Microsoft guts Microsoft Rewards points, and its fans are outraged

[Kent Sharkey]

PC World[^]:

Microsoft has quietly reduced the amount of Microsoft Rewards points users can earn, enraging users who have used the points to offset some of Microsoft’s more expensive services, like Game Pass.

Using Microsoft products is its own reward

Apologies if anyone hurt themselves over that one

I use Microsoft rewards and once in a long while will receive an Amazon Gift Card, which I then use for purchases. It's Microsoft's program, and like frequent traveler programs, is wholly owned by the program owner, so expect changes.
