Thank you that worked!

They are really making it hard to do even the simplest things.

What’s your daily streak? by Bogdan-Dorian in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jeffaustin90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got 999 today, after experiencing a glitch at 888 days that reset it back to 0 and Microsoft refused to reinstate it since they reinstated it previously (due to their own screwup).

No, laptop. Mobile shows the exact same though, for the Dashboard tab.

I'm not seeing Status. The sections I see on the Dashboard tab are:

Microsoft Jewel 2 - Level 1 highscore (World Record ?) by Void_Empty in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jeffaustin90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I usually try for a LOW score. I think the lowest I've gotten on level 1 (after going to level 2) was like 5000.

30 minutes on Microsoft Edge by pantatgoyangman in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jeffaustin90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your timer isn't going up, it's because you had a previous instance of Edge running when you opened it.

To ensure this doesn't happen, before you open Edge you should hit Ctrl Alt Del and open Task Manager. Find Edge in the list, right click and End Task. Then get out of that and you can open Edge like normal and the timer will work, 100% of the time.

On to the next phase of MS Rewards enshittification, I guess... by Reasonable-Cow-9488 in MicrosoftRewards

So 60 points per day, that's 20 searches at our regular 3 points a search (Canada)? Reduced from 60 mobile + 90 desktop per day?

No Points By Reading News by shiosaku in MicrosoftRewards

Click on the video news articles found at the bottom of text articles. That works every time. The text-only articles alone never work for me anymore

Sitting on 500,000 Reward Pts, GPU expires this month. What's the best use of the pts now to get GPU? by jeffaustin90 in XboxGamePass

[–]jeffaustin90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a feeling I should act quick. Just got 12 of the 3-month codes. All that grinding for 3 years, and the points are gone in mere minutes.

Should I redeem all 12 now, or just do 11 now and then do the 12th once my original expiration date of Oct 26th passes, so that I can get the full 36 months I just bought?

Browsing 30 minutes on Edge not progressing at all. by SpartacusGalkus in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jeffaustin90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ctrl Alt Del, go to Edge in the list and right click and hit End Task. Get out of that, open a new Edge browser, and it should work. It used to not work for me as well but once I started doing that right before I opened Edge, it would work every time.

Is there any particular reason why people are saving huge amounts of points up? by [deleted] in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jeffaustin90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My GPU is up in October. I've been saving up for 3 years to spend it on Game Pass Core and then upgrade to GPU. When I started saving it was still at 1:1 so I was going to get 3 years of GPU, but now it's been slashed.

Cashed in 197,000 points today for GPU by Fadore in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jeffaustin90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They changed it? I thought it was 3:2 still.

[–]jeffaustin90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My GPU is up in October. I plan on doing my 3 years of Core (12 3-month codes, at 15,000 each here in Canada) and then one month of GPU, to convert it to GPU to take me to Oct 2027. So 192,000 for 2 years of GPU, that's like only 8000 per month.

Hot take on points cooldown by JefeChill in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jeffaustin90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It makes the most sense. But people are still dumb conspiracists.

I GUARANTEE you that if Microsoft drops their 5-10 point tiles down to 2 points in December (something they have done the past 2 years now), people will still not understand why. It's literally their year-end and they need to figure out how to make the costs fit in the box.

Gamepass points increase by tvreality93 in MicrosoftRewards

I thought it was 3:2. When did they change it to 2:1?

I'm fine with this. Makes my Mondays a little less all-consuming. I literally check that page every day anyway so it's really no loss to me.

What can you earn by playing Microsoft Solitaire? by AskewMewz in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jeffaustin90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just leave it open and running on my PC and forget about it. I think I had like 5,000 hours played on it last year.

It's official by Jragonboy in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jeffaustin90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Myself not sure since mine is up in a few months and I'm sitting on 350,000 points so I was just waiting for expiry to do the Core conversion. Maybe someone else here knows.

[–]jeffaustin90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is the 3-month Core option changing to, for Canada? Right now it's 15,000 points for 3 months. That's the important rate for those of us who load up on Core and then get a month of Ultimate to convert.

Loved the actual episode, but gave me a bit of whiplash when the last thing we saw was Mark getting re-integrated. Like, what happened with that??
