Bing redeemed itself via a redemption ?

I mentioned kind of giving up on Bing:

Well after about 2 weeks of very little usage of Bing the stragety worked !   I was finally able to donate my points to charities:

One thing is that I switched my VPN from a server in D.C. to a server in CA - maybe that helped ?

Tomorrow I will see if Bing is limiting me as far as earning points.  Hopefully earning points without having to wait 30 minutes between sessions is now in effect.  I would like to be able to use points to extend my Windows 10 computers for another year of security updated.

But maybe I'll just continue slacking off on Bing, as I said before it's probably easier to just send money to the charities than slaving away for Bing points (which are worth 1/10 of a cent for each point?).

Update 2025-08-27: seems like I'm still being limited by Bing :(
