I had filled out the XP bar on my max level and received a Bright Engram as well as an Etched Engram. I returned to the Traveler to turn them in and was able to turn in the Etched Engram but my Bright Engram simply disappeared, as if I ever earned on. I gave it about 15 minutes thinking it bugged out but the game simply didn't give me the Engram at all. If I could get help that'd be great. Cheers.
For leveling up you receive one Eververse engram. Every season Bungie changes the engram description. Bright engrams were from the previous season. The current season awards Etched Engrams.
So it is impossible for you to be receiving a Bright Engram in the current season.
