Microsoft sells ads that appear in your Bing results pages.

More people doing searches on Bing means they can charge advertisers more for the ads they run.

By using Bing Rewards, you are making their search engine appear more popular than it really is.

We're sorry to let you know that due to an issue with your recent Bing Rewards order it has been cancelled.

WTH?

Yep, you are most likely banned.

I've gotten this a couple times when I tried to order MSP. The order would seem to go thru, but the point total wasn't deducted from bing. After a few attempts, I finally got to work and got the points emailed to me. However, I'll still got a message for the failed attempts.

Any way to get in on the bing rewards from outside USA? (IE free vpn?)

Doulbe credits!

emailed and asked why then they gave me mine back...guess they had no reason or something thank you dynamic ip address

And here we go again...ordered 100 MSP yesterday afternoon and no sign of them yet.

I received an email to join recently on the account they booted a month ago. Is that common?

Yeah worked 2nd try and points got sent under 10 mins woot.

Several of my accounts have been upgraded to 30 points per day.

I'm consistently having that problem where you order something and the points aren't deducted. Then I later get the cancellation email.

Retried the redemption five times once with no luck. Seems really picky about when it'll actually let me redeem something and when it'll just get cancelled. Been doing that for over a week now, and it's getting frustrating.

Would explain why only one account worked for me today.

Also, got the 100 MSP I ordered yesterday

Dayummm Bing wiped out all 5 of my accounts.

I have a query for the nut gallery. Thanks to a bad update I just got through wiping my computer clean and reinstalling everything(thanks alot Win7 SP1!).

Anyhow before this when I used Firefox and I was able to sign into hotmail and then go to bing to earn my points without actually signing in on Bing itself as long as I had the Adblock plus ad-on temporary disabled. It would list my bing points number but wouldn't have a name above it and I could earn all my points. Now after the reinstall I can no longer do that. I can still earn points but have to sign in on bing itself to do so.

I'm just wondering if Bing changed something in the past two days while I was down or if I didn't reset something up right in my firefox options. Any ideas?

Once you reach 200 points (and do the other random things) is the bonus 50 points instant?

My work PC works the same way you describe, so I think I can safely say that nothing has changed in the past couple of days.

Do you us ccleaner? Make sure you exempt all the cookies for MSN, Bing, Microsoft, Hotmail, Outlook. Just a thought.
