I did find a $22 hotel (Atlanta area) and happily made a bunch more.

Asia Miles over

i think the priceline to asia miles party is over.... points.com to asia miles is hit or miss over weekends and with the long US weekend i doubt any transfers done from friday 5pm on would post until june. may 31 is the last day for double miles so anyone who wants to try this is taking on some risk.


good luck to all and thanks for to the OP!!

rich

Obviously you made much more reservation than I do. Anyway, I was able to up to 4 reservations for the same hotel and date. The only thing I did was to change the reservation name to different persons. Also it was frustrating that I have to wait 15-20 mins just to get the bid result, which make the process a pain. So which Atlanta hotel did you use?

Yes, points.com does seem to run the conversion over weekends. But as long as you initial the conversion, it's the date points.com use for the record.

I agree-- I think that would be the case too.

The $22 Atlanta hotel was in Norcross (or something like that.) Yes, I went a bit nuts with the priceline->AsiaMiles thing-- couldn't help myself-- them miles was CHEAP. Didn't think to change reservation name... should have. In any case-- I think I'm done (and darn close to the 250,000 miles max anyway )

Oh, and, Thanks to MazdaMP !! ^^

i think points.com is based in canada, and there ain't no holiday on the 31st here, so hopefully i can still do transfers on the 31st.

d'oh! i just checked points.com to read the t&c and the asiamiles offer is gone . gotta call 'em up to see if the offer is still valid.

It better be!!!! At least for transfers already initiated and/or done before the 31st. I got quite a few miles waiting to be doubled...

points.com customer service is closed on all US and Canadian holidays. You are certainly entitled to double mile for any transfers made up to 31 May, but you can avoid any potential hassle by getting the transfers done before the weekend.

weekdays anything points to asia miles happens in seconds. weekends it could be seconds or days. not sure why though.

Missing Premier Health points

Has anyone gotten a response from [email protected] or have a phone number for Metareward? I have emailed them 3x over a 20 day period about not getting points for Premier Health points and have gotten zero reply. At least Premier Health answers my emails but they tell me talk to Ebay for the points. This level of customer service is non existant and makes me leery of doing any more offers of Ebay Anything if points won't credit.

Any advice? Thanks.

Mine also posted today, 14 days after the trade, as did my Netflix points from joining on May 4th and getting billed on May 18th, 9 days ago. Maybe today was the day to run a batch of transactions through.

I signup up for PremierHealth, Ancestry.com, Audible.com, Consumerinfo.com and New York Times on May 8th. Everything posted promptly except the New York Times points. I wrote a detailed e-mail to [email protected], attaching my NYT subscription confirmation, on Monday and got the following [unsatisfactory] reply:

--------------------------------
Hello,

Credits are uploaded every friday and typically take 48 hours
to appear in a member's account.

*Please Note:

In order to receive the points, you MUST have the following email
addresses
in sync -

-Anythingpoints
-Ebay
-Paypal

If not, the credits will not post.


thank you for your assistance,


XXXXX
Member Services
XXXXXXXXXX
------------------

Fortunately, my e-mail address was the same for the services in question, but it would be nice if they specified that ahead of time. I then contacted eBay customer support, and the reply wasn't a whole lot better:

-------------------
Hello XXXXXX,

I have sent your points request to one of our Anything Points
Specialists, and they will look into this for you. As soon as I hear
back from them, I will email you and let you know what they discovered.
We hope to have this resolved for you soon.

Again, I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. Thank
you
for your patience and thank you for using eBay.

Regards,

XXXXXXXX
eBay Customer Support

-----------

That was several days ago, and I still haven't heard anything

450 FREE AA Miles to add to this scheme

Go to USAirway and open a DividenMiles Account. Login to update your profile and get 1000 Miles to receive your statement via Email.....

Those miles take 3 weeks to post but in 3 weeks you can still transfer them for 450 eBay Anything points and take AAdvantage of the double AA Miles Promo....

Enjoy!!!
