It will be interesting to see if AA will match status more than once. This feature is of no value to me, too bad they cannot arrange a BA match.

That help?

I'm still using it, but only for foreign currency transactions since it doesn't charge 3% like Citi or other MBNA cards as far as I know (and 2% for Amex).
I may not do real spending on it until late 2006, see if status match on AA for 2007 would be worth it. Losing Ritz is a big blow.

iPod Nano is listed in Merrill+ catalog . I surmise this has been a popular award because I also see this note ... All Apple iPod Nanos ordered on or before 11/23/05 will be in-home on or before 12/24/05.

Was super impressed today by Merrill+, I got a call regarding a points order I had placed for Xbox 360's.
When I placed it prior to release (was 6 Xbox 360's) it showed as being released within 1 week, it was then pushed back to next year, so I called and cancelled the order since I was going to be using them as Christmas gifts.
Today they called out of the blue, and offered me my choice of replacing the order and getting them in January with an extra controller and game with each, or 10,000 points per Xbox. I took the points, 60,000 extra points credited to my account today with the description of Good Will.
Very impressed...

I would have interpreted this to mean they were offering 10,000 point discount per unit for reinstating the orders, in lieu of the extra controller and game. It sounds like an error, rather than a "courtesy gesture", if you received 10,000 points per unit for cancelling.

I just got the letter as a Level 2 member and I gotta say I am very pleased with the 3 for 2 deal at LHW and R&C. It will be interesting though to see if we can book these on the cheapest lhw.com web rates.
In the fine print it says "Special rates and privileges are available at participating properties and based on availability. Restrictions and blackout dates may apply."
