A family member had multiple postings today for HA from 12/19 and 12/20 which were both 1k rewards.

Still no joy for Mr. And Mrs. C's AA and US awards which are backed up to around 11/20. Grrr.

So Grandma gets multiple 1ks after T&C changes and we get nothing (so far) for redemptions pre-changes.

Hope some of these will fall out in the wash.

No problem. Thought for a second maybe air incentives was offering a new airline thru LSC.

Confusing, isn't it? There appears to be no logic to what's posting, and what's not.

I think I'm officially writing off LSC. No redemption from 12/2 onward has posted for me. It was GREAT while it lasted though.

I (incorrectly) expected the December 14 DL redemption today - haven't had miles from any source credited in the last week ...

Hi,

Are there any other sites like anagrammer and anagramssolved that I can use to solve the new Flexicon puzzles I've been playing crosswire ever since LSC decided to change the puzzles.

Please help

For Flexicon I like www.oneacross.com which is a crossword puzzle help site.

If you just work on them, soon you'll be doing them as fast as the previous Flexicons. The new Flexicons repeat clues just as much as the old ones.

I also got a 1 x 2500 from Delta. It posted today from a 12/20 redemption.

I'm trying to figure out why some people continue to get all of their redemptions and others are getting none. So far I'm in the lucky group.

I'm curious if it has to do with the anagram solver and how little time is required to complete the anagrams. I have done all of the Flexicons (without any assistance). I had maxed out on them, but then a second batch of flexicons came out. I'm now maxed on those as well. I have done Picture This for most of my other points. So far I have earned about 90,000 in just under 100 days as a member. I have cashed in for the 2,500 mile award each time I reached the required level (except during the week in which they were not available).

So far all have posted with a three week or so delay.

It takes me just less than three hours to max out using Flexicon. With Picture This it can take less or more than three hours depending on the quality of your partners. As I understand it the people who use anagram solvers can max out in just over an hour. I just wonder if Microsoft has monitored the speed and cut people's awards that go to fast?

Doubt it. Due to computer/ISP issues, it takes me a minimum of four hours to max out on Chicktionary even with an anagram solver. Flexicon even longer. And, I have had no points post since the end of October.

Well, they set a 1,000 ticket limit to stop the people using bots and getting 30,000 to 50,000 tickets in a few hours. (Do a search on YouTube)
