Redeemed to Alaska and USAirways May 1 - posted June 26. I had redeemed to both airlines many times in the past, so that does not seem to be an issue.

Redeemed to Delta and AA on the same day - from reading recent posts I will not expect them for a while

I made 6 redemptions for 2500 Delta Skymiles, about one a week between March and mid-April. All redemptions have been fulfilled. Redemptions took (in order) 73 days, 59 days, 57 days, 58 days, 56 days, and 69 days to post.

So my takeaways are: yes, you can redeem multiple 2500 awards from the same account and it will generally take 60 days to post, but in my experience, up to 75 days.

OK, I just received 2500 AA miles dated 06/24/09 on aa.com, presumably from the 04/28 redemption. This is less than 60 days if you go by the aa.com date, but I checked 3 days ago and it wasn't there, so it's just about 60 days. I agree with Aaron20 -- it's still on, but time-shifted quite a bit. I'll get serious about this again, I guess, and live with the delayed gratification.

Redemptions to DL to my son's and his mother's accounts from 05/04 should be showing up soon, too. I'm happy enough.

YMMV. The last attempt by one of my family members to redeem for 2500 AA miles in mid-May resulted in the following email a month later:

"Dear Club Bing Participant,

You are receiving this communication from Club Bing because you recently placed a duplicate prize order with Club Bing. As noted in our Terms and Conditions, prizes are limited to one of each prize per household. Your duplicate order for 2500 Frequent Flyer Miles has been cancelled and 4,300 tickets have been re-issued to the account from which the duplicate prize order was placed. We are sending this email to let you know that tickets have been re-issued to your account and are ready for you to redeem for another prize of your choice in our Prize Mall."

I've had no such luck on my Delta account. My past 3 redemptions dating back to 4/7 never posted. Prior to that date, I did get redemptions the previous 2 weeks from 3/21-3/31

I'm still waiting from redemptions dating back to 4/17, and still nothing. And this wasn't for a duplicate prize (or miles). Just a few Xbox 360 games a controller and that keyboard mouse thing.

I know some folks have had that 'barefoot contessa' stuff (whatever that is) delivered for redemptions in May. Anyone actually redeem for electronics that have delivered since an April order or later? Or is live/bing now in the habit of just canceling orders, confiscating the tickets, and not even informing you?

Yes, I have been getting actual items; deliveries are taking about 30 days from order to door for me. Since April, I have received the Tool Kit, Too Human, Lost Odyssey, and the 160 Gb portable hard drive.

I had 10's of thousands in tickets disappear ordering miles in Jan/Feb, so I've officially given up on miles and have just been ordering the prizes as new ones come up to clear out my account.

I'd say they've flagged your account... so make a new one, but from my experience, if you order an item from a flagged account and even though you never receive it, it still counts against your '1 item per household limit'.
My anecdote to support this is that I had an account that was bad and I ordered a Zune... never received it. I had a 2nd account that was good, I ordered the Zune and 30 or so days later, I received an email refunding the 38.5k tickets with a note saying I had already ordered 1 Zune to my household. I had some back and forth with them over email, but the end result was "sorry, you're SOL"

As another data point, received my 2,500 AA miles ordered on 5/3 on 6/29 so just under 60 days.

Unable to log out

Does anyone have the problem of no being able to log out after signing in. I couldnt sign out for awhile until I cleared all cookies. This happened after I updated the flash player. Crazy.

Anyway, I cant understand how do they enforce the 1 redemption per prize per household rule. And it doesnt seem to be consistent with everyone's report.

Has anyone had problems with inputting their address since the switch from Live to Bing? I ordered a Bliss Travel Kit from Live with no problems (and have since received it), but now Bing is saying it cannot verify my mailing address so that I can order the Habu Gaming Mouse. I sent an e-mail to Customer Support a week ago but haven't received a response, so I thought I'd see if anyone knows of a workaround.

TIA.

Sadly, I must tell you that the only thing I do understand about LSC Club, Club Bing, whatever it is called, is that there is no consistency on rules, prizes, etc. I've been reading these pages since Winter of '08, so it has been a while....

Microsoft should be ashamed of this whole program. Either get some company to administer it right, or shut it down.
