Lifetime Gold = my lifetime or lifetime of AA? Through various activities of the last decade (joined a year ago this month), I'm getting closer . . .

K2, if you go by the "highest from sea level" standard.

Still no DELTA miles

Still no DELTA miles posted dating back to July 7, got all of the confirmations as scheduled. It seems as if AA miles are posting with regularity now, but not DELTA.

So I wonder if the root problem for punctual mile postings actually is with certain airlines and not so much the totally inept LSC prize dept, or maybe a combination of both.

Have any DELTA people had any postings lately?

Tomorrow could theoretically be a DL posting day.

I agree www.anagramssolved.com works fantastic for chicktionary. Avg time spent per game was 2-3 minutes, I had reduced chicktionary window size and just typed as fast as I could, 1000 points today in about 2 hours.

I actually knew that -- K2.

As to lifetime Gold, I considered that possibility, but since I've only flown AA maybe two times, and since it may turn out to be the major airline that goes under, I didn't assign it much importance. I'm just going for Business class to Europe or Asia now. I'll be close in a few weeks.

This is for an award that I redeemed on 7/11, one of two that day. I received emails at the time for both, and must have already received the miles for it, unless they skipped over it, because I've received more miles than I would have from that time.

Whoops, just got five more, including the other 7/11 award, one that I never received a confirmation email for at the time, and two with numbers I don't have any previous confirmations for. Very strange.

I got two of these, no more than 30 minutes before I wrote this email, both for miles that I got yesterday. *sigh* Unless, of course, they are going to give me the miles twice!

You know, I don't mind waiting for the miles, but these inaccurate emails drive me crazy!

Jaelle

I checked the numbers, and it seems they are confirming the miles that I received yesterday. So everything is on track for me as far as redemptions.

Tend to agree about Matt Lauer--I can do a 10 ticket round in about 1 minute.

ok, I redeemed for 2500 AA. got 2 emails, the standard live search club "order status" one (19 days) and the one from AirIncentives with {LP} and 72 hours.
/START Geek moment
it would be lame, but I am guessing it could be a programming error in the automatic e-mail response.. "LP" would be a variable that holds the Airline Program name and there is a bug in the program, so it doesn't correctly gets the name of the FF program.... and of course also the confirmation number.
/END geek moment
good thing we at least still get the usual "order status" mails from live search club with confirmation #s.

I (unfortunately) also ran out of Chicktionary puzzles today. When I run out of Spelling Bee and Cross Wire, I'm probably out . . .

Do you mind if I ask how many points you were able to accumulate before running out of chicktionary puzzles? Matt Lauer is really easy and quick too.
thanks

Chicktionary was around 23,000 and Matt Lauer was around 1,300 (really).

I haven't run out of Crosswire or Spelling Bee yet but might have to look for one or more new games that agree with me OR stop playing - some games just take too long or are too buggy.
