Since Microsoft keeps changing the terms & conditions on redemptions, you'd think that they would design the site so that you could not redeem tickets for a prize you are no longer eligible for. I guess that's asking too much of a software company!?! A simple pop up box stating -- your are not eligible.
But then again they designed Vista.
I belong to E-rewards and for Delta you can only redeem for FF miles every 180 days. If you try before that, a warning notice pops up.
If they want folks to use the site, they really need to do a better job. I have yet to get Chicktionary on Ice to come up.
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.
Don't hold your breath on the "posting complete" emails, some people get them and some do not, it is a bit erratic.
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.
Better news. My three missing Delta redemptions from 11/27 just posted today (12/22). The odd thing is that even though I redeemed a total of four prizes within minutes of each other, the posting dates on Delta are different. Three are listed as 12/19 (posted on 12/22) and one is listed as 12/21 (posted on 12/22).
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...
This is logical. For everyone already registered they'd need to require people to add in their personal info. Much of that can be gotten around with different addresses, etc, so the limiting factor will be the FF account #. When they decide to limit the number of miles into each account, that will guarantee the end for us.
I've been hoping that they're letting everything through right now b/c most people are redeeming tickets that were earned before the T&Cs changed. Of course they can do whatever they want, but it would be at least a bit of good will to let past tickets be used for what the player was earning/attempting to redeem for at they time the games were played.

This is a very good point, they should have at least given us notice that they were changing the FF redemptions as people would have been working for the prize for several days. Not everyone can max out at 1000 per day so they may have been doing 200-300 per day to save up for the 4300 ticket prize. Even the arilines like AA gave us several months notice before they raised the award levels on certain prizes.
I am still trying to get my head around WHY they are doing this when we are the ones who are mainly supporting their site. Don't they want people to play their games anymore?
I just checked delta.com, and my 3 2500s to DL on 11/27 have not appeared. I was later than others on the 11/17 redemption, though -- I believe it came on a Thursday -- so I won't be worried until after Thursday.

Those are probably the dates Air Incentives sent them to Delta. Probably Air Incentives does the redemptions in batches, and yours just happened to split between batches.
I've had 35oo post in the last 3 days from redemptions just over 2 weeks ago.
Went ahead and bought 4100 with remaining tickets.... got the email confirming the transaction, now waiting to see if they will post. On another airline this time.
BTW- on my HA milage statement I have 2 1000 mile additions from points.com 3 weeks ago. I didn't do it. ??????
AA tuesday.
Have had 2 x 1000 post which I think is from 11/26 and 11/30 (have a few more waiting to post 12/01 - 12/20- will have to see what happens)
