I am not sure that this is the correct forum to put this in, but here it goes. As I have mentioned in other threads, I am a travel agent and every year I get my loyal clients a gift for the holidays. Since I have joined flyertalk, I realize that I can give myself a gift at the same time by receiving FF miles for purchases. Is there a company besides the usual florist-FTD, etc. I am looking for something on the order of a Harry & David or Crate & Barrel. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Have a Happy Hanukkah and a Ho,Ho,Ho, Merry Christmas.

I know you said Harry & David or Crate & Barrel...but Sharper Image is offering 4X Diner's Club points until 12/31 (8 points/$).

Here's the site: http://www.sharperimage.com/diners/

I usually send Omaha Steaks to my preferred clients & vendors. This year, I'll be taking advantage of the MyPoints Omaha Steaks points. Should get quite a few!

Cheers,

Thanks for the great suggestion. I found lots of sites to choose from at MYPOINTS. I may get enough miles for the 1st class trip to Hawaii that I have been saving for.

Well, I placed all my orders using the MYPOINTS as suggested. There were some great choices. However, one of the sites that I used one day was no longer advertised on mypoints the next day. After calling up before placing my orders on-line, they assured me that they are a participant in the MYPOINTS program and told me to call them up, because other people have had the same problem. Well, the best I could do was send them an e-mail. They have acknowledged the receipt of the e-mail and promise to give me an answer shortly. That was yesterday. The question in this long story is; Does anybody have a telephone number for MYPOINTS so I can call them. I know that was a link called "member something" I tried it and it kept kicking me off. Thanks for any help.

Do your clients a favor and skip Harry and David. My kids buy me their stuff every year and it is a rip. They pay $25 inc shipping for $5 worth of stuff - and, since I live in CA, my local Safeway's produce is better than their pears and apples. It pains me. I'd rather get wine!
