Just tried with your code, and it won't let me do it, says the code is still good but I've reached my limit on redemptions. I redeemed my first code yesterday around 12:30pm.

Q. How will I receive the remaining Points I have accumulated during the promotion?

A. At the end of the promotion, you will receive an email with a coupon code(s) for the total amount of points accumulated during the promotion that you can deposit into your Microsoft Points account. To deposit these Points coupons, follow the steps 3 & 4 above. Go to the Microsoft Points website http://points.microsoft.com and select ?Redeem a Microsoft Points prepaid or promotional code? link. You will be asked to sign in with your Windows Live ID.

So far I've got 300 points. So subtract 100 for yesterday's first time registration, I got 200pts for making another car and rating it. How that's worth 200pts, I have no idea.
 
So if I login and enter a new car every day I will accumulate more points? How will I redeem all of the points?
 
I make a new car today and my balance shows an increase of 150 MS points but I never got the e-mail message! 🙁

This is the same thing that I am wondering. It shows me having a balance of 200 points and 3 sweepstakes entries. But I don't have any email from them telling me how to get my 200 points. 🙁
 
So does anybody know how to get the accumulated points into the point account? The site tells me I have 300 points, but I've only gotten 100 from the initial email.
 
Important Microsoft® Points Update

Microsoft Points were made available through the MSN Autos Dream, Design, Drive Challenge while supplies lasted. As of July 18, 2008, supplies available for this promotion were depleted. If you accumulated Points through the promotion site prior to this date, you will receive an email with a coupon code(s) (less the 100 Points received at registration) to deposit in your Microsoft Points account on or about September 19, 2008. To determine your accumulated Microsoft Points promotion balance, please click on the Login tab at the top of the MSN Autos Dream, Design, Drive Challenge home page and login with your username and password. Remember, this total includes your 100 Points for registration. Please see the Official Rules for questions.

🙁
 
Strangely the 19th is the day I finally said forget it and stopped entering. I think I ended up with somewhere around 550 points. I'm happy with this as it allows me to get the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack basically for free.

I never received any email. I got one email a while ago saying I would get the email containing my promotion code to redeem my points. I haven't received anything like that though.
