I just noticed that iTunes is no longer an option under redemptions. When did that drop out? Bummer, I was considering that as my next reward. tls

Oh man, that s#cks. I just redeemed for that on Friday. Not sure what I'll get now. Amazon and Starbucks I guess. tls

Hmm, I just noticed that the e-gift card for Dominos is no longer there, altho one for Papa John's is. I hadn't noticed that before. tls

Thank you for contacting Bing Rewards customer support regarding the Airline miles reward.

Well, the program just took a major hit. Amazon and Starbucks went from 475 to 775 points to get a $5 gift card (and Burger King too, altho I've never redeemed that one). This stinks. tls

Not for Me
I don't see what you're talking about. The redemption amounts still look the same to me.

(I went ahead and did my redemption anyway - no point in taking chances!)
But where are you seeing this change?

Well, I just double checked on my laptop, in both Chrome and Safari, and it still says 775 required (and it won't let me redeem my 500+ points for Amazon). But oddly, on my phone it says only 475 are required. I suppose I should check IE, but hopefully I can redeem through my phone. tls

Well, my phone now also says 775 credits required. Am I the only one? I contacted them through their web site and asked why I'm being singled out. We'll see what they say. tls

I contacted them. Response is below in itals. Apparently I'm some sort of guinea pig, but rest assured, it's being used to "improve" the overall member experience. Some improvement.

We constantly make changes to the program which may include changing the number of credits that can be used to redeem a reward. As a part of our testing and learning, credit requirements may sometimes be different to other users. This helps us improve our overall program and the member experience.
We apologize again for any disappointment our recent changes may have caused. Thank you for being a loyal Bing Rewards member and be sure to frequently check your dashboard to take advantage of offers to earn additional credits.
Thank you for your kind understanding.
