I tried to use shop4miles, unsuccessfully, numerous times. The site was really slow and never would load for me.

I didn't want to use ameriprise because I didn't want credit pulled and just feel like buying something inexpensive would be easier.

I've had shop4miles be slow too but later used it without any problems. My miles through Shop4miles took 6 weeks to post (Drugstore.com purchase). itunes is simple though and usually post bi-monthly.

Correct, but I did the insurance quote only because it was free miles. I didn't mind having my credit pulled.

I also did the LendingTree one as well.

Canadian i-tunes purchase

I'm getting worried now. I received 1 combined receipt for all 3 of our separately logged in i-tunes purchases.

This also keeps nagging me. At the i-tunes merchant page it says:

iTunes

Earn 3 miles per $2 spent!


But then underneath it says:


Merchant Details

Gift card and other purchases made at the Apple Online Store are excluded from this offer


1.Are there any canadians here that can confirm having received skymiles from i-tunes?
2. Is anyone seeing the same merchant details as I?

I had this happen on the US iTunes site as well. I still got the mileage reported to the correct network for each transaction.

Some of us don't own a car anymore and are just secondary drivers on a spouse's policy

Does anyone know where you call about missing credit in regards to a sears purchase?

It has been a month now and no credit on sears, ftd or 800flowers.

For sears call 888-570-2257

According to the girl at 800 flowers you have call them and they add the promo code and skymiles number to the order.

For FTD call 800 send ftd. You can expect a canned response of it takes 6 to 8 weeks for points to post YMMV

Thank you for the suggestion, didn't even think of it.

Shop4Miles has a policy that they won't transfer your miles until you earn 100 points (collectively over one or several transactions), which isn't useful if your goal is to purchase something on the cheap just for the promotion and get it transferred over quickly.

That is what confused me about their site. I got the 200 bonus points for signing up, yet they show me as having 1 pending mile for my iTunes purchase and sent an email saying that 1 mile should post to Delta. The bonus points seem to not be being addressed.

Points.com

I'm sure most people know this but Points.com is a very easy source for 10 points. just register and 10 points show up next day.

Hilton

My Hilton Honors account has been set up to receive Hilton points and then the double dip action gives even more Hilton points. I cant figure out how to turn them into Delta miles in order to continue my trek towards 20 partners. A little help would be much appreciated........Thanks.
