Luckily, I don't have either of those. So, I will also take your offer of 10,000,000 to 1 then? I bet you one shiny dollar coin to your $10 million.

This could be a lucky day for me. Anybody want $0.50 of my action?

I think we all know it is very low probability. Luckily, we're getting great implied odds here, so it's worth the risk. It's unlikely, but certainly not "no way".
Ahh, the Dumb and Dumber principle:
(slightly paraphrased...) Beautiful Woman: "The odds of me going out with you are probably around 1 in a million."
An excited Dumb or Dumber: "So you're telling me I have a chance!"

Why? Large purchases like this are unlikely to help our fight...

Let's be prepared to launch a Twitter & social media assault. There are 115 of us who have lifetime Platinum status with Fairmont because we stood strong, stuck together, in unison. Together as one. FlyerTalk. ^

OK - gonna ask again. I clicked on the item after taking a screenshot - it took me to Verizon - I placed the order for the Palm Docking Charger. I received a confirmation of sale from Verizon.

I had to re-enter CC information - so how do I know that this went through the AA portal for sure???

Yes . . . and, did anyone use a card they had just registered, as well?

I wonder if the Mall will award miles to cards that will just registered. I'm thinking no, but wanted to see if someone had experience with it.

I tried to cancel actually and it's already shipped. Verizon wrote back saying that i have to refuse the package now, ha.

Same here. The worst that can happen now is I get another Touchstone for my Palm for $5. I'll take it.
