I've received three new DL credits - for redemptions on 4, 5, and 6 December - but not yet up to the 8th (FWIW).

I'm still missing 3 2500s to Delta from 11/27. I think it might have been a mistake to switch to DL from AA -- only one 2500 has posted, and it's been over a month. Every single AA redemption has gone through in less than 4 weeks.

Edited to add:

It occurs to me that maybe the holdup is Delta delaying posting because otherwise they'd have to honor the bonus promotion that I signed up for before they rescinded it. Unlikely, though -- it's probably just Air Incentives. I hope I actually receive the miles sometime.

The maximum points that LSC allows per day is 1000 tickets. Anyone getting more than that is using more than one account. As far as getting tickets faster, most of us use anagram solvers in a split window that simply gives us all the answers to the anagram games such as Chictionary, Spelling Bee and Word Slugger. One popular website for LSC solutions is http://www.anagramssolved.com/anagram-solutions.html

So no more?

So, I just redeemed points for 100 miles on AA.

This means I can no longer get that 100 miles prize again, but can get 500mi, 100mi, and 2500mi. [Lame!]

What about those with multiple accounts? Have you been successful in transferring more than the max 4100 miles to one AA account? [Say if my brother in CA wants to give me some?]

It seems I spoke too soon. Today I had the 2 more Delta posts for 1k each (this was done when there was no 2500 available) that did indeed post late today. I also had one AA post.

So as of now I'm all caught up, as I did take some time away for the Holidays.

Nope, it loads right away, actually it loads faster than the normal Chictionary used to load. I am curious about the "Single Player" thingy though, like they will add a partner on later or something.

Happy AA Tuesday! Got 2 x 1000, 5 and 7 Dec! YAY!!!!

US 1000s, 12/8 redemptions with 12/30 postings.

No AA 2500s from 12/1 redemptions, with lots queued up for that day. Hearing of AA 1000s, didn't anyone receive AA 2500s?

One family member got an AA 2500 award from 11/27. Also received were AA 1,000 awards from the first week in December (up to 12/7). All posted today, but with various posting dates between 12/19 and 12/29.

Anything redeemed 12/8 and later is still outstanding.

Good to see that folks are still having some good activity on AA Tuesday. I had a little bit of a lull, so the next redemption I'm waiting for is 12/11...

Hopefully things keep up next week too! <crosses fingers>

According to the written rules, this is correct, however it does not appear to be enforced currently.

Yes, you may have miles from someone else deposit into your FF account, although I do not think that the rules address this one way or the other per say.

Many people have multiple accounts and I have heard of no one being cited for this, however, the rules do say one account per person.

The rules are about as clear as mud, and enforced equally as bad. It does appear that multiple award postings are currently going through, so this may be a good sign for all of us.

Reason why most got 1000 AA redemptions today was because this coincided with the period where the 2500 mile redemption option was not available for that week so many just redeemed for the 1000 mile option.
