Hi! I claimed 5 sweepstakes tickets from a QR code promotion from microsoft when I downloaded the MS app, but I only recently learned that Philippines isn't one of the included regions, can I ask whether the promotion to claim the tickets was a mistake? why would it roll out here if we can't participate anyways and what will become of the tickets I claimed?

    Hi,

    Which app did you use to claim the tickets? If you were able to claim them without any issues, it’s likely that the feature has been rolled out globally in the app interface, but the actual eligibility is restricted to specific countries or regions. This means users everywhere may see the promotion, but only those in supported locations can truly qualify or participate. That said, your tickets likely won’t be eligible since the promotion is limited to certain countries.

    Philippines is listed as one of the countries/regions where Microsoft Rewards is available, so participation in Microsoft Rewards itself (including earning and redeeming points) is supported in that region.

    However, Microsoft Rewards offers and redemption catalogs vary by region. That means:

    1. Not every sweepstakes or promotion is available in every supported country.
    2. Seeing a promotion (for example via QR code or the Microsoft app) does not always guarantee that a specific sweepstakes is valid for all regions where Rewards exists; each sweepstakes has its own terms and eligible regions.

    From the available information:

    • Philippines is explicitly included in the list of Microsoft Rewards regions.
    • The documentation does not state that all sweepstakes are globally valid, only that Rewards availability and catalogs differ by region.

    What this implies for the claimed tickets:

    • The tickets being claimable in the app means they were successfully added to the Microsoft Rewards account.
    • Whether those specific tickets are actually entered into a given sweepstakes depends on that sweepstakes’ own regional eligibility rules, which are not detailed in the provided documentation.

    Next steps:

    1. Confirm that Microsoft Rewards is active on the account and set to Philippines as the region.
    2. Review the sweepstakes’ terms and conditions (usually linked from the sweepstakes entry page) to see the list of eligible countries.
    3. If the sweepstakes terms are unclear or appear to exclude Philippines even though tickets were granted, contact Microsoft Rewards Support via the Rewards Support page referenced in the FAQs to ask how those tickets are being handled for the account.
