T'was great while it lasted!
Not only did my gift cert points post (although the last batch I ordered on 12/31 only posted @ 40 pts/$ and they had to manually correct it to 120 pts/$), but they transferred over into my mileage account WITH A 10% BONUS which I'm sure is a mistake...
I forwarded the opportunity with clearly explained directions to several friends, who forwarded it to several friends, and I heard back that one person bought $8k in Home Depot gift certs since he was remodeling his home anyway... always nice to know you've done someone a service!
