no I actually like the WP mall. I havent been enjoying the airline's marekting department's way of misshandling point postings, but I like the NW mall more than all others! I think NW has the most promos too but like I said, they sure have a problem managing them. I shouldnt complain though... I just tallied up my miles from the last one and they mistakenly gave me about 5k extra. I do not think they will take it back either. Long story but I guess their mistakes end up in my favor. What seriously worries me though, is that this sort of thing is why some other poster is all pipssed off that they DID take away HIS miles, meaning nwa really has to fix up their accounting of this sort of thing! I may have come out ahead today but in the end, we all lose. I was going to contact them and tell them but then they'd muck with my account and I would probably have to wait 12 more weeks to get what I should have gotten to begin with.

Anyway, In that one promo, it said you could spend ANY combination of mall purchases totalling $200 or more and mentions that you CAN in fact get gift certs in some merchants. Shipping is not included in the amount.

The promo I COULD sign up for of the two did not have a $ limit mentioned anywhere in print (and in my opinion, if you dont see the rule, it aint there! I hate it when if you call the airline they start to mention more rules that you could never find anywhere, and that are not available in the "*" fine print provided in the original marketing material sent out!), but what I did was to be safe and buy $200 worth of HD gift cards being mailed to me without shipping.
