A program that grants points for using Bing search, which users can redeem for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, or charitable donations.
Hi,
I understand how frustrating it is when the Verify location button is greyed out, especially when you’re trying to redeem your reward.
Based on your screenshot, this usually happens when the system is unable to properly detect or confirm your location, even if permissions are already enabled.
Also, please note that for Microsoft Rewards, points used to redeem rewards must be earned from the same location/region. If your points were accumulated while connected to a different region, the system may prevent verification.
If you are on the same region:
- Make sure Location services are turned ON in your device settings and allowed for your browser
- Try using a different browser like Microsoft Edge or Chrome
- Open an InPrivate/Incognito window and sign in again
- Turn off any VPN or proxy, as these can interfere with location verification
- Try switching to a different internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data).
After doing these, refresh the page and check if the button becomes clickable.
If the issue persists, it may be a temporary sync or regional check delay, and trying again after some time usually helps.
I’ll be here for your update and ready to help until this is resolved. If you find the answer helpful, please feel free to rate the thread. Otherwise, leave a comment below if there's anything else I can help you with.
