For those on Firefox, definitely add the (free) User Agent Switcher:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59
From the Tools menu in FF you can select what browser FF displays itself as to other sites. Whenever I get a message saying only IE is supported for a site, I just select the IE option in the menu and continue on my way. I've never had it not work. ^

Please let us know what they say. I tried to redeem yesterday and received the same "we're sorry we cannot process your request".

It does that for me from time to time - sometimes I just have to wait a while (like an hour or three), sometimes if I do a Google search for it I can find a link that will work, and sometimes clicking on the link in message #1 is the charm. Just a minute ago it redirected me to MSN so I tried the OP's link and it worked.
Pretty frustrating.....

Still not able to redeem for miles. I sent a message to the help desk. Microsoft then sent me an auto-reply email, which gave a list of FAQ's and said that if you did not see the answer, reply to the email they sent, which I did. I encourage everyone to email them.

a little digging reveals a few common issues with the site:
- it's been around at least a year and a half, and many people have claimed to receive their prizes
- the site was taken offline for a while, and brought back in nov 2007
- ff miles were first added with the recent relaunch
- historical complaints usually focus on msn's aggressive but arbitrary approach to what it deems cheaters. while ostensibly designed to prevent bots from automatically accruing tickets, the system catches many legitimate users. making matters worse, alleged cheaters are not alerted until after they try to redeem tickets; many are not alerted at all. msn provides no feedback, explanation, or recourse for users deemed 'cheaters.'
- i was not able to find any references online to the problems reported in this topic ('we cannot process your request').

What we think they do now to prevent botting is basically look at the amount of time it takes you to solve a puzzle. If you're faster than what MS has put in place, then they flag your account and you're SOL.
If you're account gets flagged, then you're done. No prizes will be sent, no emails will be returned, etc. It is, however, legitimate. Many people have received prizes. Of course, many honest players have been flagged as well.

All very interesting. I guess at this point I will just wait n see. I had not tried any of the suggestions on using anagram dictionaries etc, and was playing the old fashioned way. Yesterday, I could not sign in at all from home. I was successful in signing in at work today, but I can't play from here, so I will try my desktop at home instead of my laptop. I have no idea, and maybe it was just something going on yesterday. I have redeemed for US points, and now have another 900+ pts, so I will keep slogging away with the hopes of actually getting something in return. My account is still active, so...

I'm testing the waters. I put in an order for the Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 Headset. I got a confirmation number for the order and the confirmation screen tells me that: Rewards will be delivered within approximately 12 weeks from the date redemption request is fully processed, unless otherwise stated

Live Search Club Error
Folks,
I work for AirIncentives that is powering the Live Search Club mileage redemptions. The Airline Redemptions are temporarily down. They should be back up in a day or two. I will post again once they are live.
I apologize for the inconvenience and confusion.

Wow, thanks for stopping in with that info. I can't wait for them to re-appear. Any information about average processing time we should expect? Since they're a new option, I'm sure we're all dying to know.

As a word to the wise...most people that use anagram solvers will be weeded out as cheaters...

Thanks for being candid Airborn Flyer. Can you specify where in Microsoft's Terms and Conditions that it specifies that using an anagram solver is against the rules?
