Every other game would take a full 8 hour work day or more

Other thing I've noticed. None of the prizes I've ordered since April (early April) have even been delivered (or indication of being shipped) yet.... so who knows if they're even giving you your prizes any more.
I ordered the flash drive on April 5th and that came in 4 weeks. I'm still waiting for some May prizes to come, though.

This really sucks! Obviously that golden goose has been slain.
Also MCF Prime Suspects, Hidden Expedition Titanic, Search Queries, Star Shuffle, and Enlivement are gone. They still show up on my points summary but are in a lighter shade of blue and not clickable.

True... but, clearly non of us have redeemed anything on 'clubbing' yet? All redemptions so far were on 'club live'. Doubtful we'll get anywhere with this, but, I might sacrifice 4300 tickets for the 2500 cause...

this Bing is a wrong thing.

I cannot type fast on Word Slugger- after every two words there is a captcha. I've tried it on FF and IE as well- same issue.

If they want me to spend 4 hours on slow typing- I think they lose one more player.

Any idea to fix it?

If you haven't maxed it out yet, switch to Spelling Bee. Captchas don't show up near as fast there. The captchas on Word Slugger and chicktionary are f'n annoying. I guess the Chicktionary captchas are for the "hunt and peck" type.

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. Tip your waitress.

I have a hunch it's not just 'amount of time' between words now...

Bet it has something to do with typing the words ordered by size and then alphabetically...

I was litterally waiting 5 seconds between words, and still the stupid captcha's popped up on Word Slugger.

FinsUp is correct, Spelling bee doesn't seem to have this 'enhancement' yet.

Since the point for MS is to get search engine hits, why would they care to lose a player?

Heck, they should be thankful for the bot players.

Has anyone tried redeeming more than one 2,500 mile award since the new T&C resricted awards to one per household?

According to the confirmation email it takes now 60-75 days, so you may have to wait a little longer.

How about other prizes? My wife ordered a few Zune Accessories back around April 17th or so, and nothing has arrived, no indications of delivery, no shipping notices... nothing, zip zero, nada.

We've stopped playing the games altogether now for the fact it doesn't look like they'll honor the prizes.

I just received the Barefoot Contessa cookbook yesterday (6/16) which I ordered on 5/7. I too have stopped playing. There isn't much more that I want from that prize list.

I just received my Bliss Tried & Blue Travel Kit (ordered 5/16), but none of my airline miles have posted (ordered between 5/6 and 5/18). I guess I'll wait another month before contacting customer service...
