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"

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.

I was going to pull the trigger on Blue Apron for the 5000 LP. Does anyone know of any credit card offers out there for Blue Apron. I know I saw one but can't find it on Amex.

How often can you get the same bonus? Is it every 12months? 24months? once a lifetime?
Example If i got the Blue Apron Bonus Jan 2022. After 2 months I cancelled it. Can i resign up today and get the bonus again?

I'm eager to see what happens with my Blue Apron. I ordered last year but because you have to pay first before you can select the menu and the shipping date, I ended up canceling it right away because it didn't work out. I never got a delivery but I got 2000 miles and LP. The miles were clawed back but the LP remained. So I'm hoping their clawback still makes me eligible for an actual fulfilled order this time.

Not seeing Blue Apron on the site this morning? made my first order a few days ago and put a hold on subsequent orders. if they left the program, might be interesting in the next 45 days to see if we all get our bonus!

I signed up on Tuesday and got kind of nervous because it was the one transaction that I didn't get a tracking email for this week (even though the order information was showing).... But then as soon as they pulled Blue Apron off, I got the email. I actually feel better now about getting the miles than I did when Blue Apron was still showing on the site. Also, my order information is kind of scrambled in the "block", so they may have just pulled them temporarily to fix an integration issue, but that's just a guess.

Blue Apron is (back) on the website. Mileage offer is now 3700 which is still much higher than their standard.

I decided to give it a shot with Blue Apron even though I had signed up last year.
I signed up on 4/6 and this morning the eshopping site shows the transaction with 5,000 LPs + miles in “pending” state.
Hopefully the miles will post to AA in a day or two.

I gave Blue Apron a shot on 4/6 and it shows under my store visits but not under recent ones. Did y’all get miles a few days after buying or after receiving the first order? I’m receiving mine today.

I would have signed up for Blue Apron at 5k LPs but unfortunately I had a longish trip coming up and did not want to mess with it. Bad timing.

Based on my recent experience, the miles are credited a couple of days after signing up regardless of when the first delivery is scheduled.
