Ooh, bad news. I just was declined for turning in another 4300 tickets for 2500 miles. Said that they were out of frequent flyer miles awards temporarily and to check back in 1-2 days.

This was the first time that I tried to redeem when the indicator was still reading "Achieved" and had not yet switched to "Redeem Now". I've been getting faster in my speed, getting down from every 7 days to 6 days now (I keep having "life" intrude on my time ). I've finally got a good head start on the next, and looking at enough free time to maybe even squeeze it down to the minimum 4 days to earn enough for yet another award.

In the past, when I was within a few hundred of crossing the threshold, it re-labeled it in anticipation. Last time it didn't right away, so I let the 7pm Eastern (midnight GMT) pass, and it switched then. This time it didn't do that.

The lesser mileage awards are still reading they are redeemable, so the stall appears to just be the largest one.

I hope they aren't really running out, and just want to check my playing pace to be sure I don't have a "bot". I'm getting better, but it still takes me a few hours a day.
