Sometimes things start early. Especially when the words "on or about" are used.

not over a week early, and especially not with microsoft contests and promotions.

 

[Baconbitz]

So does this promotion still work?

[LiquidMetal14]

Would it be too much to ask for 100 PTS from someone who gets one? I'm shy of a game by that much. Don't go out of your way but if you have it in you please PM.

From the FAQ:

Q. When should I expect to see my final Microsoft Points email?
A. You should receive your final Microsoft Points email with coupon code(s) on/about 9/19/2008.

So maybe today (looks doubtful), maybe not.

You should receive your final Microsoft Points email with coupon code(s) in approximately 7-10 business days. You were required to opt-in during first registration and provide a valid email address in order to receive these emails and we are unable to update an email address after registration.

[Danthrax]

"No. Forgetting we owe you money Microsoft Points takes 7-10 business days... hopefully.

Love, Microsoft."

 

[Firestorm]

Moreso on weekends and holidays.

 

[MIMIC]

They have to figure out a way to take care of the e-shipping and e-handling.

 

[Grecco]

[kurahadol]

That's one more email than me, I haven't heard anything since my last car design submission. I want to get Duke 3d, please give me these points :/

 

[The Faceless Master]

and they still have some stuff to send too

 

[M3wThr33]

They 0'd out my points and never responded to my emails. Of course, I had my stuff shipped back to my old address, so if I got it, my old roommate has yet to send it to me.

We are sorry but no prize order information from June or July of 2007 was found for this Windows Live ID account. If you received an email from the Live Search Club asking you to update your shipping address related to a prize you ordered in June or July of 2007, please ensure that you are using the correct Windows Live ID account information.

[Wurm]

What the hell is going on with this. Where are my free points, Microsoft?

 

[MIMIC]

OK, this is some bullshit. How much manpower does it take to send automated EMAILS?

 

[Firestorm]

A CAG emailed and got this response:

There has been an unexpected delay with issuing the point codes. You will receive an email with a coupon code(s) for accumulated points through July 18, 2008 (less the 100 Points received at registration) that you can deposit into your Microsoft Points account. You should receive your final Microsoft Points email with coupon code(s) in approximately 7-14 business days.

Thank you for your patience while we work to distribute the codes.
