I did the stamps promo before it got pulled and when most people said it took just a few days for their miles to show, mine did not. So I got impatient and called UR and they kinding deposited 2500 for the inconvenience and then said they would investigate it regardless, saying they did want to honor the program if I had signed up for it. (All screen shots were saved). They said if I got the miles on top of the courtesy, I could just enjoy both. Cancelling stamps took 2min tops, emails confirmed cancellation. I did not waste my time with the $5 free postage. After the courtesy post, I dont care if the actual stamps promo even shows, I've moved on.

The insurance quotes are 50/50 in my book for waste for reward.

Hearing how many miles you lose converting audience rewards to miles puts it as a waste.

Dining works for me, because I get easy miles for eating where I would have once a week anyway.

I deleted Mypoints after the 750 sign up came through. Careful of UA, they claim its 500 miles, but its listed at 750 on their own darn website even today. Man they have some real "winners" working that airline.

CO is a crappy ... program to get your tedious 100 promos from, way too much work for something you sign up for right through their website. They have the same lazy old farts running their missing mileage department who have had their butts cemented into their seats for way too long now, and who that I sincerely hope they get shown the door after the merger completes. (UA is NOT much better in my opinion).

I wont touch teleflora again, screwed me out of 3000 miles - again CO! Its been months I've been dealing with CO's b.s. back and forth story of "please send us receipts, etc" Five times they have had receipts, screen shots, and you can't get through to a supervisor. There's not enough population control (nor birth control) in the world.

And then there's the Sittercity fiasco.... dont get me started...!

I more enjoy card sign up bonuses.

(did you strike a nerve?)
