Never seen this before. Haven't cashed out Bing points in a while. Just tried to cash in some points for Amazon credit and I see this:

Microsoft Rewards account temporarily restricted
Your account is restricted at present as your recent activity is indicative of a potential breach of the Microsoft Rewards terms of service.  We strongly urge you to use search in good faith, and your rewards account will automatically be restored upon improvement. If you believe this is an error you can open up a Customer Support Request.

I don't use bots. I physically click on each search. But I will admit that I just cruise thru them every day. I guess I'll only be doing the main section for a while and see how that goes.

Anyone else seen this before and you were able to get back in the good graces of M$?

Got the same notice a couple weeks ago. Think I might have accidentally tried to redeem points while connected to my VPN. Emailed customer service but still haven't heard back.
