The question wasn't if the OP should use an anagram solver. The question was if using an anagram solver was cheating. It is cheating. That doesn't necessarily mean one shouldn't use one.

IT IS NOT CHEATING. THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT AND USING GOOGLE OR MSN SEARCH.

I redeemed points for airline miles a few days ago, and got a confirmation email. But when I look at my Redemption History, there's nothing there. Does it show up a bit later, only show up when the miles are posted, or something else?

I've redeemed points for AA miles four times (different dates throughout April). None ever showed up in the redemption history, two already posted to my AA account, and I'm still waiting for the last two. I tried contacting Live Search Club early on in the process to ask why nothing was listed in the redemption history even though the points had been deducted from my total tickets, but I never got a response. I think as long as you got the confirmation e-mail you're okay, and they will post eventually. Mine took about 2 weeks, but YMMV.

I have made several redemptions to AA and Delta and none have ever showed up in the history for either of them. I don't believe airline miles post in the history.

BUY A NEW KEYBOARD!

on a side note, I think I vaguely remember something about no excessive caps in posts as one of the Terms and Conditions of Flyertalk. So, consider a keyboard - they're cheap.

Or you could order one through the Live Search Club

But actually, I'd recommend ordering it through a mileage mall.

They do eventually show up there. At least most of mine have. Didn't check to see if they all did.
