And yes, this has happend before, and it took almost a month for everything to be back to the usual predictable schedule. I really hope they are just revamping the site and going to post a lot of new prizes in time for XMas. Hopefully one of those is the miles back.
Did all of your miles eventually post even if they were out of schedule? Or did you ever have some fall through and never to be seen again?

Saw those votes before but unfortunately I did not pay much attention to it. Is there a "miles" prize among those votes? Hopefully someone voted for it and we will get the miles option back.

Oh I hope they will appear....I just put in earlier today for 2500 miles. Still playing the game though in hopes for bigger and better.

Miles not available at 9:00 pm central. If I remember right on the voting it was to 'add' a prize. Nothing about removing/replacing.

They have disappeared in the past but usually did come back within a few days. Although normally I remember them totally disappearing and not just saying not available. I wonder if they 'buy' a certain amount of miles at a time from the company and until they 'pay' again they are unavailable.

i did notice they are running a promotion called Searchperks. Earning up to 25 points a day. It lists the ability to get airline miles as well. hope that doesnt mean they are moving the prize to that promotion only.

The vote was between a digital picture frame and a soy candle...

I believe some posted, and some were refunded last time. As long as the miles come back, a refund would only be an annoying delay. If they don't come back, a refund would be awful.

This seems to be holding true with AA Tuesday. It seems orders as of 10/31 are not posting on time. Miles from the 30th just posted. Hope they work out the glitch soon.

Same here. Only miles up to 10/30 posted.

AA Tue, 11/18 for (what should have been) 10/27 to 11/2.

From multiple trusted data sources:

Confirmed AA redemptions for 10/27 and 10/29 have posted (no trusted data for 10/30-11/2).

Confirmed other airline redemptions for 10/30 have posted.

Presumed account refund and re-deposit for 10/31 redemptions.

No other airline postings, or account refunds, for any redemptions from on-or-after 11/1.

All mileage, hardware and software prizes have been removed from the LSC site (I don't consider Net Ball Game a hardware prize...).

Presumed this will all be sorted out by end-of-month, presume perhaps even today/tomorrow. It's a long thread, yet weren't mileage prizes only down for a day or two, then those (and new prizes) were up again? We're generating our own drama, who needs LSC's help.

This really appears to be the last-of-the-year, pre-holiday, change-the-program-and-add-prizes week. Anyone else notice the new home page, with the "Welcome Back" sign. It used to be just your saved games, then there was the voting page (which reloaded to your saved games), and now "Welcome Back". Presumed this is just the last massive pre-holiday end-of-year change-control.

AA redemptions for 10/30 for myself and DH posted today.

Did not redeem again until 11/5, so can't speak for redemptions on 10/31 or 11/1. But, 10/30 definitely posted.

10/31+11/1 AA miles haven't been posted, no refund, but still possible to see the redemption @ my stats.

Hopefully they will but a bigger mileage prize back..like 8300 tickets for 5000 miles

I think it's quite possible that they will be devalued if they come back. I hope I'm wrong, but the more recent prizes added had a much worse value.

Again, I'd like to point out that we worry far too much about this silly web app. It's so flakey anyway. Things may change, things may not. I'm more of the opinion somebody broke something again and it's never a priority to fix things ASAP.

Don't know if anyone else noticed (didn't see this mentioned) but it also looks like the daily reset is off again. Appears the 0000 UTC / 1700 MST reset didn't happen last night. I just maxed out 1000 tickets, but have only played for 100 tickets this morning, and I did 900 yesterday morning.

Counter did reset for me.

But I agree that I don't see any point in speculating, unless of course you're keen on spreading rumors. Whatever comes, comes, it's not like we could influence it in either way.
