Hmmm, gosh why didn't I think of that? Apart from the one award per person/per award/ per household/ per FF account, that may work!

Yep, I was VERY lucky to get my wife as a partner. It has been sheer coincidence to get her as an online partner in Live Search. However, when we do manage to get each other as a partner, we are very careful to not hit the request for another partner.

That would still fall into the per FF account restriction, right? the way I understand it, each FF account can have a maximum of 4100 miles deposited into it, if somebody finds other ways, please pm me.

I thought the email address on your ff account had to match your LSC email account address???

Doesn't seem to be so, I opened an account for a family member a while ago to "top off" her Delta account. There was no problem opening a new email address and depositing three redemptions. I have not tried to open a second new account and re-trying, but I can state for a fact that email addresses do not have to match FF email addresses.

When you redeem the e-mail address on the redemption is supposed to match the one on the FF account. The e-mail address that the actual live search address is related to does not have to match.

Back-end seems sluggish, and it's Mon. That usually indicates change. Does anyone see any changes in the app?

Correct, there is no apparent way around this thus far, that I can see, I am not so sure that email addresses are the main driving factor in cross checking by Microsoft, my guess is that home addresses factor in there somewhere...possibly matching the FF account holder and the address with the address on file when one signs up for a LSC club account via Microsoft.....do they still require a home address when signing up for a LSC/Microsoft account?? Anyone? I can't remember....

LSC does not require a home address when you sign up for an account. Heck, it doesn't even ask for your name. I think I'm just going to start a new account every week and redeem from that account just once (1X2500, 1X1000, 1X500) which is 7200 tickets. I would have to start off the account with 200 tickets and then max out at 1000 tickets daily for the entire week. I would then forget about that account and start a new account weekly and repeat that cycle and redeem on the same day every week since it seems that it's a bit safer to wait at least a week to redeem to the same FF# account when using different accounts.

I have thought of that as well, however, when the deposits start hitting a single FF account from multiple LSC accounts, that may be the red flag area, who knows...we all know that multiple LSC accounts currently work for single FF account deposits. This has been ok to do in the past, per LSC, but going forward, I wonder if it is still going to flow through the system as it always has...

Good news, bad news.

The good news is that 2500 miles posted to my Delta account today (12/22) from LSC (11/27 redemption).

The bad news is that I was expecting four redemptions to post.

Did you receive a "Posting Complete" email yet?

Did you receive any refunded tickets?

No, I haven't received the Posting Complete email yet. I won't be able to check on my ticket balance until I get home from work (LSC is blocked here). I'll let you know tonight.
