Check your Orbitz Orbucks activity for a bonus

It appears they stuffed your stocking with surprise $10 or $20 on Sep.4 - that may expire Oct.4 or Nov.4 !!

They topped up my account so I have $20 in total. Thanks for the heads up.

I used it over the weekend, but just thought it was from other purchases.

I got $10 expiring 10/2, and didn't notice. Fortunately I did redeem for the one booking I got on the Masterpass promo...otherwise I likely wouldn't have been able to use it even if it knew it was there. (Better to not know and let it be the tree that falls when no one is there to hear it.)

You can always add your orbucks to awardwallet which will alert you if there's a change.

These are likely from the We'll Reward You for That promo that ended the week of 9/7. (Mentioned by bgriz18)

I earned $30 and $30 posted as such.

yes. ^ I love Award Wallet. It let's you know when they going to expire too - promo Orbucks have a short lifespan, usually 60 days, earned ones have like a year I think.

LINK to free upgrade thread : http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/s-p-m...pgrade-64.html

and no bonus for me - I never get free Orbucks.

Yes I also got only 3 of 8 about 10 days ago and chatted them today and now have managed to get 4 of 8 instead of the 8 I completed. Not sure whether this is normal as they have not posted the rest for anyone but I wasted too much time on trying to find and post pics (and find a time when their promo site was not crashed, which was not easy) and now am wasting too much time chasing the Orbucks....

I also got the bonus for the first three photos. I think the rest will simply post in a few weeks.
