Bing rewards bug

@paintedbird
Hi, a forum post is not a bug report, maybe a user should report this.
The Vivaldi team can decide if this is a bug or because of the Vivaldi business model.
@Veddu has got it working, it seems.Cheers, mib

Can confirm this issue on both desktop and mobile searches. I am using Vivaldi on both my phone and my laptop, both of which does not earn reward points.

Hi, a bug report was filed:
VB-104227
Unable to earn Bing points after searching using Vivaldi BrowserThe developer discuss it at moment, one mentioned to disable the ad blocker on the Bing page to get rewards.
I guess he meant the Vivaldi ad blocker but I am not sure, can you test this?Cheers, mib

Do we have any update on this? It doesn't work on any of my devices (Mac, Windows, android and iOS) but all other browsers work. Have tried with chrome, edge, Firefox, and safari.
On Vivaldi, it works temporarily when purging the cache, but it stops working after a while.

@Veddu No dev assigned, no progress.

I have had issues also and reported them. MS won’t respond as I think it is in the Rewards where the issue resides. It was designed to be an Edge add-on, then a browser add-on.
If I use Vivaldi all seems OK.
If I use the Bing Rewards search(?) it can become messy although I have never gotten the message @Veddu received. -
I have a hardtime believing that this issue is related to bing. I have tried every other major browser on all different OS:es and it works for all except for Vivaldi regardless of OS, with and without adblocker enabled.
The funny thing is that if I use Bing without being signed in on Vivaldi I see the rewards getting counted for each search. But as soon as I sign in that is when it stops working.

@Veddu
Just got my email today regarding my points (they seem to be getting harder & harder to get).
All done with Vivaldi Snaphot versions and logged into my MS account. :puzzled
Do you use the Bing Rewards extension. I am using that when I am trying for points then disable it.
-
I’m not using the extension. Might give it a try, see if that works better.
I’ve heard that too the rewards are harder to get, but doesn't make sense to me that on Vivaldi I get no rewards but then when I instantly search for the same thing in another browser I get points.
-
Alright I have been testing out the extension for a while now and so far it is working good and i’m getting the reward points now when searching.

@Veddu Hello,
I think I have the same issue than you. I was wondering if the extesion still works for you ?
In myse case it seems that rewards point from searches are attibuted only for some time after I delete cookies and site data on bing.com
After some time it stops working again and the extesion never seem to make a difference for me.Best,
-
Never had any issues with the reward extension. I have also enabled 3rd party cookies on bing.
