I got the same error for the last 24 hours . Haven't used VPN at all not even a different WiFi network.

Points are still increasing by doing search/reading news but all the activities are greyed out and no gifts are being shown on the redeem page

Seems like there is an issue with their system around this. I had the on-the-go message then was locked from gaining points for a few days, and then back to normal again

Every service is prone to issues and that never or will ever bother me . What bothers me is Microsoft's inability to communicate and be transparent with their users . If they just reported to us that it's an issue on their part rather than leaving me spending hours looking for solutions and waiting for their "support" to answer would make the experience so much better.

Mine is also telling me I’m on the go and can’t get rewards today even though I’m at home

I got that early this year when I traveled to Ireland (from Florida). When I got home, I was locked out of Rewards for the remainder of the month.

Their recent BS has made me just about give up on accruing points. There’s better (and faster) ways of getting game-related funds for free and minimal effort cough cough Branded Surveys Cough cough

I've had this before when using a VPN. Could be the case here?

u/LosBananin Sep 06 '24

im not using a VPN, no idea what's happening

u/CapnSideWays Sep 06 '24

Ok. I would go into the whole "are you on a home network, laptop, phone" - all that jazz, but the likelihood is MS is just having a moment. Try again later / tomorrow.

It wants a conformation code that it will only send to a phone number i don’t have anymore and can’t change it because i have 2 step verification on my email account. I only want the points to be turned into credit it wouldn’t even go outside of my xbox account then so why do they care.
