I looked at Dominick's downtown today. They had plenty of the fondue at $8.99 (w/ the promotion) but no cheese wheels. I will check the one by my house (also downtown) today or tomorrow.

Jewel Central/Lawrence-no
Jewel Foster/Cumberland-no
Dominicks Nagle/Milwaukee-no
Whole Foods Sheffield/North-no
Whole Foods Ashland/Belmont-no
World imports Sheffield/North-had wheels but not promo
Treasure Island Clybourn/Armitage-had fondue but not promo
Dominick Park Ridge @ Higgins and Cumberland had the fondue with promo miles. But at $8.99/e = about 1.9c per mile. I bought 4 packs. There are about 10-15 packages left.

Thinking about doing a cheese-run to somewhere that has stores with wheels. If I see another Laughing Cow I'll.....

I contacted Emmi USA about the promo, and they said that it is planned to end during the first week in January (not sure of the exact date).

I have contacted a few other merchants about buying in bulk. I will let you all know what prices and quantities them come back to me with.
I wonder if we could cut a deal with Emmi USA where they get to keep the cheese but just sell the codes for a half price or something

I'd also be interested in a bulk buy.
Haven't found any with promos in San Francisco yet.

I'd also like to participate in the bulk buy. Went to stores around my area (Safeway, Albertson's, Costco) - they have the fondue but no AA promotion. Since many of them don't seem to come with the promotion, it may be wise to let the distributor know that we're only interested in the ones with the AA promotion, if you haven't already.

Count me in the bulk buy if you are planning to do one.
I cleaned out my three of my local Albertsons (alas, only $50 worth of Swiss Knight cheese wheels @ $4.99 ea) for a total of 5000 miles. It's also a pretty good snack to share with your co-workers.
