[B]I made purchases on the worldperks mall at Eddie Bauer, Gift certificates.com and JCPenneys between the 27th and 30th of August. The Eddie Bauer and gift certs posted before the deadline date but all 9 of the JCPenneys did not post until 8/1/2002, ]</font>
I think you meant between the 27th and 30th of JULY.
Did you get a confirmation email from JC Penney? A copy of this email showing your purchase before the deadline may help. After all you had until July 31 to make the purchase.
