Microsoft Rewards Account Still Suspended Despite Multiple Support Tickets and Resolution Emails

Title: Microsoft Rewards Still Suspended Even After Support Said the Issue Was Resolved

Hi,

I'm looking for some advice because I've been trying to resolve this issue since October 31, 2026.

My Microsoft account works perfectly fine, and I can access all my other Microsoft services. However, my Microsoft Rewards account is still showing as suspended.

I've contacted Rewards Support multiple times and received several replies saying that my issue has been resolved. Unfortunately, nothing has changed, and my Rewards dashboard still shows the suspension.

I've also noticed that my points were deducted and a League of Legends gift card was purchased unexpectedly around the time this started.

I've already submitted several support requests, but I keep receiving the same responses without an actual solution.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a way to request a proper manual review from the Microsoft Rewards enforcement team?

I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Hi Vinh Winchfort,

I understand how frustrating it must be to receive confirmation that the issue was resolved while the Rewards dashboard still shows the account as suspended.

Since your other Microsoft services remain accessible, this appears to be specific to Microsoft Rewards. Please note that this is a user-to-user forum, so community members and moderators cannot access your Rewards account, review the suspension decision, or reopen a support case.

I recommend replying to the most recent Rewards Support email and asking them to clarify whether “resolved” means the suspension was actually removed or only that the support ticket was closed. Include a current screenshot of the suspension notice and ask whether the existing case can be reopened for further review.

If you cannot reply to that email, submit one consolidated request through Microsoft Rewards Support and reference your previous case numbers. If you did not authorize the League of Legends gift-card redemption, mention that clearly and ask Support to review the redemption together with the suspension.

Please avoid posting case numbers, account details, or order information publicly. Thank you so much for your understanding.

    Secure the Microsoft account first because the unexpected points redemption may indicate unauthorized access, then reply to one existing Rewards ticket with the order evidence and an explicit request to review both the suspension and unauthorized redemption.

    1. Secure the account immediately

    Microsoft recommends completing these actions in this order when compromise is suspected:

    1. On every device used with the account, open Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Scan options → Full scan → Scan now.
    2. After the scan finishes, change the Microsoft account password to a new, unique password.
    3. Review connected accounts, forwarding rules, automatic replies, and other account settings for unauthorized changes. ^1^
    4. Do not share the password, verification codes, or recovery codes in a support ticket.

    A working Microsoft account does not rule out prior unauthorized access; the unexplained Rewards redemption should be treated separately from the Rewards suspension.

    2. Document the League of Legends redemption

    Sign in to Microsoft Rewards with the affected account, then go to:

    Redeem → Order history → locate the League of Legends gift card → check Status

    Record:

    • Order number
    • Redemption date and time
    • Points deducted
    • Order status
    • Destination email, if displayed
    • Whether a confirmation email was received

    The Resend option on the Order History page can send another confirmation to the account’s primary email address. ^2^

    Save screenshots of the order and current suspension notice. Do not publish them because they may contain account or redemption information.

    Rewards orders are ordinarily final and cannot be cancelled or refunded, except for defective products, legal requirements, or unavailable rewards. Nevertheless, report this one specifically as unauthorized, rather than requesting an ordinary cancellation. ^3^

    3. Continue one existing case instead of opening more tickets

    Since several support requests have already produced “resolved” replies, reply to the most recent case email—or the case containing the clearest history—and request clarification and manual review. Microsoft Q&A cannot access Rewards enforcement records or reinstate an account; Microsoft Rewards Support is the published review channel. ^4^

    Use wording such as:

    Case [case number] was marked resolved, but the Microsoft Rewards dashboard still shows that the account is suspended as of [date and time, including time zone].

    Rewards Order History also shows a League of Legends gift-card redemption that I did not authorize: [order number, date, points deducted, status]. I have secured the Microsoft account and changed its password.

    Please confirm separately:

    1. Whether the Rewards suspension was removed, upheld, or remains under review.
    2. Whether the unauthorized redemption and suspension are linked.
    3. Whether the account can receive a manual review and what verification is required.

    Please keep this request attached to the existing case rather than closing it as resolved while the suspension remains visible.

    Avoid opening additional duplicate requests while that case can still receive replies; published Q&A guidance recommends following up with the existing case number because duplicate submissions can delay review. ^5^

    If replies to the old case are rejected or the case cannot be reopened, use the official Microsoft Rewards Support form and reference every previous case number in one consolidated submission. Sign in with the affected Rewards account.

    4. Include relevant account facts without guessing at the cause

    State whether the account used:

    • A VPN, proxy, emulator, bot, or macro
    • More than one Rewards account
    • Rewards in multiple countries
    • Redemption outside the country where points were earned
    • A mobile/landline or VoIP number

    Microsoft lists those account, location, and automation conditions among activities that can result in lost earning/redemption access, suspension, or invalidated points. ^6^

    Do not assume any of these caused this suspension. Only Rewards Support can determine the account-specific outcome, and there is no documented public route directly to a separate Rewards “enforcement team.”
