For points.com, any restriction for "Swap 3 Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles for 1 Priority Club® Rewards points"?
(If no, I will join AS with 500 bonus).

It require to have 25,000 AA miles or AA status to do 2:1 transfer to Priority Club.

If so, this might end up counting as one partner with my points.com transfer also made the other day.
Both the purchase and the transfer appear as points.com with no further details. We think that they have some internal coding to differentiate between a transfer and a purchase, otherwise how can they offer both as a potential partner? I initiated the 1000 point purchase from the PC website, not points.com.

I dont think there is a sweep as the one I did on Aug 25 showed up the next day when others reported the tracking. The one I did on hubby's account on Aug 26 afternoon never shows up. I suspect it will not ever show up.

I ordered an Avon body lotion in 1.90 total instead.

Many thanks to margaritagirl for her help. I wish I have read her post before ordering the Restaurant.com throw-away.

To share common experiences, I

1) Ordered restaurant.com certificate, don't see the transaction showing up (maybe has to do with using a discount code/paypal?)
2) Got a code from margaritagirl for free shipping on two lip balms ($1.38) and
3) Bought points from PC, and transferred points from AA, and both show up as points.com transactions- have sent email to PC cust service to confirm that these count as two separate partners- will post reply if/when I get it.

When I transferred 100 AA miles, I only got 42 PC points- not 2-1, even though I have over 25,000 AA miles and am Gold. No restrictions on the 500 AS miles to 172 PC points, which I did just for the extra points (trying to get to Platinum).

restaurant.com should still track even with the 80% discount code - mine did. I also used Paypal.

Since it's the beginning of the month, no. If you wait a couple of weeks, the discount codes will start appearing -- the 80% is generally offered towards the end of the month.

The is always a code of some sort. I believe "ALL" gives 50% off anytime.

Did the Avon body lotion show up right away?

Correct. My first one used the 80% code also, and it showed up the same time you alerted us the tracking.

But the one I placed for hubby's account, using identical method, never shows up. I even went to a different computer, for fear the cookie would track wrongly and put the purchase into my own PC account... like others on AA forum reported such issues with AA shopping mall...

The Avon purchase has not tracked yet but at least I bought something I would actually use.

No.

But the Skin So Soft lotion is a brand we use, especially for outdoor, due to its unexplicable insect repellent effect. At 1.90 w/tax and 0 shipping for an 8oz bottle, it is cheap. I found it under clearance section.

No -- the online mall counts as 1 partner, so only the first of those would work; the rest would be wasted.

I am not sure if my old post http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/s-p-m...es-hotels.html is still valid, but this maybe an option to get another free activity via travellingconnect (is it a legitimate partner for this promo?). I've got my 100 PC points for sign up in February, but they might improve their system after that.

the 100 miles are not valid anymore. I registered shortly after the post (March), but got nothing.
The page now says "all non-existing numbers will be removed"
