In that particular post, I was targeting Gilt, which is a partner on its own, outside of Skymiles Shopping.
They had a $5 event ticket listed for this past weekend, so I bought one. Nothing has credited and no indication in any way that it will, so I suspect I will have to fight pretty hard for this "hit"...

"New Gilt customers earn 1,000 bonus miles for your first purchase of $50 or more."
That might be separate from this promotion, though. It does strike me, however, that a lot of the things you can buy via Gilt are for brands that there are current Amex offers for and I'd imagine they're stackable.

If you can find an AirBnB bed for $9 or under with a $1 service fee and no cleaning fee, the cpm is less than 1 cent.
Unfortunately, so far, only place I have found one like that is in Thailand. I have no idea if no-shows would work.
Anyone have an AirBnb property that you want to set up a mileage running room for?

Booked an Airbnb in March for a stay in May, paid in March, and then paid the day after we checked in.

Anyway to get Amex to rush my points? I just opened a card last week and 1st statement closes early next month. Already hit min spend, and wondering if I should call Amex to change the statement date. I mean it's an extra 1k points, probably worth it.

On the day of my arrival, I informed them can't make it and asked them not to cancel the reservation as I already paid and they will get paid anyhow. It worked!

Another data point:
Lyft taken on June 10, 7 miles posted on June 19, and bonus miles posted today (june 21).
Still no TrueBlue points but not that I really care about those currently.

I did this. Booked a bed for $12, that time there was a promo of x3 for each dollar spent. I got a total of 1036 miles
