That would be 36.3 miles per flexicon, or if you average 2 minutes per puzzle, about a mile every 3 seconds...

Good heavens almighty. 17,200 points for 10,000 miles (25,000 RDMs after the bonus). Figure 17 days of play if you can do 1019 or 1024 per day.

Just keep in mind... the way I'm reading it, miles must post by 12/31 to get the 150% bonus. So redeem the moment the mileage awards return, as it could take 2-3 weeks (or 4) to post. I wouldn't count on the 150% bonus on anything redeemed after 12/15 (if that).

I'm surprised LSC is named in that list, never did any DL redemptions but the transaction description on other airlines rather looked like they came from air incentive with no reference to microsoft or lsc. Is this different for DL?

Good point. Maybe it's really "anything from Air Incentives", and they listed the most popular examplese of those programs that use AI for processing.

Microsoft Live Search Club is listed as an eligible partner.
American Airlines??? Never heard of them (at least for now).
If the awards return, I hope they hurry up. I have 7-8 redemptions primed and ready to go.

Good news I guess, got a reply from air incentive: "Microsoft Live Search Club's option to redeem tickets for air miles is temporarily unavailable. We hope to make it available shortly. Thank you for your patience."

I'm glad I'm reading this, as I was starting to freak myself!

I am sooooo thankful for FT, in this case for it's instant ability to chill me out before I even get a chance to start freaking out.

Don't know if anyone else noticed (didn't see this mentioned) but it also looks like the daily reset is off again. Appears the 0000 UTC / 1700 MST reset didn't happen last night. I just maxed out 1000 tickets, but have only played for 100 tickets this morning, and I did 900 yesterday morning.
I've had this happen.

Close the puzzle and log off, then log back on and restart the puzzle. Comes up reset. (unless you hit the 35k hard limit for Flexicon)

Who's being patient?!

Someone over here received the "redemption complete email" Tue or Wed, for an AA posting from Tue. Talk about a sudden tease, with a more sudden letdown!

DL starts with this crazy bonus stuff... and no redemptions available?!

Can I post to delta from two Live Search accounts

Can you post miles from Live Search Club to one Delta account from two different Live Search Club accounts? I was earning miles on Delta, but set up a second account when I completed all the points from the 'Where in the world" game which I was going to use for a different airline. Now, I have points in two Live Search Club accounts and I would like to use that second account to also post miles to Delta.

Also, with the delta promotion time frame so short and the length of time it takes to redeem, it would be great if we could redeem from two different accounts without having to wait for the 2500 mile reward to become available again on one account.

I don't want to try it and get in trouble. Any info would be appreciated.

Hi all,

I have question regarding current DL miles posting.

How long does it take to see miles posted to my SkyMiles account? I mean, if I want to be considered for this bonus %, my miles should be posted until December, 31st. So, until what date I should reedem my tickets for miles?

Is there a link on DL Skymiles program that verifies your current/past promotions that you have signed up for. I signed up for this latest promotion but never got a confirmation email. TKS!

Newbie here...

Is chicktionary the easiest game? (Using an online anagram generator I assume...)

There is a 1,000 point daily limit? Any other sorts of limits?
