If you click Product Details, it says there that you only get 13 miles. Not sure this is worth the risk....

I asked verizon chat and they said its $35 for this also, not just phones even though the T&C's seem to make it just phones.

really?
I really can't see them honoring this. It looks so out of place. 1 mile for previous listing and 83871 miles for this one.

This is obviously a mistake. Many FT'ers were burned by AA on a mistake airfare recently (see Mileage Run Discussion). AA is NOT going to honor this. Fine to buy one to see what happens, but let join those who say that this is a mistake and will not get honored.

Do you really think they're going to credit these? AFter all, verizon has to intiate the transfer, the AA website is just a listing of what merchants report to them. It's not like that value is necessarily tied to the same system that credits miles.

Thanks for pointing this out. I *almost* pulled the trigger.

Arrow 13 Miles?
The product description page says you'll earn...13 miles.

https://www.aadvantageeshopping.com/...erchantid=1977

I suspect that AA will honor THAT page!

Bought one for Spouse, one for myself. The risk/ reward is to great not to roll the dice. I don't expect any miles from this, but worth the extremely remote chance.

I suspect it means you just spent $180 on $150 worth of headphones for which you probably have no real use. Given the amount of difficulty people have with getting normal awards from eShopping sometimes, I can't imagine this working on something that is pretty clearly erroneous. It may be one thing if you got some confirrmation at checkout of the number of miles.

GL though.

That page shows 83871 miles when I load it.
