Have the phone search bonuses stopped now? I am back down to 60 points.

Yep, the double bonus was for November.

Just a heads up. The "download a game" from the mobile app seems borked at the moment. Luckily we've got all month for them to sort it.... Hopefully.

Wow completed those reward quests quite easily and quickly this month cheers king tones, saved me some research time!

did the game pass human fall flat dumpster achievement/quest plus the daily and weekly quests too.

lots of points

 

[Lurking Lawyer]

Arse. I've already got the relatively easy Subnautica ones. It'll be a lot of time and gameplay to get those points. Mind you - it's a brilliant game so it's not exactly a hardship to have to go back to it.

Accidentally broke my streak of around 230 days by forgetting to do my daily set yesterday.

Damn, how annoying. I did the same yesterday, but my streak was only 64 days.

People on Reddit have claimed they got their streaks back by contacting MS support.

I've lost mine a few times, never been that fussed to be honest.

Not that bothered, but it was nice getting 150 points extra every 7 or 9 days.
I was hoping to hit a full year and see what happens.
Almost lost my streak Saturday as one of the items I that days set didn’t register properly, and I just so happened to pop back later at night and notice it.

As I've stated before, the longer streaks are a false economy...it really is - I doubt there's any big bonuses waiting for anyone, may as well accept defeat and just stick to doing them with whatever fits your lifestyle best.

I still can't download a game using the app. Any ideas?

Sign out and back in then check settings for your home/default console.

Signed out and back in again and still the same. Settings on default console seem to be on for downloads.

I potter around on my MacBook weekday mornings before work, so it’s something to do before I head off.
Weekends I normally have it on all day, flicking around YouTube and popping on here, so it’s not like I have to go out of my way to do each days set and the 90 points worth of searches.
Only takes up 5 minutes of my day and I could end up with enough credit towards a game or something.

I've been over this before, the issue is the streaks - the risk/reward is unbalanced, essentially the bonus is 15 points per day regardless of the streak length, so if you get to day 7 of the 7 day streak and for some reason you don't complete the streak you lose out on those points.

What I do is a 3 day streak then drop the smallest points (usually 10) on the 4th day and start the streak again.

Anyone Purchased Halfords Gift Cards with their Points ?
I am very tempted in splashing out all my Points on a £50 card to get my 3 year old her first peddle bike for Xmas.

Assume you just get emailed a code ?
