In a way, I'm glad it's over. I never was a big dog but more of a 16-20k consistent between BB and MO each month. This month will be my biggest ever around 60 or 70k.

I had 200 miles post on July 18, dated July 17. I do five Bluebird online loads of $200 each month, maybe it's connected with one of those loads. Like the prior poster pointed out, not sure why this was deposited since they normally post miles at the beginning of the month (my prior activity posted July 7, dated July 3).

Interesting. From my experience online BlueBird loads did not produce skymiles so I stopped doing them several months ago. Mine would have been a combo of BlueBird WM loads (5k) and MO's plus regular purchases. Just hope that doesn't mean I won't get credit for this week! We got a big week coming up! Last one!
Online BB loads have always gotten me points up to and including last month.

Since manufactured spend seems to be prohibited by the terms and conditions, and at least a few folks have made extensive use of that apparently sometimes not monitored quasi-cash transaction type, should be interesting to see what happens on the 25th.
Who knows, this excess may have triggered Sun Trust to severely tighten the oversight as they drastically reduce the miles options for all existing non-Advantage checking (25k min bal) customers on the 25th. That would be a real shame for most of us who actually try to respect the pretty clear intent concerning purchases vs cash recycling of the terms and conditions contract we agreed to.
