STINKY. I went the postcard route. Didn't buy anything but sent in postcards as permitted. Was supposed to get the same access as those people purchasing things. I ended up with 8 $2 statement credits and 4 1 year memberships. BFD. Barely paid for the postage.

Did you use 4 different amex cards? You're only supposed to get 1 shoprunner membership per card...

I haven't. I SM'ed them about it, and they haven't responded. It's been about a week since I SM'ed them.

I have teens that are into gaming so I've bought four separate $25 GameStop GC's on four consecutive days, so far I think my luck has been outstanding as I've received the following gifts:
1 $10 statement credit
1 $25 statement credit
2 $20 GameStop gift cards
Taking all that into account for $65 out of pocket I'll be getting $140 in GameStop GC's.

I have 12 Amex cards and made 120 purchases of $25.
Total gift haul is around $2,300 worth but I'm missing a few gifts thus far. This will be a HUGE mess to figure out if everything posts OK, but hey I'll take the free stuff
The two best individual gifts I received were 10,000 MR and $50 Amex GC plus share with three friends. The worst were $2.25 statement credits. I choose to shop at stores that didn't offer shoprunner as an option.

Whoops, sorry MIA. Won't link anymore. Anyways, here's what else I was saying.
WM, REI, and BBB are all in rollover mode, so on the first purchase you will get a Shoprunner, and every additional purchase you will get a $2 Statement, no matter what. That's all the gifts that are left for those retailers. I haven't bought anything from Rue La La in about 4 days, but last I got was a $10 Shareable. I'm spent on gifts, and have used all my Am Ex's.
