Thanks for the heads up on LSC. I played games on and off for the past few months. I deposited 100 in US and 100 in AA and just deposited 2500 in AA. With that I think I'm going to stop. It is too much effort for me!

I'm missing quite a few redemptions that I *think* should have posted already.

AA
1 redemption from 12/5

Delta
4 redemptions from 12/2
1 redemption from 12/3
1 redemption from 12/4
1 redemption from 12/5
1 redemption from 12/6
1 redemption from 12/7

I was really hoping the Delta miles would post since I'm in on the Delta 150% Partner Bonus promotion. Oh well. I hope these miles post eventually.

Disagree. We're now five Tues past the 12/1 redemptions. How long should they wait?

Posting over at mango12 that someone received an AA 2500 posting from a 12/1 redemption.

It sure seems like people are getting their multiple mile redemptions posted AFTER the change in T/C...however, there seems to plenty of folks with missing miles as well. It is hard to figure out....

As a note, no notfications via e-mail of todays deposits. They seem to be hit or miss on the 'Posting Complete' notices. Since DH & I started combining to AA now, we did receive 4 total redemptions @ 1000 miles each today. Clear on all deposits up thru 12/6 (didn't do any on the 7th.)

And as far as the 'On Ice' version not loading, maybe check & see if all of your Java updates have been done? I know I had a few of those over the last few weeks. And it has been loading ok for us.

All games are Flash or HTML based, Java has nothing to do with it.

Does anyone know if we're allowed to use multiple LSC accounts to redeem for miles to one Frequent Flyer Miles account in the same week?

"Are you allowed to?" answer: "No"
"Have people done it?" Answer: "Yes" and it seems like the points do post for a bit but from what I've read it seems like the FF account will eventually get flagged and then you will not get anymore points form LSC. So my advice is not to do it unless its a last ditch effort to get some points because of the chance of being completely cut off.

So I've maxed out on Flexicon, Chictionary, Spelling Bee and soon I will max out on Word Slugger. I've tried Red Carpet Reveal, Crosswire, Picture This but they all take too long to achieve 1000 tickets (even with the answers). Can anyone suggest a game other than the ones named above where I can max out at 1000 in under 90 minutes? I thought about starting a new account and start fresh redeeming to the same ff account but too nervous to do so!
Tks!

What I am wondering is if the awarding of points is automatic or manual data entry by a human being? Or would have to be several humans working in an office. If it is automatic, they could install a program that blocks FF accounts after they get the max number of points. Or humans would be able to cross-reference accounts but that would take longer. However, people who work as data entry clerks are usually under pressure to do as many as possible and will have quotas so they are not likely to waste time cross-referencing.

This is one thing that we will probably never know exactly. It is probably a combination of both human data entry and auto posting. As often as they screw things up, ya gotta figure that not so well paid data entry people are involved at some point on the line.

No guarantees but you would probably be fine if you discontinued using the first account & just started using the 2nd account. I was redeeming only for midwest & DH only for AA. We finally did start combine both into the same AA account so we can at least hopefully accomplish something. I earned enough for nearly 2 tickets on Midwest (as I already had some miles in there) and their choices of redemptions for flights is severely more limited than AA after their plane cutbacks last fall. That was the basis for moving both redemptions to AA. We normally alternate weeks to try to avoid any errors & I never redeem more than one time per day (except when I did it once a couple weeks ago) as that is the only time they 'lost' my order(s). So far both accounts have redeemed properly into the same AA account. So I would expect if you just stopped on the one and started on the new one you would probably be fine.
