The puzzle piece seems to be working again but on the dashboard the daily total it thinks you can earn is notably a nice round figure of 500 points. If that's the case, applied across the month it would mean a new maximum earning potential of 15,500 points meaning that half the time we're at the point where they'll have nerfed 50% of the earnable points.

Another day, another nerf. The remaining 'more activities' that were 10 points, are now only 2.
Given that the first 'more activities' each day has recently been nerfed from 10 to 5 to 1, I assume tomorrow the above will be 1 too. Or just disappear entirely.
"even more nerfs today the daily tasks are now all 10 points each garrrr"
That's just a usual Friday no? That middle one isn't always 30.

Because the Rewards train keeps on ploughing through peoples good will - it now seems like MS are putting mass bans in place on accounts. Common offences seem to be multiple MS accounts in one household, having previous used saved searches for points etc.
I haven't used any of the tricks previously but the temptation to just cash out my 112,000 points and reduce the risk given the direction the scheme is headed in is growing.

Definitely seems like a combination of redemption outages and mass bannings have taken their toll. Tried to cash out but by the sounds MS are now soft banning anyone who tries to redeem 3 or more gift cards at a time also.
I got one £10 card through for Starbucks via the Bing app but though it went through fine and the points were deducted no sign of the gift card yet
Nothing else will redeem though. I'll wait till the issues pass as I haven't had the ban screen but it seems like building more than £50 at a time from here on will be too risky to hold onto.
I await what tomorrow's Rewards crisis is at this point

If it's possible to accrue £50 over time then it should be perfectly acceptable to redeem it in one go.
It's been flaky as it's ever been this week with all the changes so my gut feel is the whole system is getting revised but at the same time there's probably a major spike in people trying to redeem and check out.
I saw. that the majority of Xbox live services were experiencing issues yesterday so maybe there's more stuff going on.

Fallout actually looks ok, HaloS2 I’ll probably watch at some stage.Last edited by fishbowlhead; 03-12-2023, 18:57.
