I haven't maxed out yet, but would like to know for when I do. Thanks.
I was maxed out yesterday and can now play. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean much. Several times I was supposedly maxed but was able to play when I tried again later that same day.

People, keep your posting data info coming! It appears the post-meltdown scenario is now AA-Tue 4 weeks out, and everyone else 21 days out?

We're still waiting for 6 US postings ordered 11/25 or later...

Very bad news, they updated the ff miles prize description and added the following:

Quote:
Redeem your tickets for airline miles with Alaska, American Airlines, Delta, Frontier, Hawaiian, Midwest, and US Airways! You will receive MILES frequent flyer miles with one of these participating airlines. Please note you may only order one of each prize item per household. For airline miles your household may receive no more than one of each quantity of airline miles that is offered in the prize mall (for example, your household may order one of each of the following, when offered in the prize mall: 100 airline miles; 500 airline miles; 1000 airline miles and 2500 airline miles).

That's why I don't think it's a good idea to keep emailing LSC and force them to pay the attention.

I've not been able to play at all.

And at least when I play, the captcha was coming up way too frequently compared previously. Had no problem switching back to Spelling Bee or Word Slugger.

Maybe someday my missing US and DL miles from all of November (let alone Dec) will show up.

If that is indeed the official word from the powers that be, then this is over as we know it for most of us around here.

It was fun while it lasted, I banked about 97k DL miles and wanted badly to top 100k but was unable to get there, as I quit playing before Thanksgiving hoping the system would eventually fix itself. I will try and top off what prizes that I have not claimed thus far, and move on.

It has been fun and profitable though.

Wish I had gone on LSC sooner than I did. I've only been playing since October. Hope they honor all the outstanding redemptions though. I guess on the bright side...
1) I will have more free time on my hands now
2) No more risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome

Well, once my outstanding redemptions post, if they do, I'll certainly try to redeem again, just in case. If I can't, then I'm done, but it was a good ride. I'd have to check, but miles already redeemed are close to 140K, with another 10K+ pending.

It would be only a few lines of code on the redemption page, to check the account's "Prizes Redeemed" for any previous redemptions for that mileage amount.

Has anyone yet been denied a redemption, for a previously redeemed mileage amount?

Very nice! 140k miles for playing games, only in America!

Yes, it was a great ride...and I will probably test the system as well because as we all know the LSC techies are always on the ball...

Yeah, I have 2 x 2500 and 2 x 1000 pending. I need one more 2500 which I would acheive by tomorrow to make my husband's account equal to mine.

If there is no way around this (fresh new account?), LSC is going to lose a LOT of players, hope that's what they want.

Well it still allows you to redeem - 2 @ 1000 miles tonight. So I guess we'll see during the next four weeks if they cancel and redeposit the miles, if they just totally disappear, or if they do credit at the end of 3 or 4 weeks.

I'm going to keep playing for now. The only thing I'm wasting is my time while I'm watching TV. If they refund, I'll go for a bigger prize - Xbox, Office, or maybe the cookbooks.

Oh yeah, maybe it will be worth playing for an XBox. Although I don't consider it the bargain that the FF miles are.

Hmmm, I went back to my original account, and I have Flexicon puzzles again. I maxed out months ago.

I saw the new disclaimer on the redemption page so I of course ran straight over to this thread. Seems like everybody else has thrown in the towel too...

Oh well...maybe I'll try for a Zune then.
