But the crediting takes place a couple of months after the original purchase, it isn't immediate.

Can you confirm that this still work?

Has anyone managed to order 130AM Dummy Brand? Otherwise it'll have to go up to 390AM for the Macau Dog Hospice:

Club Bravo and Dummy Brand don't work?

Carbon offsets still work.

It won’t let me paste the link but start with the one a few posts up (that I said didn’t work), click on “see other sections”, click on FAQ, enter an origin and destination and then move slider.

i paid 9.48 HKG on 9/8.
10 miles posted on 9/30

expiration date now March 31, 2027

I tap "make another contribution" and it doesn't work.

Edit: I think I've found it, but your post indicates a long lag! My miles are expiring in under 10 hours (HKT)!

You need to get to FAQ in the dropdown menu (“see other sections”.) after clicking make another contribution.

i updated my instructions.

You mean you have to make a payment (albeit a very small one), and earn a small amount of miles three weeks later?

I mean that's fine, but I think lsquare may be looking for something that will post sooner.

I'm assuming it's confirmed that that method won't save my expiring points?

Yes, shopping portals still work,
but you are at the mercy of the posting date which varies from 2 - 8 weeks

Buying a toy plane at CX shop at CityPlaza posted 4 weeks

Time crunch! Less than 7 hours until they expire. I guess this won't save me?

Do you know?

Club Bravo - designated Standard Chartered Cathay Mastercard cardholders? Who are those?

Dummy - well. can you pay 130 AM?

I can pay the 130 AM, but will it immediately extend the validity of my miles?

I wanted to say if Dummy debits, it should be fine.

But what if it reinstates your miles tomorrow? Then you properly should lose your 5,000 miles because you haven’t carried out any transactions within 18 months.

If you aren’t keen on gambling on Dummy then the Macau Dog Shelter should be an immediate debit that won’t be challenged after it is made.

I don't understand. Aren't these transactions immediate, or is there also a multi-week lag?

Why is the Macau Dog Shelter immediate?
