Ditto. By the way if someone is looking for a cheap shopping option with good ROI (assuming you don't actually have to buy anything through the portal), trial subscriptions to The Economist are now being offered for 12 bucks at a 1200 miles flat earning rate. Pretty good deal if also done as part of the 5K challenge...just remember to cancel your subscription before 12 weeks if you don't actually want the magazine!

Newbie question related to this: I'm also seeing Staples Copy and Print in the portal -- does that mean I can upload a document to copy for a dime and it will count as my shopping item?...nothing against The Economist but it would be great to do this cheaply and easily...

As a heads up for anyone who has never used aa.com/cars (I hadn't until just now), it lets you enter your normal AWD & Wizard numbers for an Avis booking. So there doesn't seem to be any downside to it (not that there is any reason apart from this promo to use it). Nothing in AA's promo terms appears to restrict use of AWD codes, etc.

It took me about 10 days to receive my rental credit. The only obvious one to post in a timely manner was the AA flight. Everything else has taken over a week each.

Has anyone else had a bookaahotels.com stay yet? I stayed on July 24 and haven't seen the miles yet; everything else has posted.

Yep, posted without a problem, although I recall on stay, not reservation. Only the shopping portal to go for me, where i have historically had posting problems.

Would this "Fly more, get upgrades or bonus miles" promotion show up under the promotions button in my account if I'm eligible, is there a link, or does it come from a targeted email? I looked in my promotions and my partner's, and neither of us have it.
