FWIW and in case it tells anyone something they don't already know:

My third 2,500 redemption just posted, the other two being before the one-in-a-lifetime rule appeared.
It appeared on the airline FF acccount (AAdvantage) as "air incentives."
I ordered it 5-9-2009 and it posted to the AAdvantage account 7-5-2009.
On 7-8-2009 I got an email saying the following, again in case it tells anyone anything useful:

"Dear [zeppox],

Thank you for using Club Bing. Your American Airlines AAdvantage® miles have been successfully deposited to your account.

Confirmation Number: ######
Miles to be Deposited: 2500

Your American Airlines AAdvantage® account balance has been updated to reflect this redemption.

Thank you again for using Club Bing.

Sincerely,
Club Bing Team

Air Incentives is fulfilling your order on behalf of Microsoft®."

I just received a "Posting Complete" email from Club Bing for the AA redemption I wrote about here 8 days ago. They're a little slow.

If I read this correctly, this is your first since the rule change...correct? Has anyone else had success getting multiple AA miles since the "once in a lifetime" rule change.

Question When will miles post?

I have 10,000 miles outstanding....not posted into my AA account....with clubbing/live search club. One dates back to May 17th....2 months ago. 5,000 were with live search and 5,00o with clubbing. Is it taking longer to post miles to an account? Anyone else encounter this? Thanks~

Not sure if you're following the new rules. You're now only allowed one 2500 miles award per account. Not sure you'll get all 10k miles unless you do it under 4 different MSN accounts to 4 different FF accounts.

Actually, you can earn up to 4100 miles - one award each for 2500 miles, 1000 miles, 500 miles and 100 miles.

I thought that was always the case but not enforced So in a lifetime 1 FF account can only get 1 2500 miles award? That's really a bummer!

Bigger bummer: Prizes are limited to one of each prize per household, not per FF account. So theoretically each household is limited to one each of the 2,500, 1,000, 500, and 100 mile awards.

The rule was put into place around the beginning of this year. Some people have reported success in receiving multiple awards despite the change. Others, including our family, have had the request rejected and the points redeposited.

I'll have to report back when and if I get my mileage credit. At least you got your points redeposited

is US Mileage worth it?

I always fly United, but since UA is not in the Bing! list of prizes, I am thinking I'll go with a Star Alliance partner - US Airways - I could get 20 points every 3 minutes or less if I really want to -- but is it worth it?

I mean, I've heard that you can only redeem 2,500 miles once -- is that true? or can i keep playing and earn 4,300 points everyday (for 2,500 miles) and do it for 10 days and redeem it for 25,000 miles?

What do you guys think?

You can only earn a maximum of 1,000 tickets per day.
