I am hearing the exact opposite. Just received this email:
Good Afternoon!
Great news - We will extend the $1000 Loyalty Cards for the foreseeable future. The bloggers will be informed today as well.
Happy New Year and thank you for your business!
Won't specify name or location but the her title is Director of Marketing and Business Development.
Could it be location specific?

Well, I guess the front line CSRs are not kept in the loop. I just read the Frequent Miler blog and i now believe him more than the mall employee. Good news.

During precious $1k extensions employees haven’t been notified until the day or two before program expiration. Any employees saying it’s expiring is simply passing along information they know until Simon sends location managers info on the extension and it trickles down. At least the apocalypse has come and gone once again.

Went to the local Simon Mall in Tyler (Broadway Square) and they didn't have the 1000 VGC. Is that weird or are they possibly keeping it from me? I asked and she said they don't have any and that they only have the 500 ones.

I believe the only ones they can load with $1000 are the ones kept behind the counter (not the ones hanging on the rack). If they run out they need to replenish those, but they have to have someone bring them up from the office, or close the kiosk and go down and get them. One of those may not have been possible during this time I'm guessing.

you learnt the hard way why its a good idea to call 1st and make sure they have them. I do 1 further I tell them how many I want so that they put them aside least by the time I get there they ran out. But the later they will do once they get to know you. I know of a Mall that will sell just 1

So what is the merchant category/code of Simon Mall on Visa, Master, and Amex cards?
