If you are each redeeming for your own personal FF accounts, it would be moot. If you have two accounts that always contribute miles to the same FF account, that would be more suspicious.

After playing the games randomly, I finally maxed out for the first time today - about 85 mins for the anagram games... not a bad time investment during the end of my summer... lol

ive maxed out on spelling bee, so im been playing chicktionary recently. it usually takes me about 1:15 to 1:30 to accumulate 1000 pts. and so far, i havent had any issues with redeeming miles from separate LSC accounts...or using one LSC account to redeem miles for a couple of friends.

im sure its been mentioned before, but i cant seem to find it right now. is there a cap on the # of miles you can redeem per FF account? i thought i remember someone saying 50k/yr for delta.

The only limit seems to be how many tickets you can earn. I have not heard of any limit in redeeming for miles. I can confirm AA does not have a limit, unless it's very high.

5,000 miles posted to AA, and I'm all caught up. I haven't been playing much recently, but will continue at this slower pace as long as they keep offering miles. I just wish they'd give me some more Flexicon puzzles. I will really enjoy my trip to Japan in C or F, assuming I can find a saver seat.

AA posted miles today from a 7/29 redemption.

I've slowed way down with these games...wish they'd add something new! I haven't earned nearly as much as some people, but I'm happy with my 20,000 miles.

Just Started

I just started playing these games this past Friday. Needless to say that I learned quickly that I was only allowed 1,000 tickets a day. How long should it take me to run through all of the Chicktionary games? They seem to be the fastest way to earn points.

Matt Lauer is probably the fastest, but he maxes out in a couple of days. Prime Suspects is also pretty fast, once you become familiar with the hiding places.

I can't take any of the anagram games - I want to actually have at least some fun while playing.

Clink is fast, but not enough points. Crosswire can be fast if you know the topics.

My current favorite is Picture This. If you get hooked up with a fast partner, you can rack up 20 or more points per 2 minute game. Play long enough with the same person and you can start establishing "rules" - choose the largest-sized animal, choose the line drawing, choose the corporate logo, etc. It's also very easy to multi-task with that game - run it in one window and make a selection every few seconds.
Agree on Picture This. Just earned 27 points in less than 2 minutes. Granted, that doesn't always happen, but if you get a good partner, probably a FlyerTalker, who uses his/her head, you've got a good chance of getting at least 10-20 points in 2 minutes.

Chicktionary was about 23 days for me (can look at point history) - Spelling Bee is same principle when Chicktionary is done.

23 days huh?

That is good to hear. I am sure that I will run through it before I start anything else. Thanks for the heads up on spelling bee.

Haha agreed - now I know what to focus on over the next month or so! As a side bonus, I have learned some really random words too!
