Have been playing with LSC for a couple of month and redeemed points many times, but today, the first time I received the email of "Posting Complete" indicating a redemption about 2 weeks to Alaska airline has been processed. Wondering anybody else got such email as well? Hopefully it does not indicate something special about my account? Thanks

Interesting. I got posting complete emails all summer long and even a bit before but have had none since the last one received in Sept 12. But a lot of miles posted since then.

Actually, they only sent them for a week or two as I recall. They haven't sent any since then until last week. It is nice, but I won't count on them continuing.

Someone asked about maxing out matt lauer. I just wanted you all to know that I did that today. Around 1500 tickets. That includes maxing out the old game and the new one. Too bad too. I like Matt Lauer.

The good thing is that each game lasts 2 minutes. You get tickets based on how many matches you and your partner make in those two minutes. It can be a bit slow to load, but if you get on a roll, you can rack up points fast. Hope that helps.

As additional evidence the LSC isn't going to disappear overnight..
You can vote / view results on the front page of LSC for the next prize to be added. Not surprisingly, a Digital Photo Frame valued at 5300 tickets is winning 81% compared to 19% votes for the Kobo Soy Candle valued at 3500 tickets.

Yeah, but the digital photo frame is, unfortunately, crap. The large frame you see in the picture is actually a regular frame to insert pictures in. The actual "digital" part of the frame is a tiny box to the right of the big frame, which has a screen smaller than my cell phone. The frame also says "Live Search Club" on it...I don't mind branding on the hats, shirts, net ball game etc, but for something I'll be using in my house, I think it would be kind of tacky.
Obviously, I voted for the candle.

I did notice after the fact what a piece of junk the photo frame seems to be. I wouldn't get the frame or candle anyway - not good enough value for my time. Miles, miles, miles! Topping up accounts can get premium airline seats of extreme value compared to a little fire hazard or an eye-squinting photo frame.
