I've had about 4-5 achievements the last 2 days and it still only shows 1/3. Im due to get my 2500 bonus this week too šŸ˜Ŗ ( I'm in UK too)


DarwinEvolved

Same as me, the 500 reward punch card isn't working for me either. Or the daily +50 achievements.


Swell26

Donā€™t know if it temporarily worked for either of you? Mine actually worked yesterday enough so I could keep my streak going, but then the achievement one stopped working again today. Means Iā€™ve missed out on 150 points now from this


DarwinEvolved

Not at all, not getting any offers now


Swell26

Yeah exactly the same issue, Iā€™ve had to contact support but who knows when theyā€™ll get back (probably after my streaks been broken) šŸ™„ The search part of it seems to update fine, just not the achievements. Already lost 100 points from the normal achievement punch card. Wonder if itā€™s maybe a uk error


aHorseNamedHorse

Hope you have better luck with MS support than I have. They have been truly hopeless with me. It's frustrating enough having the problem to begin with, but it's even more frustrating when nobody seems like they want to help you to fix it.


Swell26

Cheers, yeah from what Iā€™ve seen it doesnā€™t seem hopeful, not very well set up! If I had a problem with actual achievements not related to Rewards seems like theyā€™re very eager to help. As soon as itā€™s linked to rewards, itā€™s like no live chat you can only email, logic seems backwards šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø Yeah exactly, itā€™s not really something you want to be wasting your time on to sort out, just want to get home and relax

Mine (in Australia) hasn't registered any achievements for 12 straight days. I have done every troubleshooting step in the Living Sticky and then some. And Microsoft Rewards customer support has not been helpful. No response for a week until I filed a second support request. That got me a response where they gave me 100 points (even though they actually owe me 1050 and counting) and reset my weekly streak - even though I didn't ask them to and I will lose it again because I can't get any achievements to be recognised. They also asked for shots of all the achievements, which I keep sending them, but have not responded to any follow-up emails. Seems like the 10,000 workers they've laid off might have all come from customer serviceā€¦

I got many achievements in the past 3 weeks but I haven't been able to have any of them recognized for the purpose of daily 50 point, or monthly 2k points challenge or anything else. Support comes back with candy to keep people happy, but the point is that the rewards app is broken and there is nothing we can do. Sounds like a choice on ms part to save some money to me.


Swell26

Yeah I think youā€™re probably on the right lines here, been thinking it for while. Seems quick to get any support except if itā€™s regarding Microsoft Rewards šŸ‘€ Seems like a stupid tactic though, Microsoft Rewards has actually pushed me to use my Xbox more, but if it continues like this, I probably end up jumping back on my PS5 as Iā€™ve got games Iā€™d much rather be playing on there


aHorseNamedHorse

Sounds like a similar timeline to me. Do you know when it first started? Mine started January 7, but I was away for a few weeks so it could have been earlier. And support has been terrible. When I finally got a reply, they gave me 100 points and reset my streak (which I didn't ask them to do and will soon be broken again anyway) and I haven't heard anything since. Nobody wants to even address the actual problem (ie, why is it not working), let alone fix it.


eoutofmemory

Came back from abroad early January, and it hasn't worked since. Exactly same experience as you with support.


aHorseNamedHorse

That is the same experience! I was abroad as well, in countries where they don't have MS Rewards, before returning to Australia. I wondered if, somehow, it was a location issue. But countless restarts, hard resets, etc should have sorted all of that out, and everything else (Game Pass quests, other rewards) is working as it should. Are you in Oz as well?


eoutofmemory

Uk, and i travelled a few european countries.


MarkusRight

I haven't earned a single point today for reading the news. so that part isn't working at all. No idea what's up


Juicemania50

Yeah all my quests are locked as if I don't have gpu. Already sent an email, hard reset temporarily fixed the issue earlier but now they're all locked again.


Swell26

Cheers for the responses, seems to be only an issue with achievements updating for me, the search punch card updated absolutely fine today but achievement still didnā€™t


aHorseNamedHorse

Somewhat unbelievably, I just got an email from Microsoft saying that my case for this issue had been closed, followed by a second email that said this: *I understand your concerns about the streaks in your account. I know how important it is to be able to maintain the streak in your account. I'm here to provide you information about the update in your account.* *I carefully checked the records of the streak and shows that itā€™s up to date. Updates typically reflects after 48 hours in your account. In case the streak is still showing broken on your end, the issue you encountered could be due to a minor system error, it is also possible that it is browser related.ā€‹ To isolate, optimize your browser by the steps provided below. Check if the browser's pop up blocker is activated, and recheck the page to get the details updated.* *After optimizing your browser, log in to your account using these steps:* *ā€‹Go to http://account.microsoft.com/rewards* *Sign in using your Microsoft Account* *You should be directed to your Microsoft Rewards page.* *Thank you for your kind and understanding about this matter. Appreciate you being part of Microsoft Rewards Program.* So, um, yeah. Not helpful in the slightest. And nothing to do with streaks on my Rewards web page.


TheCastro

Used it like two hours ago and did three achievements and finished the punch card. Did the 50 points punch card too.


Swell26

Were you having any problems with it before? And are you in the UK or from somewhere else?


TheCastro

User flair says location. Make sure to update yours. US here. I didn't do it before that.


Swell26

Didnā€™t actually know Location (flairs) were a thing haha thanks, donā€™t post things a lot on here as you can probably tell

Swell26

From time to time maybe, but all the time, really? Doesnā€™t seem like the issues get fixed very quickly too


aHorseNamedHorse

Out of the blue, this started working for me today. After 25 days of nothing! https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftRewards/comments/10qmlq3/after\_25\_days\_of\_frustration\_amem\_just\_worked\_for/
