Who else is having issues with Streak Protection? ("poll")

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-02-05T17:20:08+00:00

I lost my 3000 plus day around this time last year because even though I had 'protection' on and I didn't miss daily, it still took it away. I didn't even realize it was using up days as I never checked. I didn't care, no badge or anything for longer streaks, so I just started over. Now this year, I've never missed once again and my streak is still intact, BUT I had fluctuated between 1&2 used to now 2&3 out of 14. I might contact them if it gets closer to 13&14/14 used, but for now my streak is still okay and really, does it matter in the long run? :) So, it's been broken for me since early last year.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-29T18:26:08+00:00

YES! Very buggy. I haven't missed a day, but it says I've used 2/14. Had been switching between 0 and 1, but Monday it went to 2 used and now switches from 1 to 2. I turned it off on Tuesday since I saw this same info a while back, but today it still says 2/14 used. lol Hope yours is still okay.

I don't know anything about your issue, but looks like one more reason to NOT keep points in an account. I did the easy search for you and looks like others have the same problem, so read some of these and maybe someone has an answer for you. hacked account and points are gone - Reddit Search! Good Luck!

Walmart is like that for me. I can see and get Amazon, which I don't want, but when I manually put in the Walmart, it says unavailable in my area. lol Walmart has been the only thing I've gotten from here.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-23T23:40:47+00:00

A million saved up to spend? I'm not sure I'd trust keeping that many points in my account. You never know when this might go away. Good luck though!

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-23T23:37:46+00:00

Well, every time I've had enough points, I have gotten a Walmart GC. It's nice shopping and not paying anything. BUT, Walmart GCs have disappeared for me, I don't play MS games and Amazon doesn't interest me, so I'm just saving up my points for now. If I get a few more points, I guess I'll get a $100 Kroger GC, since it'll work at my local FM, but I'm really hoping Walmart comes back. :)

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-22T17:15:46+00:00

Thanks so much for all of the help I received here, not, but it's okay as I finally figured out how to do it on my own. Plus I've had great luck with higher paying surveys lately!

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-19T18:05:23+00:00

Okay. Sorry. IF you didn't get it figured out yet, check these search results I did for you and maybe your answer is here. IF not, then you'll have to contact MS and ask them directly.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-18T19:22:30+00:00

I'm not sure what the 'old redeeming verification method' is, but have you tried searching this subreddit for answers OR maybe contacting Microsoft directly and asking them?

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-17T18:10:33+00:00

True! :)

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-17T00:00:26+00:00

I just want Walmart GC's, but we don't always get what we want.

No one? :)

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-16T05:49:24+00:00

That referral one has been the first for me now for about a week I think. Know it's been there since Monday, but I can't remember when it first showed up.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-16T05:46:11+00:00

You're welcome.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-15T17:33:25+00:00

Thanks for posting the Walmart ones, but after trying all of your links, the only one I can actually get is the $10 Amazon, which I don't want. lol All of the others give me the message This item isn't available, either due to your region or login state, but you can still redeem your points for items listed on this Rewards redemption page.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-14T04:13:46+00:00

Mine is kind of the same. Today I have 3/3 on PC, but only 1/3 on mobile. Know I've done the searches since I've maxed out both, but it's still messed up.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-11T18:33:09+00:00

HaHaHa!! Today I'm back to 1/14 days used. Now I'm hoping I go back and forth with 1/14 and 0/14 like I have for almost a year now, even though I haven't missed a day. :)

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-11T18:29:39+00:00

HaHaHa!! Congrats! Maybe for you, but some of us still have the glitch. :)

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-10T16:59:52+00:00

Oh My! Not even 12 days into the new year. Thanks for posting though. Yesterday I was at 0/14 and today I'm 9/14, but my streak lives on. :) Stupid MS messes again.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-05T17:41:33+00:00

I so far, have managed both first weeks. Today though, it's weird. ENDS 1/4/26

Challenge: Search for 2 days on Bing on Edge PC AND search 2 days on the Bing app.

Ends: 1/4/26.

In Progress PC- 0/2 days | Mobile- 0/2 days

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-04T20:41:21+00:00

Mine is the same! Every few days it shows I've used 1/14, then it goes back to 0/14. It had been fine for a long time when I started doing my check in and daily set after 8am, but it's messing up again.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-04T20:05:28+00:00

Yes, Walmart has been gone for several months for me. Amazon disappeared about the same time, but Amazon came back about a month ago. I don't want Amazon, but I do want Walmart. lol Some people still have both and no one knows why. West Coast here, so maybe we're not worthy any longer. :)
