I got in a purchase in the week leading up to the ending. Thankfully, Sears had a digital camera that was backordered in a bunch of other places (plus, they had a 5% off sale running, and free shipping). I didn't need the camera yet for some upcoming photo jobs, but the whole fact that I was able to get 12,500 airmiles for it made it worth it. That's half a domestic ticket! Sad to see this go, as it was a HUGE mile maker.

I bought two nice bottles of champagne for myself from FTD, at a small premium over wine.com, a month before the program ended. Spent $500 and earned 50 miles per dollar. Not a bad deal for two bottles of Cristal (plus two small boxes of Godiva that came with the bubbly) and 25,000 miles.

Sorry if this's been covered before, but I bought something ($109) from Sears about a month ago.
I saw this posted in my account

I should get 1090 miles due to the double miles promotion. Do you know if they post the miles in two installments?

Which I suspect is why they discontinued this program.

I thought the same thing! That seems like an amazing way to load up quick!

Well..they have lost a lot from me:
1-I use MR web portal for purchases as it seems better than UA/CO's payouts now
2-I dumped the Chase credit card..no need for it anymore.
So they lost due to the loss of double miles.

CO and Chase have lost at least $20,000 in spend from me each year.

Well, this week I got my most recent statement containing the last of my "twice the miles" purchases.
Surprisingly, one of them was a Dell.com buy for 3k miles from December 2010 that finally made it in.
I'll really miss those bonus miles.....bye bye.

I am still waiting on a drugstore.com purchase I made back on 7/1/11 during the twice the miles promotion. I have e-mailed [email protected], but have yet to receive a response. I wish I knew about the FTD champagne gig. I would have been all over that.

My July purchases haven't post yet either. I'm going to give it another 2 weeks before I start filling out the missing miles form
