It will get easier, because Flexicon repeats a lot. Although it does help to have a solid grounding in US trivia.
Since I've maxed out on Matt Lauer and Cross Wire, I've moved to Flexicon as my game of choice.
I know it's been mentioned before, but I think that the difficulty level of Flexicon has increased dramatically for me in the last month (I've earned about 19,000 tickets on this game alone.) Now, in order to "speed" through the game, you have to be knowledgeable about French and Spanish, obscure authors, etc. My current earnings pace has slipped quite a bit in the last month. It's been weeks since I cashed in a group of 4,300 tickets. I used to cash in every 5 or 6 days.

When they started throwing in French and Spanish, it slowed me for a little, but most of us have acquired most of the words they use, and as always, they repeat a lot. The Spanish is primarily numbers, which I learned in grade school, although I never tried to do arithmetic with them, and common words like "agua". I got back up to speed in a couple of days, but unfortunately, they haven't replenished the games for me in a long time.

I cannot log into LiveSearch club at all with my desktop now - I guess I have to use the laptop / Blackberry-tethered-modem combination to get points until I figure out what's wrong with Firefox and I.E.
I don't see much info in this thread about USAir - I have cashed out 3 times, 7/22, 7/28 and 8/01 but have not seen anything other than the immediate confirmation email. Do I need to contect LSC or am I just a bit anxious? Thanks for the info -
If you just redeemed on 7/22 and after you probably won't be getting them for at least another week -- and that's if you're lucky.
It's been weeks since I've seen any love from them on my Delta Skymiles. They owe me quite a bit but nothing has posted to my Skymiles account since July 4th. Booo!

No Delta miles for me either dating back to July 7....I am beyond frustrated.

I cashed in 250 tickets for US Airways shortly after the Grand Slam promo came out (early July), and these posted in two to three weeks. At least for me, US Airways does not have the posting problems that people are reporting for Delta.
I feel your pain g1230 -- I am beyond frustrated as well. I just hope they post VERY soon so I can cash in for a couple of BE tickets before the new 3-tier system goes into place in Sept.
I do have a good friend who cashes in frequently for AAdvantage and he told me at one point they must have got behind cus AAdvantage didn't post for more than a month -- so hopefully the same thing is happening with DL and they'll post pretty quick now...

AA is posting very regularly now and I'm caught up except for those I've done just in the last week. I have six redemptions on DL of 2,500 miles each that I'm waiting for dating back to mid July, though (really need for a SkyChoice F ticket).
I've read about 70 pages of the 106 pages so far and don't recall seeing the answer to this question...
I put in my first ticket redemption (just 100 miles) on 7/18. After my inital redemption does each additional redemption go faster or do they all take up to 19 days?

I think you'll find they won't be any faster, generally the same or longer depending on how MS + AirPoints feel on any given day

I earn my 1,000 points a day allowed on an account, which translates to 17,500 AA or DL miles a month (30,100 points = 17,500 miles). I've definitely expanded my vocabulary while earning FF miles. I'm not gaming the system and just redeeming for something useful to me - there are various possible prizes and Microsoft specifically places limits on the technology awards (software, keyboards, etc.) but not on frequent flyer miles.

Husband and I are also waiting for several DL redemptions in mid-July.
Have you emailed LSC yet? It might be a bit early... (prior to the latest revisions to LSC, DL miles posted within 17 calendar days) ...perhaps that has changed to business days?
I called Microsoft corporate earlier, they have never heard of LSC...SERIOUSLY! She could not transfer me because she did not have a dept. or contact for LSC in any way shape of form.
Anyway, it appears that LSC is mostly farmed out to India and Philippines, which may explain why LSC is all over the place regarding tech issues and prize redemptions.
