Before I start this post I want to give credit to @R0KL0bStEr who convinced me to start posting my personal experience with MW3 ELiTE online...please bare with me:)
This is what I posted on the MW3 forums...:
Fellow COD gamers,
Please read my personal experience and frustrations that I experienced with Elite and which I'm sure more of you have felt as well.
On march 10th 2012 I won second place inthe 100K day King Of The Hill event, with an ATV as reward. Since then almost 4 months ago, I have been chasing Activision and to this day the promised prize has not been delivered. The following is said clearly in the code of conduct/official rules (link below):
https://elite.callofduty.com/compete/operations/view/949
Within fourteen (14) days of the conclusion of the Contest, Sponsor shall endeavor to notify potential winners by email to the email address supplied. Potential winners may be subject to verification of the Entrant’s eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules and Sponsor may require potential winners to provide proof of identity, proof of age and proof of residency.
This is something that did not happen, I was finally contacted on March 29th and from that point I have sent a total of 46 emails and counting with still no prize in my possession. I will spare you the full details in these emails because they are long and repetitive. I will share with all of you however that COD Elite has broken so many promises and that for me the fun and credibility has been taken out of this paid service entirely.
I have won other prizes in the past and I know for a fact that many others where unsatisfied with the delivery times and lack of communication. I remember one person in the past even demanded ELiTE delivered a prommised prize which they did not want to do in the first place (I think this was a backpack or something). What I don’t understand that for this event the third place winner won a prize that was worth more in total then the first and second places winners put together. I am happy for the third place winner don’t get me wrong, but I am unhappy with the lack of logic that Elite put in dividing the prizes.
I think it is shameful that a company such as Activision can allow such promises to be made and be unfulfilled. I hope that all of the people who read this will get a good understanding of how Elite has lost all its credibility by not delivering on its promises and the way they treat their winners. I want people to know what’s going on because I’m sure others are feeling frustrated as well.
How do you feel about the way ELiTE treats their winners, and what would you do in this type of situation?

First off, it sounds like they got in touch with you within 14 business days (10th to the 29th) or close enough, so they're not in the wrong there.
Now since then it's been almost three months with no prize. Can you share some of these e-mails with us? Have they given any reason why the prize hasn't been delivered?
