Well I have officially received multiple 2500 redemptions from a single CL account to an old already redeemed FF account yesterday. This says to me that the 1 redemption rule doesn't apply. Sadly I couldnt redeem AA at the time due to the disappearing prize but next week I should know for sure. Also expecting some delta tomorrow so we will see there. Anyways I just redeemed way too many tickets on the assumption everything is good to go as I had been stocking up since the changes to see what was going on. Heres to hoping they arent all wasted

What dates did you put in for your redemptions? After the T/C changes? Thanks.

Ignoring the summer snafu for a moment, has anyone gotten a message like the one freakazoid mentioned in Post #3128 prior to the apparent changes to the T&C's?

It's not clear to me whether LSC sent this out because it is confused about freakazoid's multiple redemptions for the same award on the same day OR if they are actually trying to enforce a one-time redemption for each prize.

If the latter, then the questions become:

1. Can a participant cash in one of each of the following awards for one airline: 100 miles, 500 miles, 1000 miles, and 2500 miles?

2. Can a participant cash in a 100-mile award for Airline A, a 100-mile award for Airline B, etc.?

3. Can a participant exploit permutations of Questions 1 and 2 above?

Seems like for now I've been the only one with that duplicate message, so hopefully it was a random tech screwup at the worst moment thinkable...

A random tech screw up at LSC/Microsoft? Are you serious?? No, that's not possible!

Just kidding of course....I, for one, have never seen the message in post #3128...but hopefully it is not a sign of things to come....

This can't be an accident. Three Flexicon games in a row are totally new. This is the first time that the site I use hasn't had the answers.

Oy vey, this takes forever!

Wow - fleixcon has actually loaded new games. I had been out for quite a long time now but bringing up new ones for me!

11pm update.

Midwest - Redeemed 11/17 2500 miles - received 11 pm central last night (eff 12/17)
Redeemed 11/18 2500 miles - received 11 pm central tonight (eff date of 12/18)

So multiple redemptions for the same mileage amount/same account are being received. I will comment on the multiple in one day and I have mentioned it before - the only ones ever totally lost for me were when I did two redemptions for the same amount on the same day twice. LSC indicated that points.com said they had credited my account & I was missing nothing and they could do no more. So I was out those two redemptions - that was back in June. I will now never do multiple redemptions in the same business day.

Any ideas?
It had happened to me again. For the second time

This time some 358 tickets and again exceeded.

I've done many Flexicons without assistance but the brand-new ones are absolutely brutal - they aren't using the "clue recycling" to which one grows accustomed.

2 X 2500 posted on Delta today for 11-25 redemptions. My 11-27 redemption didn't make it yet. This does put me at 10,000 miles though for the Delta Partners promo.
