Devices are getting banned

[buellerbueller]

I have completely separate accounts on separate devices/IP's. Using this has gotten all of them unable to redeem rewards. I have them set to 20 mobile, 30 PC and advanced scheduling to run duration of 5h, 10 queries/hour.

Any advice on what to set this to so it prevents soft bans in the future? I would think the settings above would work fine, but nope.

First of all, what you're experiencing isn't a permanent ban, it's just a temporary restriction. This usually goes away if you stop using the bot and do manual searches and activities on those accounts for a few weeks.

If these accounts are relatively new and have zero organic activity (meaning they were created strictly for farming points), it's not surprising that they're flagged. Give the accounts a break, use them manually for a while, and the redeem option should unlock again.

As for advice, try stretching the duration to 10-12 hours to mimic a full day of normal browsing, and make sure to use the accounts manually from time to time to build an organic footprint.

Great advice, thanks.

To answer your sort of questions, though - these are accounts over 10+ years old, so they're not new at all. I've found that if I attempt a redeem and it's rejected, I don't do any activity at all for a week or two and suddenly I can redeem. I literally just let the account sit for that time but that's obviously lost points.

I'll try 10-12 hours at 5 queries an hour and see if that helps. When you say 'use them' from time to time, do you mean searches, check email, or something else?

Thanks!

Simply leaving the accounts idle for weeks isn't ideal since you lose out on points. It's much better to actively show the system that a real person is using them.

When I say "use them", I mean:

• Doing a few Bing searches (actually clicking on links, reading pages, and scrolling, not just typing random letters)
• Manually completing the Daily Tasks
• Doing activities like Explore Bing (doing polls, quizzes) and tasks like "Generate an image for 20 points".

The most important part is that you should keep doing this from time to time even after the restriction is lifted.

How often do you recommend we do these manual things? Every day? 2-3 times a week?

[safarsin]

The more, the better. But 2-3 times a week is definitely okay.

I'd just recommend doing it a little more frequently right now to get rid of the current restriction. After that, 2-3 times a week is a good baseline to maintain an organic footprint
