Did anyone get one of these? I've only got screenshots of my "confirmed"registration on the registration page.

I had the same problem at first but figured it out: The "submit" button is cut off for some reason, but you can see the very top of it under credit card info. It's a display problem, but there's is a sliver to click on. That'll work.

Thank you very much- it was very hard to see the submit button- it was as you say a sliver to click on-

Thanks for contacting them -- I contacted them too and they sounded excited to put any and all donated tickets to good use.

I also contacted the folks at "CarolinaTix" and asked what the best procedure would be for "Will Call" tickets (e.g. like for the SlamCharlotte Poetry Slam)

This is what I was told the procedure should probably be:
--You buy the ticket
--You get a purchase confirmation (with confirmation #) by e-mail
--You send this confirmation number and message to the USO
--The USO then matches this donated ticket to a specific person
--The USO provides the name of this person to CarolinaTix
--CarolinaTix will make the ticket available for pickup by THAT person

(I assume E-Tickets would follow a similar procedure as Will Call Tickets)

Sounds like this will all go quite smoothly! I was waiting to hear back if they had a preferred e-mail at the USO, but that was already taken care of by Nangress. ^ So if you wish to donate your SlamCharlotte tickets (or any others) to the North Carolina USO, please send them to [email protected]. If I hear back from NC-USO that they want them sent elsewhere, I'll update this message.

Thanks and please spread the word to other Grand Slam SlamCharlotte ticket holders!

I earned an extra 15,842 above the 100,000 from the Grand Slam itself.

So, I'm a lightweight and my goal here is 8 hits for 10k miles.

Once I get 8 hits, how long is it until the miles post? Do they wait until 11/14?

dukerau

They post every two weeks starting 9/28. So when you get 4 hits, you'll get 3000 miles at the next posting date. Then 7000 more on the posting date following your 8th hit.

Alumino

I too was once like kilton... way back in aught ten. But then you start looking at the increments....

1st Bonus = 3000 miles
2nd Bonus = 7000 miles
3rd Bonus = 5000 miles
4th Bonus = 10000 miles
5th Bonus = 10000 miles
6th Bonus = 10000 miles
7th Bonus = 15000 miles
8th Bonus = 20000 miles
9th Bonus = 20000 miles

"Hmmm... another 8 hits will get me to 25k miles"
then
"4 more after that gets me another 10k"

And at that point, it was time to buy flowers, cookies, trees, stickers for my phone, pocket wine guides, pen cartidges, etc.

So, don't give up hope. With the help of FlyerTalk, you'll be surprised at how far you can get for practically free. And for $100 you can get much farther.

How can you confirm a hit actually went through? Does something show up on the US Airways site referring to that hit?

If you are using the toolbar for a search and that search is Amazon and the toolbar tells you that you get 1 mile per $1 spent and you immediately go on and buy from Amazon - does that count as a shopping mall hit? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Exiled in Express

I had the same question last night. Amazon posts within in a week from previous posts so we should know in plenty of time to correct errors if needed.

JordanJac

I have the SAME question!

clen

hi there. i'm new to this and just wondering about something that might be obvious to others. when booking rental cars, flights, hotels, etc., does one only receive hits when using a us airways credit card to purchase these things?

dukerau

No. Every two weeks (starting 9/28), you'll get miles posted if you've reached a new tier. That's the only way to tell if you've received hits. That said, most hits are 'sure' things - if you have miles posted from a 1800Flowers, OfficeMax, etc purchase, you got the hit. If a transfer from eMiles, eRewards, or hotel program shows, you got the hit. For those that may be questionable, you can do 3 sure hits and 1 questionble one and wait til 9/28 and see if you get the first bonus tier posted. Obviously you can manipulate this strategy to check moving forward.

The only hits that require use of the credit cards (or debit card) are the ones for, well, using the credit & debit cards. Put cars, hotels, online partner purchases etc. on whatever card you like.

N.B. There are no hits from "flights".
