I purchased 1k miles yesterday morning (~7am EST) and they posted with the correct date on my account.

Question about e-rewards mileage posting

I have a question about E-rewards. I signed up a couple of weeks ago using a promo offer from US which awarded me 500 miles after completing my first survey. The miles in question did post yesterday, 09/14, but the activity date shows 09/13. Does this count as a hit for the purpose of GS 2011?

Thanks . This is all new to me and there is ton of information. Read the FAQ on posted as a sticky. But will go the GS11 rules.

I guess this is addictive as well :-)

That would not count as a hit for GS 2011 since the activity date is before 9/14. You can try calling USDM Customer Service, but I don't know if you'll have any luck.

Just got my first 2 hits.

-At 1044 EST I purchased 1000 DMs. Since I don't have any miles in MY DM account this will prime the pump for a magazine purchase later...
-At 1046 EST I transferred $25 credit from e-Rewards.

Will do a few more this evening, to include 3 hotel transfers and tix for some highbrow poetry reading in CLT.

That's too bad. I was hoping that this would not be the case, and that only the posting dates mattered. No point calling customer service, since the rules are clear. Thanks Starflyer

For the freebies or where products come and go from a merchant, I understand the urgency. But otherwise I don't understand the rush to get all your hits in as quickly as possible. The miles post eventually. There's always worry about activity dates but there really have been very few partners that have screwed this up in previous years.

My situation: I have family with October and early November birthdays. So I'll wait on the FTD or 1800 Flowers hits. I will be in a smalltown USA for several nights in early November - some hotel hits will come from 4 nights of hotel hopping. I don't need anything from Amazon today but will certainly purchase something in the next 60 days.

So while I've got over a dozen so far, most of those came from no additional out of pocket cost hotel transfers or other freebies. And Biscoff. I needed more of the spread. The rest will come over the next two months. I can wait for my full 80K miles (or more, maybe) to post.

I'm up to 20 hits – $229 spend

I have six "free" hotel hits during the next two months. After that it might get too pricey to be worthwhile.

Mind if I ask what you got from 1800 Flowers for just over $15??
