Got a response from the Cottonelle Offer submitted yesterday
I used Forward function with the original offer email, add my MyPoints account details and the offer code from the invitation, attached a pdf file of the WM receipt and the invitation, sent it to the address as instructed.
Somehow the reply went to my secondary email address registered with Yahoo. Dont know why. But here is the response:
Thank you for contacting MyPoints Member Services.
Please be informed that the points will be credited to your account within 1 to 2 weeks.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
So the response is overnight, but the points may take weeks to show up on this go round. The points posted really quickly on the 1st go round based on posts here. I hope this time it would not take longer than indicated. Unfortunately I did not partake the 1st round - wasn't paying any attention but now I view it as UA miles earning opp so I am motivated.

It seems that they are perhaps getting away from the overnight posting of points with a 5 day pending period and holding off on posting the points. I think it would be better to post and just have a longer pending period.

Submitted the Shout offer from Sam's Club and had an e-mail the next day indicating that the points were posted, the usual 5 day pending period applies. However, I still don't have the points posted from the second Cottonelle offer, though it hasn't been two weeks since I got the e-mail from them saying it would be 1-2 weeks for the points to be posted.

That Shout offer sounds pretty great. Might have to consider becoming a Sam's Club member.

I'd wait a little before emailing about Cottonelle, since the CS agent who receives an "early" email within the 2-week window is likely to just point out that it hasn't been enough time and pass the buck. If you wait until Monday, you can start requesting immediate action.

You can get a one day membership. Just go to the membership desk. When I went the folks behind the desk didn't know that was possible. They needed a supervisor to show them how to do it, but it is possible. You will pay 10% over the posted price, but the one day membership is free. My Shout purchase was $9.88. Not bad for 500 United miles. Plus, I will use the product (unlike the Raid that I bought at the Wall).
We would never use the Shout product, but we found someone at work with kids in sports and sold it to them at a discount from what we paid.

I sent in the second Cottonelle and second Glade offer yesterday. The Glade offer points have posted with a 5 day pending period. On the Cottonelle offer, I received the same e-mail that it would take 1-2 weeks for the points to post.
My points is my main way to get United Miles - Office Depot is usually my favorite set of points. I wait until I need at least $100 of supplies (for my business) and order for 1,000 points.
