Everyone, there is nothing to worry about. We've determined that MSN is still honoring the activated cards AND we've determined that if you get an unactivated card, Best Buy will exchange or refund it. Not sure what the remaining issue could be?
My problem is with a card I bought from Best Buy's website, not one from 6605stang. He actually ran out to his local Best Buy to get the cards, so there will be no issue with those.
Thanks PSUnick.
Well, thats it for now. I'm out. I'll see about going to buy some more tomorrow. I'll let everyone know if I get more.
Cheers, JR
Anyone else have their subscription go inactive? All my MSN Icons are greyed out and under the status page, it says that the subscription is 'inactive'. I went and checked and right now the MSN Direct website is down. Anyone else having issues with MSN Direct?
Anyone want any more of these? I won't go get anymore if there isn't any demand. But there is, I could shoot down there after work today. It's a nice day, I could go for a drive.
Ok peoples. Locked and reloaded. Got 15 more today. Left 2 behind for anyone that was looking. And that, as far as I know is IT.
On that note, if it's not too big of a deal, I'd like to bump my price on them by just a few bucks. Say $140 even? $4 more each? This just kind of turned into a bit of a undertaking and I thought it would be reasonable to ask for a few dollars each for my time/gas, etc. If that's not cool, let me know. Not doing it for big profit or anything, just a couple bucks for my troubles and making avaiable something that appears to be gone most everywhere.
Anyway, to reiterate... if you need one, please post first so I can see your post count (there have been a lot of Googlers asking about them). Then email me, or just send $140 over to [email protected]. Then I'll email you a photo or scanned image of the a scratched off card. Once you activate and tell me that it worked, I'll destroy the card. Done deal.
Alright then, tally is back up to 15 and counting. Cheers, JR
Judging by the outside-of-AVIC411 responses (and curses) I'm getting, I should clarify something... I'm doing this as a favor at the near-cost price for ACTIVE AVIC411 Members. If you PM me and you have 1 post, expect to pay more than cost, IF I decide to sell you one at all. I have 30 days to save these and slowly dole them out to any ACTIVE AVIC411 members that may want one. After about 3 weeks if I have any left, I'll be taking the rest back to Best Buy where I'm sure they will not go back on the shelf. If during that time I decide to sell more to the public, I will, however it will not be at the near cost price ACTIVE AVIC411 members enjoy. If you are not an active member, you can ask for one at the cost I see fit for a non-member, or you can run the risk of not getting one at all.
Sorry you had to see this 411ers, but If I sell these at cost to the whole world they'd be gone by now, so I'm charging extra for public inquiries. If you are on 411 and your post count looks like you've been around awhile, just let me know and I'll be happy to get you going for very near cost (Card + Paypal fees + a tiny bit for gas and my time). 
I should have known this would happen...
Just activated my own personal card. Worked like a charm.
For more information on the recent truncated "lifetime" subscription of MSN Direct and cards you may have purchased from myself, please see here;

Apologies for the lack of replies. Swamped with work and only managed to get my card earlier today.
Bought it for $129.95 out-the-door at BestBuy and it was pre-activated. Registered/activated the Z110BT via the MSN Direct web site and 15 minutes later all was well.
Immediately called the MSN Direct customer support line and was refunded $129.12 via check (ETA ~6weeks).
Please let me know if anyone wants/needs any cards. No profiteering here - $129.95 + actual shipping.
For everyone trying to get a hold of a lifetime subscription for $129.99 you may want to take a look at this:

It seems MSN direct will only be available until Jan 1, 2012. A little simple calculation and you will realize that it is only available for another 2 years and 2x1 years subscription ($49.95) is $99.90. Why would you want to pay $129.99 when its cheaper to get the yearly subscriptions?

MSN is refunding nearly all of your subscription fee for lifetime membership and still giving you free access until its shutdown, so it doesnt really matter what you pay for it. Now, chances are good that they will NOT be so generous if you just continue to pay for the yearly fees.
Why would you buy a life time worth of MSN when they will be stopping their service in 2012?
Again, read the threads. In the end, were not paying anything for it.

Did you really ask the same question is 2 different threads without even reading them? Nice.
Thats a noob for ya.
