I did not really read all the rules when I signed up. I did notice that like another recent NWA promo, HD was NOT in fact listed on the stores shown in the initial register page. I know it's a NWA mall merchant and I know that with NWA at least, they specifically do say you can get miles for purchases of GCs at HD or GC.com, but if the merchant is not listed in the ones the promo wishes you to use, then does this mean it's not doable or does this just mean they only listed a sample of them?

Of course, if the rules clearly do indicate, as they often have with their promos, an actual mention of GCs at HD or GC.com, then one would think this does in fact mean you can use those stores. However, this being NWA mall, there could very well be a discrepancy and you would find yourself battling to get miles someone would eventually tell you you never should have gotten to begin with. The reason wont be because you bought a GC, although many here and some in the mall's own employ may mistakenly think so, rather, the reason may be because they used a boiler-plate set of rules commonly associated with most promos and there never was a way to earn the miles at HD with this particular promo even when you assumed you could because of the rule.

Make sense?
Well, if you think we can in fact earn there, I will be buying a GC or two anyway from them, and hey, if I get 500 more miles then that's great. If not, I will have to chalk it up as me being unfortunately correct about the above instead of my falling into one more failure of their inability to post.

Sadly, I am basically done with chasing them. Hence, I have significantly tapered my use of their mall. (It's all run thru skymall now anyway so goooooood luck chasing!) and I figure over time others may do this to the point where the airline feels the impact.

Oh wait--they have!... they are merging with Delta anyway, so this means we will be lucky to get any nwa promo points soon.
