This is why points don't post immediately from points.com. For every redemption from Live Search Club, someone (or perhaps a program) has to confirm / check that the earning is within the limits and T&Cs of Live Search Club.

I'd be very surprised if the points did appear in any frequent flyer program, after they were redeemed in the above manner. The corporate.points.com URIs are all specific to microsoft and club live search.

I'd still have to say that miles are/were one of the best value redemptions on Club Live Search. If they weren't worth that much, then probably this site, and stories of the Pudding Guy, Cheese Wheels Runs, Mileage Runs, Mattress Runs, etc wouldn't exist.

Do let us know if anyone manages to get 1 Million Miles or 2 Million Miles in AAdvantage, though. That will get someone lifetime status.
