Yes - no AA here today either. I wonder if they ceased redemptions again until they go back thru and eliminate the multi-redemption ones? Either that or just holding everything out to the longer period now. Still missing the remaining ones from the last two weeks as well as new ones that were still redeemed before the most recent terms change in December.

Although not the Live Search Club: the SearchPerks (different program) has double tickets for searching Jan 21-Jan 23. Not much, but still nice.

Since it's been well over a month now since my last redemption has posted (Dec. 11 for a Nov. 17 redemption), I guess I'm not going to play at LSC anymore. It's just too bad things started screwing up just when I became very active because of the botched Delta promotion. I'm out a total of 37,500 miles if none of them post, which seems to be the case -- all but two redemptions are from before mid-December. Oh, well -- at least I got enough for a FC ticket to Japan if I want to use the miles that way. That makes it worth the time I spent.

While doing a puzzle over the weekend, I got their monthly survey. In the part where they asked me to rank the most important feature, I listed "other." It then gave me a box to explain what I'd like to see, so I suggested adding higher mileage levels.

Perhaps if enough people asked for that, they'd at least consider it. They could keep their "one prize per household" limit under that scheme, but also give us some incentive to keep playing for awhile longer.

FYI, unless you've written a script, I find that Live Search sucks too much for me to lose Google, especially for searching at work when speed/accuracy is paramount. Not worth the miles.

I use Live Search on Internet Explorer and Google on Firefox. I mostly use Firefox, IE only for 25 searches a day...

I just did my 25 searches for the day - found out that from Jan 21 - 23 you get double points (50 points max per day). Cool.

At any time in this programs history has there been a mile redemption worth more than 2500 ?

I sadly got to this far to late and have only been able to cash in for 4100 miles total.

Do I bother playing Chictionary any more? Or do I go on for another month and a half and get an XBoX 360 or something?

Question Non-mileage award redemption

Hi,

While all of my prizes have been AAdvantage mile redemptions, I did redeem one non mileage award (shhh...) the 1 Gig USB Zip drive back on 11-12-08, but I've never received it. I only have the confirmation that is emailed moments after you click on the REDEEM button. An email to LSC customer service yields the standard "we'll check into it" response.

Has anybody had any luck on non-mileage redemptions?


Steve

Sure

I've pending Backpack (submitted 12/1), gaming mouse and a coffeemaker. Just received my T-Shirt shipped to me one month ago.

The problem with delivery is that (at least with recent T-Shirt) they've switched from UPS Ground to the cheapest USPS. They're shipping from KY, and it took USPS one month (though, including Christmas and New Year) to deliver the staff to me in CA.

So, don't worry about. You'll get your shipping confirmation email once it will be shipped, and since then you can wait some weeks until it will be delivered. I've already received full collection of Zune staff, a lot of T-Shirts, and it works with LSC!

To the best of my recollection, the answer is no.

Exactly right. What you see is what we get and have always gotten...

A 25k award for 40k tickets would be nice.

I got the survey a couple days ago and did the same thing, hope they listen!

Update: All US redemptions 31 Dec - 3 Jan have posted, one of each mileage award, total of 4100 miles. Nothing on the 23-29 Dec ones on a different account, no answer from LSC customer service.

The emails have been showing the 60-75 day period for two days now, same as the screen you get after redeeming an award.

Was ready to give up on LSC when I didn't get any AA or Delta posting since last Friday. Figured it's either that I was out of luck due to the single redemption policy or that it was the new 60-75 days delay. Anyway, surprised that I Got a 1X2500 posting today (shows a posting date of 1/22) for Delta for 12-20 redemption. It's my second 2500 redemption from Delta since the explicit "only one mileage redemption of any kind per account" showed up when redeeming miles so I guess they weren't really serious about it! LOL!

DL 12/31 just posted

Just had 1x2500 post to DL from a 12/31 redemption. This is not the first 2500 award in that account, but the first one since the restriction rule was posted. We have several 2500 AA awards from 12/30 still pending.

Our family scrambled to earn and redeem awards before January 1, on the theory that any restrictions might not kick in until the new year, regardless of when the notice went up.

Still lots of questions:
-What's the effective date of the restrictions?
-Will awards earned before the restrictions went into effect count towards your limit?
-Will they/can they really enforce the "one per household" restriction?

It will be interesting to see what plays out over the next few weeks. I hope everyone will share their redemption results.
