7. Each Member may purchase or receive no more than 100,000 Miles in any calendar year. Any Miles beyond this limit will not be posted any Member's account, even if payment has been remitted for such Miles.
No one is answering my question on another thread, so I will try here, sorry: When MP has sales on personal miles, does everybody get the same offer, and at the same time, or do they target certain people at different times and with different offers? I ask because there were cases in the past when people here were talking about a sale/offer, but I had gotten no notice of it. However, at other times I do get sale notifications. In 2012, I got one offer in January and a different one in February. The first one was for 15% off and the second one was for 20% off.
