Delta miles posted today from 10/09! I'm still waiting for miles from 10/13. So I think they just posted until 10/12
Ditto. 10/14 and then 10/18 specifically not posted yet.
Just my regular slew of US miles every time it's 14 days old. I stick to US due to ease of *A redemptions, but will likely be switching entirely to DL (and NW) in the coming year.
Wonder why UA/NW/CO weren't part of the original redemption options? Something with Air Incentives? You'd figure that all airlines would be willing to sell miles, to get cash-flow.
Programs: AA EXP, UA 1K. Life is really, really good!

Personally, I have had several large redemptions fail to show up when I attempted it. Of all of my redemptions, they were the only ones with no other good reason not to post. I lost out on on a LOT of miles with those. I also know of others who have had the same problem.
It all comes down to risk aversion. Can you potentially get multiple LSC to one FF in the same week? Yes. Is it worth the risk? You decide. Just don't try to stifle the flow of information by claiming anyone who disagrees is "fear mongering".
Also, the 1 week+ between redemptions from different accounts was based on trying to avoid them posting at the same time. Because there used to be a lot more delays, I used to space them by 2 weeks.
Sorry, I'd forgotten you had actual bad experiences.Your reasoning of waiting two weeks between redemptions seems to work, but it's as anectdotal as my ability to redeem many the same week. I wouldn't want you to lose tickets by trying redeeming from several accounts to one FF account on the same day, but it works for me.
When you first posted about not redeeming multpile accounts in the same week, I had lots of redemptions pending and was convinced I would never get the miles based on your experience. In fact I was afraid perhaps my FF account might be compromised and I would be banned forever from LSC. However, everything went smoothly for me, and that's all I'm reporting here.
Perhaps things have changed, as they do so often on LSC. Did the disappearance of redemptions occur before the 1,000 tickets per day limitation? And possibly before they got things straightened out late last spring when things didn't seem to post as regularly as now? I'm just curious because everything seems to be working okay since last May.
My fear would be that if LSC or AI decided one was violating the TOS they would remove all the miles previously awarded to your FF account. Not sure they could do that once the miles were deposited, but you never know.
There is talk of accounts being flagged and no prizes sent, but the accounts not being closed. Some have received emails noting their accounts were flagged and being watched, some did not.
The site is so flaky and managed in such a MS way it is difficult to know anything for certain.
I appreciate everyone reporting their experiences here, although it seems the miles are posting without issue so maybe it's overkill to announce each and every posting. Then again, it's nice to know folks are getting miles.
Tks btw for the replies to my previous question. I'm a newbie at using LSC.
Here's another dumb question to the folks who have multiple LSC accounts going for FF miles. Do you have the accounts under the same name? I was wondering since I would assume that LSC sends your name along with the FF# to the appropriate airline and would assume the airline would match up the name with the FF#? Am I totally wrong?
I currently redeem to AA but was thinking of setting up a separate account to accrue more tickets and redeem to Delta at a later time in bulk. Tks for the help!

Welcome aboard John, most folks have accounts under family members' names and such (hint) because as we all know, the rules say one LSC account per customer, (hint), personally, I have one account and family members have accounts as well, these said LSC accounts may have miles deposited in any miles account that they wish, there seems to be no known issues with earning tickets/miles then making a deposit in most any account that you wish....I think the foggy area comes to light when people open many LSC accounts for the purpose funding individual accounts....I think that's what LSC is trying to avoid.

Is anyone currently waiting for AA miles? I redeem on Midwest and they always post on day 14 or day 15. My husband only redeems for AA miles and is currently waiting for a redemption from 10/8 which we would have expected to post last Thursday on the 23rd. He isn't as 'nitpicky' as I am so we aren't sure if the preceding deposits actually posted on the 15th day or just had that accurate 15th day effective date on the AA history. I do see this little note on the AA site that says 'Flights, awards and other eligible transactions processed within the last two weeks may not be reflected.'
So back to the original question or a variation of it - have you had any AA miles posted recently and from what redemption date?

Where in the registration process did you ever enter an actual name? All of our family MSN live accounts simply have email addresses and D.O.B. and zip code. That's it. No name. They only know the names of the players after-the-fact, when you redeem, thereby possibly creating a Catch-22 run-around that they might have intended to create all along...everyone gets one account, but they don't have anyway to prove it and they would let you "gift" your redemption to whomever you please anyway.
Afterall, they are trying to get search results, and it is those with multiple accounts who are playing the most and ramping up the search results... MSN is lathering, rinsing and repeating in a really superb symbiotic relationship with the FT community. A true win-win. At least until the ad revenue completely disappears as the economy tanks.
is anyone having issues with flexicon & seekado - that every so often after solving a line, it send the cursor to the bottom of the screen - to the search results area? this has been happening to me for the last few days, and i often mistakenly click on the search result, and occasionally lose the game window - anyone else?

Yes, I've been having a similar problem with Flexicon and Matt Lauer -- when the OK button is selected, images scroll filling the screen and making it necessary for me to mouse up to the top to continue playing. Slows the games down considerably.
This started last Friday for me, and appears that it has not been fixed.
I did send e-mails to LSC, but so far, no results -- and no response.
