay the remaining $76.46 using my Visa.

During checkout, I specifically selected my $50 Microsoft account balance as the primary payment method, with my Visa as the backup. Everything looked correct, so I went ahead with the purchase.

However, after checking my order history, I noticed that the receipt shows the full $126.46 total, with both my Visa and Microsoft account listed as payment methods. When I checked my Xbox account afterward, the entire $50 balance was still there.

I’m now confused about whether Microsoft actually applied my credit or charged the full amount to my Visa.

I understand this is a pre-order and that payment processing might work differently, but I specifically redeemed those Rewards points to reduce my out-of-pocket cost.

My questions are:

1. Is it normal for Microsoft account credit to remain untouched immediately after placing a pre-order?
2. Will Microsoft automatically deduct the $50 credit when the game is charged closer to release?
3. If my Visa was charged the full $126.46, can Microsoft apply my existing $50 balance and refund $50 to my card without cancelling the pre-order?

Has anyone experienced something similar with Xbox pre-orders and Microsoft Rewards credit?

I’d really appreciate any advice. I don’t want to lose my pre-order or have those Rewards points go to waste.

Thanks!
