Yes, and not only that, I turned off auto-redeem after making a purchase on 7/30/2023 but I'm still being auto-redeemed. So now instead of having $6.27 in credits that won't expire along with 23,000 points, I'm down to 5500 points and $26.27 in credits, with $10 expiring 10/30 and another $10 expiring 12/1.

And yes, it's turned off...if I click through on the dashboard, I've got a button to "Sign up." So someone screwed up with the new dashboard or something.

Hello, Gannon123456.

Thanks for reaching out to our Microsoft Community Forum. Please accept our warmest regards and sincerest hope that all is well.



I understand your concerned about the changes in the Microsoft Rewards program. Microsoft is constantly evaluating and adjusting the rewards program to ensure that it remains fair and sustainable for all users. The changes in the rewards program are based on various factors, including user feedback, program performance, and market trends.

While the monthly punch card has been removed, there are still many other ways to earn rewards points, such as completing daily sets, participating in quizzes, and purchasing items from the Microsoft Store.

Now I understand that these changes might not be to your liking and that change can be difficult. So, I suggest you provide your experience as feedback using the link below.
