Microsoft Rewards New member Punch Card, Search and earn won't work

Some punch cards are hit and miss, some don't work. I remember there was a 500 point "change your defualt search on mobile to bing" and it never would acknowledge I had done so...it eventually worked but I can't remember what I did.

It would be best to check this with the dedicated department by filling this form => New support request (microsoft.com).

Please clarify if you are referring to the gamerscore, or bing/Microsoft rewards points.

gamerscore is earned by unlocking achievments in games, and can not be redeemed for anything, it is purely a representational figure

bing/Microsoft rewards points are earned by searching on bing, doing quizes, completing punch cards, etc and can be redeemed for a range of things: https://account.microsoft.com/rewards/

Or if your a Bing Rewards member you can earn a $5 xbox currency card by completing searches and earning credits.

Yeah, it kinda sucks, but that's how it is. The rewards punch cards are to get people to try games they might not have otherwise. It's a promotion between Microsoft and the company for whos game it is. The same situation applies on purchasing games
vs pre-ordering. If you pre-order and a punch card comes out, it's ineligible to earn that punch card. Sucks because I do love earning the points but I realize that it's to incite those that wouldn't otherwise buy the product, and not reward those that are
already on board.
