My friends

I've ordered a T-Shirt (1100 tickets) for me and one week later... OMG (!!!)
I received it. It is Made in USA!!! That's a surprise. T-Shirt "Made in USA"! And the quality is great!

My friends you don't want to take your award flights naked, do you?

Yes, randomly. They appeared during game play (in the "parent" window), and didn't appear to impact game play (total points wasn't effected, as games were played). Then they went away. Sometimes, the "Oops" message would appear. Probably a random back-end server issue, maybe a load distributor not recognizing a host down?

I have done that several times for individual puzzles. However, my most recent problem with Seekadoo is that after the game loads, the "play new game" button is not clickable (and instead of black letttering, it's grey). It's been this way for almost two months.

Maybe I've maxed out? But other games have a message telling you there are no more available games. This one just won't let me play. That's why I contacted them, but never received an explanation.

Change of color of "Play New Game" usually indicates that you're out of puzzles. Sounds that it's different colors for each game. Believe Spelling Bee is bright yellow, Chictionary is bright green, etc.

Do you have a bunch of partially completed puzzles? The greyed out button happened to me with the chicken game when I had about 10 unfinished puzzles. Once I cleared them I was able to play new games.

This has failed for several people I have heard from. If you order in different weeks, it should not be a problem. If you and a significant other are both playing for one account, it's best to alternate weeks and just order twice as many every other weeks. If you have a large family, you would need a big rotation.
Two LSC accounts to two different FF #'s that happened to be linked at the airline seems to work. But I've still never redeemed from two LSC accounts on the same day.

I received an email offering 100 points for installing the toolbar and using it once. Should I get the 100 points immediately? I can't find this mentioned in any terms and conditions. Thanks.

I got that - had to upgrade the toolbar I'd already had installed. 100 tix credited to the account I used immediately. Tool bar lets you search and earn up to 10 tix daily.

Help -- redeem AA but with wrong email, anyway to fix?

Hi,

Just started to know this and have played for a couple of weeks to get enough miles for two 2500 redemptions to AA. However, for some other reason I updated my AA email two weeks ago. My first redemption on Thursday night is submitted with the right AA email address, but today I made a mistake to enter the old AA email on the page ... and just realized the error after the redemption went through! Am I screwed up? Is there a way to fix it? Anybody happen to know how exactly the 14-day processing is handled? If I change the email on my AA acount back to the old address right now, will it affect my Thursday's redemption? Please help! Appreciated a lot!

Thanks again

If you used your correct name and frequent flyer account you will be fine, the points will post. You just won't get the confirmaion email. No big deal.

the email address i use for redemptions, which is my hotmail address for LSC, never matches my AA email address. never had any issues getting the miles.

I was posting 3 LSC accounts to the same FF # on the same day for months until this thread said it would not be the right thing to do and there would be repercussions. No problem so far. I think it's idle speculation.

LSC was designed simply to increase the hits on MS Search. Period.
Essentially MS is cheating by "paying" people to use their search engine.
So the more hits I create on their search engine they happier they will be.
Suspecting MS is watching your redemption dates and is prepared to swoop down and stop you from getting another 1,000 miles is paranoid.

Guessing that you should space your redemptions by 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, is just guessing and fear mongering.

People who were running bots and racking up 30,000 tickets a day, grabbing Zunes and selling them on eBay have been shut down by the 1,000 tickets a day limit. I run three accounts simply because once my games of choice were exhausted it seemed better to open a new account and keep on playing the good games rather than putting up with having to play stupid games.

I'm so bored with the games that I only use one account now, but I never had a problem posting multiple LSC accounts to one FF # on the same day or within days.

Go forth and play.

Most of what you say is true, LSC is mostly concerned with bots, cheaters and people gaming their system. Microsoft is just trying to drum up some business for their search product, and we all benefit.

Most casual players around here playing with multiple accounts, will never have any problems with multiple redemptions.

Just be cautious, as the terms and conditions of MS and LSC are fairly clear about owning multiple accounts, so take that at face value, and interpet the rules in your own ways.

I have never heard of anyone around here getting their accounts closed for owning multiple accounts.
