Screwed?
I think I got screwed too. I redeemed back in March for 1000 AAdvantage miles, and they did post, but never showed up in my Live Search Club account history. I've since redeemed on 4-11 and 4-15 for 2 2500 AAdvantage mile prizes, but the miles haven't posted yet. No sign on the redeemed rewards in my LSC account, no confirmation email.
I emailed LSC cust svs 5 days ago and haven't heard from them yet!

my buddy redeemed tickets for DVD CAMCORDER & never recieved a confirmation email. good thing he wrote down the confirmation number because he will file a class action lawsuit if they don't send it.

Is your buddy multiple people? A class action typically involves a class of people.

I have one missing from the 11th too, and a few others have been some from then too. Maybe they are mixing things up a little and not posting them all in order now? I can hope at least.
I did enough games for to get 100 miles - and these posted to AA within a few weeks.
I cant seem to get the cost/benefit analysis to come out in favour of spending my time 'playing' the games to get miles.
I just did a little test - it took me a little over 4 minutes to play a game of chictionary. This involved running a scrabble word finder, printing the results page out and then plugging in the results (remembering to insert words starting with more than just the first few letters of the alphabet and run the 'hint' feature once or twice - so as to be sure that it would not look like a bot).
At this speed it would take 14 hours to earn 2500 miles.

A few things from the last few weeks:
* There have been no new Chicktionary or Spelling Bee puzzles in the last week (or so). For a few weeks, there were 5 new puzzles every day. Now, no new puzzles.
* When redeeming for AA miles, the time between the submit and completed screen (the screen with the 3xxxxx code) used to be 3 minutes. Now, it's almost instant. Something changed.
* Everyone who had mileage post on 4/29 into AA all appeared to have received only one posting, no matter how many redemptions queued up. The rest of the postings appear queued up. Please note, noone has any idea if this is an issue of output from Club Live, or input from AA.
Thoughts?

Has anyone been able to get past the Matt Lauer puzzles 'no new games' message that you receive after earning 2000 tickets? It was a great game while it lasted.

As this game was a tie-in to promote Matt Lauer's travel segment on the Today Show last week, it may very well be the end of this puzzle.

Maybe this was only a promo to get some market recognition. If so, the jig may be up soon.
Either that, or they're having a helluva time keeping up with FT.
Was good while it lasted, though.

On 4/12 my husband cashed for 2500 miles, the miles showed up last week in his AA account. I cashed 4/13 for 2500, and so far the miles have not shown up. We both have 2500 miles pending for 4/21, 4/25 and 4/29. We received confirmation e-mails on all of them. I'm still holding out for patience.
As far as redemption history goes, out of the 4 redemptions for Mr. Balima, only 2 show up in his redemption history - although 3 have posted to his AA account. I have only one showing up in my redemption history out of the 5 I have redeemed and 2 that have actually posted to my AA account.
I did enough games for to get 100 miles - and these posted to AA within a few weeks.

Why print our the Scrabble list? Why not just open a second window and put it side by side with Chicktionary?

I believe most of us would be glad just to receive what was promised so far...

I wouldn't worry about it until there is a Yahoo accepted deal in place, then I would cash as fast you can...
Until then, just chillax. If you have had any redemptions at all that have posted, you will most likely get your next miles posted relatively soon. We have had miles post in anywhere from a few days, to over a month later, but they ALL have eventually posted, but never on a weekend, and ours have NEVER appeared in our redemption history (both MR. and Mrs cheapskate have redeemed well over 20k miles).
We, also, are waiting for mid-April posts, but AA has always been the worst for posting, so we aren't worried.
For Airmileage's buddy, I wonder if that camcorder is the only thing he ever redeemed for? Before going for a big prize I would recommend to anyone to redeem a lower cost prize to see if your account is flaged. If you receive your prize you will then have an argument if they deny the bigger prize as you have been playing the same way all along, not cheating, using bots, etc. That being said, they will probably try to deny X number of redemptions just to see who fights it and who screams the loudest. All the same I wish him the best on his class action suit, but my guess is if he's got a case, MSN will send him 2 camcorders post-haste.
