Notes about Giftcards.com:
- A separate thread exists for discussing Giftcards.com and likely has more data points than this generic thread.
- Purchases from giftcards.com earn miles on the first $2,000 spent in the named calendar month, meaning for example between March 1st and March 31st.
- Giftcards.com has had various limits over the years, and it was always by calendar month.
- Some data points show the $2,000 monthly limit is not always enforced.
- In 2022, larger orders track more slowly, and you may need to wait a full month to see miles.

We're sorry. This code has been used too many times."
Maybe will start working again... SO CLOSE to AA Executive Platinum...

Question about multiple purchases. I added three new lines to my Verizon Wireless account. 6200 LP for a new line. Here's the terms. Would you have expected 6200 X 3 or just 6200. I don't see it limited to one. I got 6200-very fast. If 6200 is right, that's good. But I'd love 6200 per new line.

So I noticed that your shopping history can only go back two years, and I have been successful at getting new bonuses from some stores that are stated as a one-time bonus for new customers. Is two years the tracking cutoff for repeat bonuses, or is it shorter? Wondering if anyone has any data points or experiences.

I had one order that had tracked properly in the portal with the correct spend amount and order number or anything, but the points never posted. Thats the only one I had looked into, usually I just assume the points will post if I get the shopping portal tracking email :|.

Wine -- try more than once?
Im 20k from exec plat. Thought about doing Verizon business for the 10k and just eating the $65 dollars (maybe more for the 45 day requirement)
but what about cycling back through the wine services and trying for round 2? anyone tried repeat offers?
