Only thing I can find is 500 miles upon signup for AS mileage program, not sure what everyone referencing 3000 AS miles in this thread is talking about.

I am registered to receive miles instead of points for Priority Club hotel stays. I don't see how this should affect my participation in this promotion, but does anybody see any reason why I wouldn't get my 10,000 bonus points for doing 4 partner activities? I had no problem registering for the promotion, if it means anything.

As I've said previously, I'm strongly of the opinion that as long as you register by the evening of Oct 31st, in January the system will check for partner transactions on any date during the period. It's the earn-as-you-go promotions that require prior registration.

For those of you who have checked and are nervous that your restaurant.com date shows as 10/9/09, don't fret. I made a different purchase from the PC shopping mall (batteries.com) and my purchase date is also showing up as 10/9. Order date was 8/25 and I am certain there will be no problems.
I was hoping purchases from Office Max could be picked up at the store (like Office Depot) to avoid S&H fee if <$50 but no such luck. So $50 of HP printer toner is on its way for me.

I just went to points.com & was pleasantly surprised to find that transfers out of Greenpoints are now available after being stopped in ~Jan. 2008! So I've just used my measly 2000 Greenpoints to get a PC partner & also top off Aeroplan & Wyndham. Next time I shop for groceries I will use those Greenpoints to get a hit in USAir's Grand Slam promo

Only thing I can find is 500 miles upon signup for AS mileage program, not sure what everyone referencing 3000 AS miles in this thread is talking about.

(I've already transferred a few orphan US Air miles into PC points, so don't need the transaction.)

!I did not know that transfers had ever stopped for this program.
In any event, if one plans to travel to Manhattan and a limited number of other stores around NYC, one can sign up for a supermarket club card for D'agostino's. This will award 10 greenpoints per every $1 charged.
10 Greenpoints = 1 PC point
28 Greenpoints = 1 Delta or US Air mile
So go buy yourself a soda for the PC point or a carton of OJ for your FF miles.
Also, if you intend to be in the burbs of NYC, there are some D'ags there, but there is also another supermarket that has a like agreement with Greenpoints. It is called Foodtown.

Good Luck!

They pulled the plug a couple days early--see the thread in S.P.A.M.

How did the 1,000 point purchase appear??
I purchased 1000 a few days ago and now see 1,000 listed as points.com and cannot imagine any explanation other than the purchase appearing as points.com.
If so, this might end up counting as one partner with my points.com transfer also made the other day.

Is anyone showing pending transactions from restaurant.com that were done after 25 Aug? I am trying to figure out if they do a weekly sweep of all transactions. So far, the one I did on 27 Aug (might have been 26 Aug in the USA) still hasn't posted to the Pending screen.
