Got 12,993 in the UK which is enough to keep GPU ticking over each month but it does feel tougher now with all the big point nerds.

We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
10 534 points this month. The nerfs really hurt me. I was doing around 15K before. And I'm pretty dilligent doing things available to me everyday. Still, that means I can get 50 days of GPU for about every 45 days of doing points. I'm ''breaking even'' so to speak.
19,733 monthly total, factoring in the final console weekly bonus and some points from a $13 purchase (Signalis :D). I stopped grabbing the achievement daily once I hit the total needed for the 1000 pt monthly and news articles weren't registering last night.
17k will keep the Game Pass lights on at least with a little bit in the pocket for the odd store redemption.

Was about to write the same thing.. I will try again later.
EDIT:
Stolen from Reddit.
CLick the poll and change the number in the URL to 20240430
It will load up yesterdays poll and give you today's points.
I tried the Bing app when my desktop didn't work and got the same issue, normally that does work though when the desktop is playing up
Damn dude I would definitely cash out before they ban your account. Also do it in increments or they'll probably lock your account for withdrawing too much at once lol
Considering they only let you take out $500/year I agree with the others that you should probably start moving some of that out of there.
When they changed the rewards program, did they remove the feature where you could auto redeem for GPU every month for fewer points than manually redeeming? Or is it a bug that I didn't get a redemption code this month?
Auto-redeem still exists, in the new rewards part of your profile on xbox and maybe elsewhere. Sometimes people report it not working for them.
Redeeming 3 months of Game Pass Core for 15,000 points currently gives you 50 days of Game Pass Ultimate (for current Ultimate subscribers) at a rate of 300 points per day, versus auto-redeeming a month for 10,500 which is 350 points per day.
I found it and it says I'm on auto-redeem, but I didn't get a code, which has happened before. I guess I'll log a bug.
I thought my GPU Auto Redeem had failed to go through but the email arrived a few minutes ago. Better later than never.
So .. in couple weeks I will be moving to another country and I know the points that I have now will be useless in another region ( no issue I will start again from zero ) .. the thing is .. how long it takes after updating the address in awards account until the account work again .. tried with support and nothing from them
Redeem what you have now and pray it still works after you move, contacting support is almost always useless if they respond at all they will just give you the usual bullshit answers and tell you to read the service agreement and don't use VPNs and so on. If you are really unlucky you will be stuck with the "on the go" error message for a while or unable to redeem anything especially if you don't get rid of the points you earned in another country.

I have a question for iOS users
Is there any way to stop Bing searches conducted on Safari from opening up the Bing app?
It never used to do that but now it does, and the Bing app is shit as it opens each new search in it's own tab which means you're forever closing tabs while searching, all while the app starts to chug (or it does on my old ass phone anyway)
So ideally, is there a way to do Bing searches from Safari without it forcing the Bing app open, or alternatively, is there a way to stop the Bing app from opening every new search in it's own tab?

Just type in 'quote of the day' and click until you get 60 points.
I don't think that works anymore, using those kind of links stops at 15 for me, but it gives me points for other searches
I'll try that tomorrow anyway to see if it works
I have the former, like when searching movie casts, but the quote of the day search still works, likely because they send you there as a point reward several times a week.
wanted to double check as much the ifood card was for my last cashout and just cant find it anymore? did they just remove it straight up? any other brazilian rewards user can check that too?
Hmm. I think the maximum I could achieve per day doing everything is 273.
Edit: with 4 weekly console bonus + 273 x 30 it equals to 9290 / 30 = 309 points per day.

My automatic point redemption for the month, game pass ultimate, did not pop like usual. Is there a way to manually do it and still get the auto redeem discount?
The support answered and they informed me to update my address with correct information.. I take it they mean after moving to new address .. they didn't remove the restriction so I can redeem my balance points before leaving .. but alas.. my mind is in peace and I know I lost the 82k points lol .. no issue . will start from zero after 2 weeks and lets hope everything works fine
iOS doesn't give you that level of granularity in settings. For once, Copilot is correct.
I like Microsoft Jewel. I have no idea why this is a thing for points, but it's fun for 5 minutes!
Hard restart the console. Mine were taking hours, now I restart the console in the morning and it takes less than 15 mins
It's usually playing another game that "play a console game" finally registers for me, after the first game I play for 15 minutes. Finicky as hell, per usual, since the beginning, really.
Cool, that did the trick, thanks
Well thing is, I thought I had it figured out for weeks now, never needed to bother witu starting a new game, but then all of a sudden it stopped working altogether
Anyways, I got it figured out now thankfully
I got a pop-up saying my streak protection days have expired for the year, though I never enabled it or had it available for me to enable in the first place. I know that it is for people to enable before going on a 2 week overseas holiday, not something to have on all the time as it reduces every day it's enabled. That's not the issue.
If it's available to you, it's above the daily set on the right side, above "sneak peek at tomorrow's set". If you have it, only enable it if you think you will break your streak in the next few days, not as something to have on normally as you can only have it on for 14 days a year. It goes down regardless of if you do the daily set or not.
I've never had it though.
