CAUTION: Buyer Beware! DOES NOT WORK TO GET EXP This way
A caution to anyone who may try this suggestion to earn LPs buying FTD bonsai trees and hoping they get credit as a large multiplier of LP's from FTD. The Original Poster (and others) posted back that it posts as bonus miles and not base, so no LPs are earned.

At this point I would suggest avoiding FTD like the plague. You're probably ok if you go through the AAShopping Portal but any other means (AA Promotion page, etc) is most likely only going to get you RDMs - if they post at all. If they don't post, getting ahold of someone at FTD who will do anything is practically impossible.

WOW. To be fair, it seems like it was a Healthy Choice promotion that applied to any airline? But I understand that back then AA awarded million miler points for any mile earned, not just butt-in-seat miles. Is that right? In any event, point well taken. 12,000 pudding cups to 127 bonsai trees, we've come full circle.

I remember when I worked for AirTran and had a promo of X number of pull-off coupons from Wendy's large sodas would equal a free ticket. There were people in Atlanta dumpster diving Wendy's at night, employees selling sleeves of cups, etc.
