Checkpoints
Anyone have this happen when scanning barcodes for CheckPoints:
Was at Wal-Mart and was scanning a bottle of water and the following conversation ensues:
Worker: Excuse me sir, what are you doing?
Me: Huh?
Worker: You can't take pictures in here.
Me: I'm just scanning the barcode.
Worker: Okay, well, you just need to know you can't be taking pictures in here.
Don't know if this is a blowback from the People of Wal-Mart website or what.

How often do the items change? I've noticed all 4 supermarkets near me have the same items listed, and some don't carry any of the items on the list at all. It's getting kind of redundant going into Publix every time I can to scan the same 10 items or so and leaving. Do they ever change items?

Pardon me for interrupting the conga, but I have to chime in on their points redemption problems. Quite simply, they don't do it. I had over 5,000 points. Every....single.....one....of them was legitimate. No location spoofing, no paper bar codes....all legitimate points. I redeemed them for an Amazon gift card. About a week later I got the "you cheated" email. After checking the app reviews I see that this is happening more and more.
Words can't describe how ticked I am at this company so beware.

AA miles are now available. 500 AAdvantage miles for 3750 Checkpoints.
But, both Delta and Alaska miles have been removed from the redemption list.
Just today I arrived at over 8100 Checkpoints, ready to redeem for 1000 Alaska miles - but alas, they're gone. Darn.
I'm sorry for the above poster who got dumped by the site and I've really been frustrated lately because the site has been so erratic, but I've been able to cash in for lots of DL and AS miles during the year and a half I've been using the site.
Mods: would it make sense to start a second thread, keeping the conga for congas and the new thread for posts such as this one? There are several hints for using the site that might be helpful, but would clog up the conga.

I just looked and Delta is still there. Change the tab to "Travel".
