I have no doubt that people get greedy, but he has been on here all morning telling people it won't work. Also, the way he worded it, he's joking.

I took a screenshot and video capture as well - I'm in for this deal, for better or for worse. It's just too good to pass up!

Are anyone else's purchases not showing up in the Shopping Mall?
I wonder if it takes a bit of time to post . . .
Moreover, my credit card with which I registered for the Mall reads "Activation Requested" under the "Registered Cards" Category . . .
Is this happenin' for anyone else?
Edit: Ohhhhhhhhhh, crap.
"Once your card is in Active status it is eligible to earn miles." From the site - plus, it takes 48 hours (minimum) to become active.
My damn AA cards (which were pre-registered) are sitting at home! Arrrgghhh!

He was obviously joking but his joke really does point out how absurd this whole thing is: $100 for 1.6+ million miles. Wouldn't be counting too many chickens in that scenario.

Reading the FAQ and "How it Works" sections, the registered cards seem to only be used for in-store shopping. You can register a card with AA shopping, then make an in-store purchase at a brick and mortar to earn miles. I don't think it is required for online shopping through the AA portal.

How would AA know that I completed my purchase?
I clicked on the "Buy Now" link, got sent to Verizon website, put in all of my shipping/billing/credit card info, completed transaction and that was it. The transaction isn't appearing under "My Account" either. Did I _miss_ something?

Anyone else not seeing their purchase recorded in the AA Mall?

So I noticed I had to register my CC with AA eShopping under "My Account", which I just did _after_ completing the transaction. I suppose this must be one of the requirements? lol Did I mess it up?
I am in for 1 ($4.97). Didn't want to get greedy and not really expecting the miles but at this price, hey, jump in first, ask questions later!

Not saying this will pan out for sure. But don't we all remember how expedia canada credit $200 or $300 (whatever it was) to each of our credit cards just like they said they would. We all went charge happy, I think I booked some 7-8 trips. They could have easily "not credited" the amount they said they would. But they did. Not everything has a happy ending. But this is FT, we do silly things which is why we come out ahead "in aggregate".
