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. [Note: as of Aug 2023, the $2k limit is per order, not per purchase]
- 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. [Note: as of Aug 2023, the $2k limit is per order, not per purchase]
- In 2022, larger orders track more slowly, and you may need to wait a full month to see miles. Strong advice from the thread is to make multiple small purchases (say under $300) rather than large ones to avoid the dreaded "manual review"
Some anti-virus software silently blocks tracking, and you may want to consider disabling it for your purchase.

Did you have to keep the Blue Apron account open for 45 days and order every week for this to credit?

In my 3 experiences last year, no. Order first week, skip subsequent weeks until 45 days then cancel. Easy.

For Blue Apron, is 5,000 points a good amount for the company? or should I try to hold out later for possible higher points?

Could it go higher? Sure. GC.com could come back tomorrow too, but I'm not holding my breath.

Has anyone gotten LPs for Blue Apron twice (i.e. signed up last year and signed up this year as well, using two separate email addresses)?
The terms say "Eligible on one (1) subscription per loyalty account number."

Signed up on Blue Apron. So when should I cancel? After first delivery?

Vivid Seats
Anyone have experience with Vivid Seat purchases made through the AA eshopping site? My wife purchased concert tickets about 2 weeks ago for a show in late June. The eshopping site shows the store visit, but does not show anything regarding the purchase or $ spent. She followed her usual procedures (same browser, same login, etc.) as her previous purchases through other merchants that posted successfully.
I'm wondering if Vivid Seats purchases are handled similar to Viator purchases where you don't get LPs until after the event happens.
