A result! I had an outstanding Hertz rental from a couple of weeks ago where the 500 BMI miles (corporate rate) hadn't yet appeared. I did a retroclaim on hertz.com yesterday asking for PC points instead and I just got an e-mail saying that 875 PC points were on their way.
That gets me to 4 - points.com, PC shopping, Amex MR and Hertz. Hope this does actually work for non-US residents!

I don't recall any language in the PC promotion stating that it was applicable to just North America residents -- therefore, it should work for you and others similarly situated.

I just talked to Restaurant.com customer support, they said they have no control how tracking goes.
I may order a $10 actual cert again for another $0.80 throw-away on Monday if the tracking still a no show, just to see how it works.

As a newcomer to partner bonuses, I signed up for points.com yesterday using the link provided earlier in the thread for 500 points. I then moved some AS points to Priority Club, naively thinking this would be a second activity. Both posted today as points.com - pretty obvious when I think about it, but not so obvious to me yesterday. Thus, I have one partner bonus and not two. fwiw

The pen thing is not going to work. I would need to spend $50 to get free shipping, I would pay $7.95 shipping on $1.99 box of pens. Instead I swapped 20 S&H Greenpoints for 2 PC points on Points.com.

I encourage those who do not want to buy points to consider the separate link for the Officemax option: http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/pc/...officemax.html
All of us need to buy ink and some other supplies from time to time and getting over the $50 threshold is not too onerous if you don't want to exercise some of the other options mentioned earlier.

How long does it take for the Office Max direct link to post?
Still no tracking on either of my husband's restaurant.com transactions. One was 24 Aug, one was 27 Aug. I think the first one was stuffed up because my name was on the Paypal account. The second one, I made sure his name was on it and did screen shots. Maybe they do a weekly sweep to get the posting info to show up in the Customer Service link. I did a query and got the same form email as the other poster.

Avon has plenty of lip balms available for 99 cents or less. If you know an Avon rep you can get a free shipping code. I am not, but if you don't know anyone, I can refer you to my sister in law. PM me.
You access the Avon website through her link, place your order with the free shipping code, but do not check out. Just leave the item in your shopping cart.
You then access the Avon website again through the PCR Shopping link and complete the purchase.

Therefore, soitgoes suggested it does not hurt to make a smallish AS miles or whatever you have, transfer to PC points just to make sure. I did a 6 AS miles to 2 PC pts on top of the 500 PC pts bonus.

We dont know. It shows up as from Points.com, just like Swap and Purchase PC pts - that leads me to think there are some Internal accounting / ID codes to differentiate the nature of the posting - otherwise, how can the system distinguish a Point purchase (processed by points.com) and a Swap?

Calculate how much it would cost for you to do a "double" transfer -- Enough of the PC points that you got from the sign-up into:
1). Another of the Points.com partners, and
2). Then transfer from that partner back to your PC Points.com account!
If you are going to do the above maneuver, you first must figure the minimum number of points in the program you transfer into that are sufficient to generate 1 PC club point in the "back" transfer. Once this is determined, then you can calculate just how many PC points will be needed in the first transfer into the other Points.com partner that will be necessary to accomplish the "back" transfer.
Admittedly you are going to lose PC points in the process, but if you don't have an AS account or any other account you wish to use, then this is a decent option if you are looking for PC points from this promotion just to have some presence in the program -- like me -- keeping a reserve back-up of points should you need them in the future if the other hotel programs you are a member of are not suitable for your needs in a given area with PC coverage.
Query: -- Is there a sign-up bonus for joining AS, and if so, how much is it, and does anybody have a link? Thanks!

Only thing I can find is 500 miles upon signup for AS mileage program, not sure what everyone referencing 3000 AS miles in this thread is talking about.
