Well mates, Thank you SOO much!!

All the methods shown here by all posters are great ones and I did not even know (but should have) that dining is one of them. I may use it since in my experience they actually do tend to post within 2-3 weeks.

That said, I did the quoted posters ideas first and I have done 2 of the 3 surveys found so I could only get 100 points but hey that's something! And then I went to the coke thing, which I am new at but had 250 points, and voila! Got 500 more PC!

8 Jan 2012 PRIORITY CLUB BONUS VOUCHER 500 pts.
500 pts.
8 Jan 2012 EARLY ENGAGEMENT BONUS OFFER 100 pts.
100 pts.

Now I am literally 150 PC points short of goal.

Now I know one can buy for points and I might just do that if I must. I know there's even back door ways sometimes (as referred by the posted above hehe--which I HAVE done to get to this point in fact!). But I will first try dining. Dont have e rewards and was under the impression it's scammy, and even if it set it up tomorrow I may not have enough er $ to send over. I have no idea though, nor do I know how long it would take to post.

but yeah, the above activity posted RIGHT AWAY!!!

that's like... HOW it should work! The total oposite of Cartera and the airline malls. This is what computers are FOR! I am like... like... ya know?

Ok. so... now I will dine and if it posts in time I am in. If not, I will probably end up buying.

I need 30k to start my goal. I find in some cases the off season location of where I will be can still be bookable within only a couple weeks of stay, but yeah, to be safe I may need to jump the gun here. Long story but money had already been spent so that's why I was less inclined to buy anything else--but I still may end up doing it.

So thanks again all and I will report back!

If I can grab 150 points somewhere or if I buy or do something else, you will know.
