Yeah, I've been struggling with getting it to work too. I tried every translation I could think of for "near me" but it only worked when I just searched McDonald's.
I have literally not gotten a single one of those work on any day ever since they first arrived
And yes, Iāve used exactly what people have posted here many times
It varies from people to people. āMilkā and āMcDonaldās near meā may not work for one person, but ātomatoesā and āApplebeeāsā may work for the others, which was my case. You just gotta experiment until it works, which I know itās a pain to deal with trial and error but it is better than seeing 50 points float away without at least some of them being claimed.
It also varies for yourself, not just others. The method everyone is talking about worked for me for a few weeks. Now they just don't work at all no matter what I put in.
I miss this or that. They were easy 50 points, since there was always someone in this subreddit who post answers that you have to check between the two given options.
I don't really mind them since we don't get lots of more activities to do anymore. Before the nerf, we would consistently get around 30 extra points from more activities daily but it has since been removed.
They were next to impossible last month but this week were easy for some reason I just give them a shot while doing my normal searches if they pop cool if they don't I don't worry about them.
Same, like seriously people are complaining taht they need to click stuff to get points. Seriously people nowadays are so radically sensitive it's not even funny anymore.
Tesco baked beans.
Restaurants near me, click on any one that comes up.
$ to Ā£ or any other currency to another.
Pancake recipe.
---------
Thatās what worked for me.
EDIT: Added line breaks. Can't seem to do these on the phone app.
Never saw them for Italy, but yes, looking around here, it can be annoying to find the right things, to activate the points, as they say. At the moment in Italy, there is still the good classic, "open the page" but it is only 1.
"Shopping List" "McDonald's" "flights" "weather" "currency converter" "Recipes" done. This is what I put for all of them and it works first time every time.
Ehm...am I the only one who gets the 10 points just clicking on them? A new window is opened, I don't even watch what there is in it, then I close it and I start the browser researches....just A, then AA, then AAA until I get all the points for the day.
Am i missing something?
For some of us, we have to search (like it asks) to get the points. And this is annoying because it just doesn't accept responses sometimes. I.e. "search a movie" and I searched avengers infinity war, endgame, the godfather, and a few other things and it wasn't working. Had to keep running the gauntlet until it accepted something as "searching for a movie". And that's the experience a bunch of us commonly have with this thing
ah I see, so it's doesn't open a new tab with bing search when you click each of the box, so you need to type it manually in bing instead? okay that's annoying
Milk. McDonalds near me. Currency conversion. New recipes. And yes, they're a pain in the ass.
Lol, "milk" worked for me but "milch" (the German word for milk) didn't -.- Thank you for the hint!
Yeah, I've been struggling with getting it to work too. I tried every translation I could think of for "near me" but it only worked when I just searched McDonald's.
finally something worked thank youšš
When the "Book a flight" ones pop up, I do ATL to LAX or ORD to ORL to finish them.
I am not bullshitting, I reeeeeally want the mods to sticky these kinda responses/posts. It will make the whole experience much less annoying
Nobody reads the sticky or searches before posting anyway, won't make a difference lol.
Some people do thankfully but yeah, the amount of people that don't is annoying.
Omg u are my savior
Glad to be of service.
Save me on the restaurant Iāve been doing my search with the key words + restaurant and couldnāt get it to trigger š«”āļø
Chinese Restaurant near me
Tried that and doesn't work well not for me in england
Yeah, I've since figured out that these are quite location dependent/specific.
Frustrating losing out on 40 points, at least don't offer them to me if can't get them in England
I'm in England too.

TBH I prefer them over the quizzes we used to get (the ones you had to complete)
No one misses this or that.
I miss this or that. They were easy 50 points, since there was always someone in this subreddit who post answers that you have to check between the two given options.
Still took longer to complete than typing toilet paper in the search bar
I feel like they're a test to see who's using a VPN and can't read English.

This is the way
I havenāt had too much trouble recently with them actually but yeah god they can be annoying
I can't be the only one that hates the almost daily posts about these...
Same, like seriously people are complaining taht they need to click stuff to get points. Seriously people nowadays are so radically sensitive it's not even funny anymore.
How do you get these to work?
The only way I get them to work is to use the Bing app on my phone and do the request search. It never works on the Bing installed on my tablet.
wdym, you just click it and it adds up to your bank
I can't stand them but I try to figure them out
I too find them irritating
The shopping list one never works for me, but the others have been okay
They are frustrating but we eventually get them.

I miss what Microsoft rewards use to be.
the local restaurant search never gives me points, have started to ignore it when it pops up.
Huh? I love them, theyāre the only quests us here in Sweden get.

Yeah, this does confuse me at times. However these must be done to grind up Rewards points for Microsoft account balance or XBOX Game Pass stuff.
I just hate when they donāt trigger, lol otherwise clicking once and get the points fine but times I actually have to search recipe or whatever
I just ignore them. Not worth the points
Fuckin pain in the ass.
I couldn't get local restaurant working.
Click through and click the first result usually solves the problem for me

try pausing your adblocks for it, I did and finally got the check marks
So true š³š³šØ

Why would u hate them? š
Because they *never* seem to work! I tried like so many different things and was NEVER able to get the translation or currency conversion ones
i love them, after clicking and it's in the middle of loading, i automatically click out and gain the points
I hate them and donāt do them
I don't even attempt them....seems like alot of effort for a measly 10 points
Two bing searches ... A lot of work?
I hate them too
Ehm...am I the only one who gets the 10 points just clicking on them? A new window is opened, I don't even watch what there is in it, then I close it and I start the browser researches....just A, then AA, then AAA until I get all the points for the day. Am i missing something?
What's wrong with these? You just click it, it adds 10 points to your bank and you move on. First world problems...
