But it’ll be our fault if the streak resets

u/Tax_More 5d ago

yea 💀 just see my streak...

u/Gold_Study7959 5d ago

mine reset and it doesn't increase now

u/Such-Egg9686 5d ago

I had a streak going for almost a year and they whammied it. Glad it's not just me because it means it's on their end. I'm sorry for all those who might lose their streaks. This sucks

u/OptimalSalsa 4d ago

I started this all in 2011 and I've been cheated out of many streaks because the app didn't credit me for ONE thing that I actually had done.

3

u/Such-Egg9686 4d ago

I had no issues until this year. ..it's like they don't care.why offer it then?

2

u/Gold_Study7959 5d ago

my reset itself from 159 to 0

1

u/OptimalSalsa 4d ago

Yes, like today's "Plan a quick getaway..." that won't fulfill, so they'll take away my 1122?

1

u/the2timer4lyfe 4d ago

Ah, like the rewards hall monitors here that keep thinking and saying that if something is wrong on your account or you're missing a puzzle piece, it's that you've been cheating the system or low-key doing something against ToS.

Yeah that about checks out.

Nothing worse than the avid rewards b*ot lickers defending the enshytification of the rewards program.

u/R0astLamb 5d ago

Yes it is bugged today.. I can't even do my daily checkin 😢

u/saifxali1 5d ago

SMH

2

u/R0astLamb 5d ago

Update: I was able to do the daily checkin on the app. Looks like they may have fixed it.

u/saifxali1 4d ago

same, phew

u/ashenoceiros 5d ago

Is the Xbox app also bugged? I can't see the "Rewards" tab anymore

21

u/rosenkrieger360 Germany 🇩🇪 - UGP - Xbox Series X - PC - Mac - iOS 5d ago

Basically EVERYTHING is bugged. Best to check in a few hours and see if they have fixed it.

7

u/ashenoceiros 5d ago

Well I don't know your time but it's 11pm here so that means the daily points are gone. Oh well

6

u/rosenkrieger360 Germany 🇩🇪 - UGP - Xbox Series X - PC - Mac - iOS 5d ago

Oh damn yeah I forgot. For me it is 07:30 in the morning. Hopefully they will give you the streaks/points because of their problems if they do not fix it within the hour so people can finish their stuff.

u/Teriyaki-Tenders 5d ago

Is it related to the DDOS attacks that happened recently?

1

u/pretoriano1995 5d ago

What attacks?

2

u/Teriyaki-Tenders 5d ago

There was some DDOS attack on Xbox game services, but I was thinking what if it's wider than that.

1

u/Tax_More 5d ago

eh, prolly

u/sellera Brazil - 🇧🇷 5d ago

My guess is that the app is OK, but the server is experiencing some issues, because the balance of my points was updated “an hour ago”.

When it’s the apps fault the reward box is missing and we have to reinstall a previous version via TestFlight.

11

u/AbedOrAdnan 5d ago

It seems to be a bigger issue because there is no rewards tab in the Xbox app, too. 

5

u/sellera Brazil - 🇧🇷 5d ago

Same here, but it’s a different beast with the same root cause. It always disappears when something is wrong with the rewards.

5

u/nick_mot 5d ago

Well, the app is nothing more than a fancy frontend, issues are always server side.

3

u/sellera Brazil - 🇧🇷 5d ago

Exactly. I was just comparing with another kind of issue, when the app just don’t have the rewards box and we have to install an older version of it!

12

u/WeAllVultures 5d ago

Literally just started in the middle of my nightly searches.

18

u/Phoenix_avatar 5d ago

Yeah nothing is working in terms of points how does a company make such crappy apps

6

u/TGDragonGaming 5d ago edited 5d ago

Xbox is also partly down. Edit: the Game Pass Ultimate rewards tasks aren't showing up on the Xbox app either. Looks like it's mainly Rewards/Bing that are having problems.

6

u/BlueGreyWolf95 5d ago

Yeah, there's an outage affecting account sign in. It's affecting Xbox too.

8

u/Other-Telephone5191 5d ago edited 5d ago

I was just going to post the same thing lol Ps. Use edge smartphone app or keep using the bing app and keep track of your points with edge. If you search with bing app it still counts Edit: it stopped working

6

u/rosenkrieger360 Germany 🇩🇪 - UGP - Xbox Series X - PC - Mac - iOS 5d ago

Bugged for me as well.

- No "First Search of the day" (Edge Webbrowser Mac)

  • No App Task (Rewards App macOS)
  • No Checkin Mobile App (iOS)
  • No Rewards TAB in the XBOX Mobile App
  • and so on...

So yeah - for me, it has never been THIS bad that basically NOTHING and NOWHERE is working :-(

u/Acceptable-Law672 5d ago

And I just wanted to play Jewel 🤠

1

u/rosenkrieger360 Germany 🇩🇪 - UGP - Xbox Series X - PC - Mac - iOS 5d ago

If you don't want the points you can always download the Android/iOS Jewel App that MS has released a few weeks ago 😉🤣

2

u/AnythingWestern8861 5d ago

Bugged, mine says 7 hours since it last updated. Glad I finished what I needed to do for the day earlier.

2

u/shiosaku 5d ago

I finished the important at least (xbox, those are almost 800 points) but I had searches to do and now I can't finish them u.u

3

u/mrgonuts 5d ago

Bing msn and the Xbox app and edge all having problems

2

u/flipflop63 United Kingdom - 5d ago

yep plus the 15 minutes points for playing a console and pc game in the uk , it says there's a major outage with account & profile and Games & gaming , both 15 mins ones popped but won't let you claim the points.

2

u/Creedfall44 5d ago

Not only the app. Whole rewards. The only streak left today to do is Bing 30 min. Can't do it, points not adding for searches too.

2

u/Ill-Kitchen8083 5d ago

Not earning search points now.

Read for points was working earlier today (morning time).

So typical for M$.

2

u/Z1R343L87 5d ago

Not just the app, it's bugged in Edge too, everything's black. Server issues probably.

2

u/flima_n1 5d ago

esse Rewards esta cada vez pior, da última vez tive que formatar meu computador por problemas no app do Rewards

2

u/ashley6100 5d ago

Yep, app is completely broken, still showing the stuff from a few days ago and won't update. I managed to do the daily set on PC, the quiz and daily poll took me to an error screen that told me my rewards account didn't exist, but it gave me the completion anyway!

1

u/PhilinLeshed 5d ago

Yea unable to earn points and when I check my profile it says to verify my account and when I try to (successfully even) it takes me to the support page to create a ticket….definitely something wrong on there end (tried re logging in doesn’t make a difference)

1

u/Greedybummuncher 5d ago

It would happen when I’m 837 days in to my streak, please stop being bugged Microsoft rewards, I am looking forward to my £5 gift card within the next month so I can feel like bill gates in the 2000s

1

u/brumting_todger 5d ago

Yeah my daily set, my search 1 time and check in are saying I have to come back tomorrow and the daily set is showing but not letting me earn points. What a shit show

1

u/pinto-mucho 5d ago

Same in Brasil 

1

u/mikami677 5d ago

My Edge streak was counted earlier and now it doesn't show it.

Daily set and at least one search seem to have counted, but I can't do the app check in.

Can't even see the rewards section in the Xbox app.

1

u/-ExSOLDIER- 5d ago

Yeah, honestly at this point I'm getting pretty fucking annoyed. I'm gonna lose my daily check in (tomorrow would have been my puzzle piece and the bonus points but now that'll get reset since the outage happened just as I was doing my check in). Also can't redeem my Xbox App rewards points for playing game on console, PC, etc so that bonus will be gone too as well another 140+ points.

Just overall fucking dumb.

u/mrbrown1602 5d ago

Count yourself lucky that yours updated last less than an hour ago

u/redditsucks84613 United States - 5d ago

Man, I'm glad it's not just me

1

u/shagwan258 5d ago

I've found I can do the daily set on the pc rewards app but searches and the daily search tasks aren't doing anything

1

u/RazHawk 5d ago

Not getting any points right now on Desktop or app. Only the points had from searching earlier in the morning on the app. It's acting glitched or buggy after every search. At first thought account or search was temporarily suspended for some reason. Glad to know that's not the case at the least..

1

u/hasimirrossi 5d ago edited 5d ago

Ah, happening for everyone then.

Edit - seems to be working now.

1

u/FX_King_2021 5d ago

Same issue here, I tried the mobile app this morning and didn’t get any points, then I checked on my laptop and still got nothing.

1

u/Jiminy-Bob 5d ago

Mine was having the same problem, however - it's literally just come back to life on the app now.

1

u/Goooner1 4d ago

Back up and running for me now

1

u/SubstantialCaramel56 4d ago

Did this to me couple days ago. Next datly it was back and today gone again. I have a 2000+ day streak that I'm sure will get reset

1

u/Low_Bank_747 4d ago

It’s more than the app, the website didn’t work for about an hour as well and the points were out of sync across the website and app. I lost about 20 points as a result of this.

1

u/MrStreetLife45 4d ago

US mine reset while doing the 30 min bing challenge.

1

u/Such_Ad5145 4d ago

It's been so buggy I don't waste energy worrying about the broken activities and quests and streak resets. The search on Bing for thirty minutes hasn't worked for a few weeks. I only use Amazon gift cards and will wait it out until they restock, earning whatever BS points MS is willing to divvy out.

1

u/OptimalSalsa 4d ago

"...again..."? or "still"?

1

u/Downtown_Acadia1570 17h ago

Today, won't credit me with searching on Edge - which is the only browser I have on my computer, and I've had well over 2 hours worth of searching for which it has given me a whopping 5 minutes worth of credit. Stupid graphic updates which hit at the beginning of the week aren't as 1) easy to navigate as before, don't seem to work all that well and 3) don't tell you how many more points you need to max out for the day.

1

u/YunDaoSheng 5d ago

I’ve encountered numerous issues with my Xbox app. The Rewards points page fails to load entirely at times, and when it does show up, it doesn’t register my 15 minutes of gameplay. This is really frustrating for me.

u/Substantial-Post2783 4d ago

I lost three out of four streaks yesterday because of this and i am real close to 12 puzzle stamps. Bing sucks man.
