Good to see you back mate. I was actually thinking how you'd be going and feeling with the points revamp, but good to see you around and still putting out the content for us.
My mobile searches haven’t been working at all for like the last 2 months. If this keeps up I’ll have to pay for game pass next month 😢 thanks Chicken. You’re the best dude
For me it's 4 searches work every 15 mins, but even then it's one search every 7 seconds, so basically I have 2 cooldowns. Lots of 15 min timers, lol. I already used all of the things you recommended, but they are great suggestions for anybody not doing them, thanks for the video!
Thanks CP. I'll count myself lucky. I only have to wait a few seconds between searches on either the Bing app or on my browser. I've never seen the cool down message. Hopefully it stays that way.
In the uk it’s 90 and 60 totals and only 3 points per search. So far I rarely do genuine searches I always just type in a series of random letters or numbers and it works for me.
You are getting 5 points per mobile search… here in Canada we only get 3 points. I have another tip, if one searches tv shows that have MULTIPLE seasons… do a search for each episodes name - repeat the search but add “cast”, “guest stars” or “quote(s)” on the end… it works well - basically give 4 searches for 1 episode!
This cool down thing is painful. Ruins my whole night to get searches done. Can't even enjoy gaming lol. I've complained to Microsoft rewards. They say we're sorry your having problems collecting rewards points. Send us a screenshot where the points aren't working blag blag blag, clear your browser, ect. Like they don't know what they're doing with the cool down! Sheesh!
I've had this pretty much from the beginning. Super annoying! I'm able to do 4 searches every 15 minutes and I've found that as long as I don't just do the 4 searches as quickly as possible I typically get credit for all 4. If I do them too quickly sometimes I won't get credit for all of them. This goes for both desktop and mobile but it seems to be a little worse on mobile. I usually do trending on mobile as well. Man I really hope they revert this change. I'm tempted to just stop with the searches but it's hard to give up on 250 points per day. Besides I kind of feel like if I do they win lmao
I use a combo of trending searches and suggested searches. if you start to type characters in the search menu suggestions will show up in the drop down. I just click on those, rinse and repeat. Takes a little more time than it used to, but still pretty quick.
Thanks CP ( you do get a lot more reward points than us here in the UK)…..I just type in a letter from the keyboard (q, qq, w,ww etc) on both mobile and for desktop I just use the iPad….get 3 points each time for every character
Interesting. I tried this morning here in the US. Single letters aren't working and the 15 minute cooldown appears to still be in place. So it sounds like they're still making changes and have some inconsistent behaviors for the search.
Amazing guide. Sad part it is, what took 5 minutes, now take 3 hours 13 minutes. Weekly game quest gone so that sucks more, as i don't get to watch a video from this channel each week.
Well jokes on them. They keep losing game pass subscribers, and still being shut out of the Asia market. Microsoft really needs to work on their people skills.
It was implemented in Canada for a while but it appears they've taken it away. On another note - on my account I've been getting these weird freezes on rewards stating I can only earn points in a single country. After a day or 2 it unlocks again but I'm not quite sure why that keeps happening.
It happened again today - says "Oops! Looks like you are on the go. Microsoft Rewards offers are available in one country/region day." I did a support request and they weren't very helpful and I definitely didn't leave the country. Very odd.
Interesting. Have not had that message yet or any noticeable “cool down” time. When starting each day I get that same delayed count for first 3 searches but then it goes as usual without delay or cooldown. I’m in Canada though so only 3pts per search and maybe the cooldown hasn’t rolled out here yet.
I typically type in a sequence of numbers. For example 1111, search, delete one of the digits, so 111, search, delete to 11, search, delete to 1, search and there are your four for that 15 minutes.
I'm surprised that's working for you honestly. I feel like I've heard from a lot of people who have previously been typing in random strings of letters haven't been receiving points for that. 😊🏅
I do this every morning on my laptop type 1 have cursor on the bing search bar press the left button type another 1 press enter continue process. So in the end it looks like 1111111111111111111111111.
I had no idea they implemented a cool down for searches... they're making the program worse with every change. I'm only getting like half the points I used to, and because of the cool down, to get points by searching I've had to completely change the way I do everything. I'm guessing that eventually you won't even be able to get points unless you have a game pass sub as more and more is going that way. Extremely disappointing. 😒
I use the edge browser on my console. It's got a points counter at the top, and I can access the daily set, and any extra point listings (puzzle, quizzes, whatever). My cooldown is 5 seconds. I know the search worked because I can see the counter go up.
My search uses the 'ribbon' at the top of the first search result. Like if you search for 'dog breeds' you get a ribbon at the top of the search results with a picture of each dog breed. Click on that. The ribbon stays, so click on the next dog. And next. Continue doing that. That way, you don't need to type. You can do other searches like 'cast of friends' and it'll have a ribbon of the actors that you can click through. I used to have the 15 minute cooldown, but that went away, but I still have the 7 second cooldown between each search, so I have to count to 7 before clicking on the next dog picture.
I've never got a timer but I'm from Mexico and for what I can ysee we get less points a day so maybe that's why who knows. But thanks for the heads up.
For me (I've accumulated near 300,000 award points for 2023) I've found that I've only received the cool down when I get to 20,000 points or higher at any given time within the last month. I recently spent my points and am at 7,000 and have not had the cooldown.
What’s weird is I had no cooldown, then got the 15 min cooldown and despaired. But I followed its terms, persevered, and still got all my points. And now I’m back to no cooldown! Well, I count to five between searches, but other than that…
I haven't seen the cool down message but I do have to wait between searches. I used to be able to middle mouse click the suggested searches at the bottom for quick easy points.
I had the 15 min cooldown for a long time but it recently went to the 7 ish seconds. Also I'm not sure if just a Canada thing or what, but my searches have only been worth 3 since I started a year and a half ago. And a max of 90 and 60 for desktop and mobile searches.
I never had slowdown. Even still able to click right through 30 search links on console without issue. However one thing I DO NOT do is search back to back using similar keywords. I use Google if want to really see details on a different color electric car.
I'm from UK I don't need to wait for a cooldown but I get less points daily than US😂 I've accumulated practically the same amount of points chickens got but I've spent them on the go over about a year and a half
How do you have 150 daily points on pc and 100 on phone? It says i have them too for reaching level 2 but i never had more than 90 for pc and 60 for mobile
I like to play a game with the searches. So I’ll pick a topic and then try to go through the alphabet lol I usually switch between, animals, fruits, geography,
My rewards breakdown between the app and pc are separated somehow. On bing app it says 0/150 pc 100/100 mobile but then on pc when I click rewards breakdown 150/150 pc 0/100 mobile... kinda weird that it's not putting them both together like
Every 2nd day, single letters seem to work as a search. q, w, e, r, t etc... Otherwise I keep my searches short, example : hat, cat, mat, rat...Frog, sheep, lamb, toad...god, dog, log, smog... Seems to work really well, and quickly. I'm in New Zealand, we don't have the cool down yet.
Yeah even after following this guide I still am not getting a single point for doing searches I have not been able to get points from searches for the past month
Hey Chicken Possible, by any chance you heard of the "Oops looks like you are on the go" error and how to fix to it? You see I bought a second hand Microsoft surface table and put my rewards account on it and now the system thinks I left the states or something. I always look forward to any of your helpful videos, Thank you so much if you see this or for any ideas to resolve the issue.
hey, ive had issue with pc for 4 months now where its always broken ive tried clearing cache and everything but it randomly works out of nowhere, would you know a fix?
I just type a long search and delete 1 letter every 5 seconds and have no issues. On phone and desktop. Used to I could do it as fast as I could delete the letter
Yeah here is the problem like you search to get 20 points maximum and after that you dont get points anymore, you need to wait at least 20 minutes to search again any idea how to fox this. And I am a mobile user by the way
do they still have watching the exercise videos, or up to three exercise videos for 10 or 20 points each as long as you watch it fully one one monitor as a points thing?
Hi guys I just wanna know why I’m having this issue when I tried to redeem my points a message pop up there is an issue with your account or your Microsoft ordered
I don’t seem to have the 15 min cooldown, I always search for the names of sports teams including city and have consistently not gotten any cooldowns at all on pc and mobile.
Do you know why I can’t get any points from the gaming tab in edge? Every time I click it says complete but if I refresh it shows has incomplete, being like this for months….😢
Yeah, it's been broken for quite a while. I recommend just clicking the Feedback link at the bottom every few days and letting them know it's still broken. I've also filed a support request form about it and supposedly they're looking into it. 😊🏅
how is the bing app letting you get 330 points?? i =ve done mine daily for ages and its always been 180/day (60app searches, 90 desktop, plus few other clickables). Im in canada maybe thats the difference? Also I only get 3 points per search
for me, if I use the being app and search, I still get all the points on pc search I do it on my iPad and I just use the Bing app and then for mobile points i use my phone on the Bing app and I still get all my points
I have this issue on the Xbox web Searches Can someone help I can do it on my phone all perfectly but the last 450 I don’t understand. It doesn’t always work.
what rewards can i get now without playing the games it is changing all the time? now some reward searches are back can you make a new video of what's changed?
I believe it’s 45 dailies. So it has to be a combination of playing Game Pass games and getting achievements. Roughly 15 achievements per month if you’re at least starting up a game once per day. 😀🏅
Are you signed in with your account? If you are, the mobile points can be a little finicky. Give it a couple of tries with 15 minute delays in between attempts. You should hopefully start racking up some points. 😊🏅
Good to see you back mate. I was actually thinking how you'd be going and feeling with the points revamp, but good to see you around and still putting out the content for us.
I never had the 15 min cooldown, but I have the 6-7 sec cooldown.
Lucky! I hope it stays that way for you! 😊🏅
i have about 5sec
Same to me
Yeah same, lucky us I guess...
yeah 5 seconds for me too..
Glad to see the channel is still going. I was pretty used to my weekly Chicken Possible check in for the weeklies.
Still going strong! Lots of achievements and Rewards points left to hunt! 😀🏅

I never had this problem until today. Why did they have to do this man. Just awful.
That's what I do, I just go through every single trending news items on the xbox bing app, and then I just do the silly quizzes.
In the uk it’s 90 and 60 totals and only 3 points per search. So far I rarely do genuine searches I always just type in a series of random letters or numbers and it works for me.
Same in canada
We did have it in the UK but not anymore. I have to say it was incredibly frustrating when the cooldown was operative 😢
My mobile searches havnt worked for ages but just saw your video and tried again using the edge app and its working again😊. Thanks for sharing
I have about a 5-10 second cool down between searches, takes a bit longer but still getting the points for now.
You are getting 5 points per mobile search… here in Canada we only get 3 points.
I have another tip, if one searches tv shows that have MULTIPLE seasons… do a search for each episodes name - repeat the search but add “cast”, “guest stars” or “quote(s)” on the end… it works well - basically give 4 searches for 1 episode!
thank you. i was so confused why my searches wouldn’t count
I've noticed that. Now I have to do it all day to get the 250 daily points.
I didn’t know bout earning points thru bing thanks for this video!
As of 3 days later on mobile I have to wait 5-7 mins per 20 points on searching

Thanks Clara! I’m still uploading a new video or 2 each week. Hopefully you might check those out! 🤞😀🏅
@@RewardsHunter No worries. I keep watching them. It's the least I could do considering.
Whaddaya think Microsoft is made of money or something!? Come on they gotta eat too! Lol

how is the bing app letting you get 330 points?? i =ve done mine daily for ages and its always been 180/day (60app searches, 90 desktop, plus few other clickables). Im in canada maybe thats the difference? Also I only get 3 points per search

il nous faut combien de succès pour la quête a 1000 points exactement ?

Is the vs messed up ?
why am i not getting any points when searching via bing in edge?
Are you signed in with your account? If you are, the mobile points can be a little finicky. Give it a couple of tries with 15 minute delays in between attempts. You should hopefully start racking up some points. 😊🏅

its 30m for me
