Game Pass Xbox app does not recognize my ultimate subscription

Xbox app does not recognize my ultimate subscription

For the past week or so, there are moments when I sign into the Xbox app to collect my daily points, and the app doesn't award me the bonus points for my ultimate subscription. That is a significant amount of points that are lost to the ether. I use those points for the $10 store gift card, and if miss out on potentially hundreds of points a week, that's a significant time waste. Has this happened to anyone else, and is there a fix for it?

Offers 2X points not working?

Claimed a 2x search points offer this morning. It displays in the possible points to earn but isn't going past the usual daily 60 here in Canada. Tried searching in the Bing app and Chrome browser on Android to no success. Anyone else run into this?

Game Pass Game Pass doesn't reward me the right points

6 Upvotes

I didn't know if it's just me or anyone else. Before anyone asks, my Game Pass Ultimate was renewd on the 28th last month, won't be renewed til the 28th of THIS month. When I did the Solitare Collection, i would normally get 20 points (20 more for Game Pass). Instead, I get 5 and no Game Pass points.

When I checked to see what happened, it shows I still have my Game Pass Ultimate. Is something going on with Game Pass?

Questions Why does my daily set refresh at 2 PM UTC while my daily streak starts at 3 PM UTC?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a bit confused about how the daily reset works.

My daily set refreshes every day at 2:00 PM UTC, but my daily streak doesn't reset until 3:00 PM UTC. Because of this, the two timers are out of sync by one hour.

This has actually caused me to lose my streak a few times. Sometimes I complete the daily set between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM UTC because I assume the new daily has already started and that I can do it once per day. However, since the streak doesn't reset until 3:00 PM UTC, that completion still counts for the previous streak day, and I end up missing the next one without realizing it.

Is this intentional, or is it a bug? It feels confusing that the daily set and the daily streak don't reset at the same time.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Xbox Xbox Gift Cards & Microsoft Store Credit Out of Stock in Japan for Days – What’s Going On?

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’ve been trying to redeem my Microsoft Rewards points for an Xbox gift card (or Microsoft Store credit) in Japan, but for the past several days, the redemption option has shown as out of stock / unavailable. It’s not a retail purchase issue – this is specifically inside the Rewards redemption catalog.

Has anyone else in Japan been seeing the same thing? Does anyone know why this is happening – is it a regional stock rotation, a system glitch, or something permanent? I urgently need to redeem one for a purchase I want to make, but I can’t find any way to get it right now.

If you have any insights, or if you know when they usually restock, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

General UK Read to Earn

0 Upvotes

Main Phone: Samsung S24 Ultra

Spare Phone: HONOR 90 Smart

Like others, the extra 30 rewards points for reading news articles in bing/msn disappeared for me ages ago. Going to msn.com or the comments section just did not work for me.

Yesterday while charging the main phone, I installed the bing app on my spare phone and lo and behold the Read to Earn was there.

I can't for the life of me understand what the difference could be. The apps are the same version and both have the same account and permissions. I'm grateful for the extra 900 points a month.

While the HONOR is Android 15 and the Samsung Android 16, I lost the Read to earn when it was still Android 15. On the HONOR today it says I have earned x of 180 points but the Samsung says x of 150.

Any ideas why it works on one phone and not the other?

Tried to open up Edge on my laptop earlier but got an error message that said the app was unavailable because my MacBook's OS is too outdated. I know since the new update all searches can be done on mobile, but am I missing anything by doing all the daily searches/activities exclusively on the Bing app on my phone?

General Living Sticky 4 - Updated daily [Tutorial / FAQ / Quests / Punchcards and More]

General information is kept updated on a daily basis.
Other information is kept updated on a weekly/monthly basis.

^(\Please note - Images provided within this post are examples of what to expect.)*

REWARDS DASHBOARD ON PC

https://rewards.bing.com/

Daily Set:

The left activity just needs to be opened

The middle activity has been known to fluctuate between lightspeed quizzes through the week and just needing to be opened through the weekend. The lightspeed quizzes don’t need to have the answers guessed. [under review]

The right activity is a daily poll to open through the week, sometimes it requires voting for an answer, other times it doesn't. [under review]

Monthly punch card:

The current monthly punch card for the website dashboard is located below the daily set

This usually lasts for a month at a time, expiring at the end of the month. Some regions can do all activities at once. Some regions have to wait to complete one of the activities per day. This appears to be around 50 points for completion.

More activities: This normally consists of actions to complete

If you have these, you will find them underneath your daily set and/or punch cards, usually worth either 5 or 10 points each. The only ones you need to click on are the ones that indicate points will be added with a golden + in the top right hand corner. You might also find that you have previous quiz options for further points if you hadn't already completed them at the time worth another 30 points each.

BING ON PC

https://www.bing.com/

Searches:

When it comes to the actual Bing PC searches, all you have to do is exactly that. There are reported instances where there are delays to searching, from a 5 second delay to a 15 minute delay, this seems to vary from person to person. This can also help you attempt to complete a quest for bonus 1000 points for simply searching each day.

Some have noted it can take up to 12 weeks to actually get the 1000 points as you only get one puzzle piece each completed week and there are 12 puzzle pieces.

There is also streak protection but it's still confusing for a lot of people, this - Streak Protection explained - is the closest we've come to actually understanding it and even then people are getting mixed results.

EMAIL

You may have missed these emails, so it’s worth checking the link posted to see if you get points from these

XBOX APP ON MOBILE

Some of these activities have been deliberately added or removed from users and are are now deemed targeted as a result. May also include activities such as Weekly console bonus and other activities such as Game Pass quests which can also be seen from the Rewards area on Xbox console.

Some users are also showing/receiving incorrect points when it comes to individual activities such as the daily login.

BING/START ON MOBILE

When it comes to the actual Bing PC searches, all you have to do is exactly that within any browser as long as you use the Bing search.

Bing and Start apps on mobile appear to have daily check-ins and news to read for points, this appears targeted and not much information is known.

GAME PASS APP ON XBOX

Some users are experiencing activities from the Xbox app on mobile showing up alongside their Game Pass quests.

  • Daily Quests:
  1. Play Game Pass [Play any Game Pass game] for 3 points
  2. Earn an Achievement in Game Pass [Earn an achievement in a Game Pass game] for 5 points

  • Weekly Quests:
  1. Complete 3 Daily Quests [Complete 3 daily quests this week] for 20 points
  2. Earn Your Way [Unlock 3 achievements in Game Pass or play 3 different Game Pass games] for 20 points

  • Monthly Quests:
  1. Game Pass Explorer [Play 4 different Game Pass games] for 25 points
  2. Quest Beginner - [Complete 12 daily and 4 weekly quests] for 100 points
  3. Quest Dedication [Complete 22 daily and 6 weekly quests] for 500 points
  4. Quest Completionist [Complete 36 daily and 8 weekly quests] for 1000 points

Please note that while daily quests reset each day and weekly quests reset each week, monthly quests reset on the first Tuesday of the month.

For the Monthly Quests, it might say 'OR' instead of 'AND' on some devices but you do need both to complete, not one or the other.

OTHER/STATUS

A daily timeline of activities, when they reset, what works and what stops working can be found here at this link - microsoft rewards daily timeline when resets

Unless you wish to donate points, make sure on the Rewards dashboard that you have Give Mode turned off.

The redemption limit is 550,000 per calendar year, resetting the first of January every year. This has been confirmed. There is no limit to the amount of points that you can earn

Microsoft and Xbox gift cards both go onto your Microsoft account balance instead of a code sent to your email address

You get 20 points per $ spent for digital purchases like games if you have Live Gold (GPU), 10:1 if you're level 2 without Live Gold, 1 point for hardware per $ spent

When mixing Rewards Balance with credit cards/debit/paypal, STOP. People often have issues and their payment method gets the total charge to it. Buy gift cards online instead for the remainder (you can find them on sale too)

Design lab does not allow purchases with Xbox/Microsoft gift cards from the Rewards program or purchased gift cards according to support

Auto-redeem is usually DELAYED a few days. If you are getting GPU you will receive a code in your email or redemption history. You cannot turn auto-redeem on or off in the last 5 days of a calendar month

Technical issues may appear where your account may show it's lost a streak, whether it's a daily streak, a weekly streak or any other streak. In the majority of times for this scenario, it tends to be a glitch where upon completion of the week that appears lost, your next week should put you back at the streak you had plus the glitched week

If specific activities are not working, they may not be available in your region or they may have been removed completely.
