in for one. 2.97 is worth it...

Has anyone else noticed if you view 'product details' instead of just clicking 'buy now' it says estimated miles = 13 ?

This is ridiculous. How can this still be going? You know there are people who have likely bought hundreds of dollars worth in the vain attempt to have an insane amount of miles.

Is anyone getting a "Page is not currently available" when trying to check on the status of an order? One I made earlier today was showing up as fine and shipped (except it didn't have a Fedex tracking number), but now, when I enter my order #, it gives me that error message.

if you are really brave, put a reservation on hold and book a non-refundable hotel and tours. At least then you would have something to claim.

Nights at the Paris Hilton are often free.

LMAO, just reading through some of the more mundane aspects of this thread. The few that there are, that is.

Depends. If AAdvantage EShopping made the error, they're responsible for crediting the miles. It's all in who made the entry... and who's ultimately responsible for the miles posting. In the past, ALL of mine posted from EShopping:

Code:
04/20/11	AADVANTAGE ESHOPPI GROUPON	192	0	192
04/20/11	AADVANTAGE ESHOPPI GROUPON	80	0	80
04/26/11	AADVANTAGE ESHOPPI FTD	990	0	990
04/27/11	AADVANTAGE ESHOPPI DRUGSTORE.COM	240	0	240

It seems a good idea, I just don't think it has happened before.
We will need a darn good lawyer to make sure that the presiding judge does not snicker when the $2.97 pink glitter case is presented as Exhibit A. Darn good lawyer, I say.

Not exactly one of "these" deals... but an online pricing error:

HANK BARBER, et.al. vs. BUY.COM INC. [Case Number 806372]
Class Action

The lawsuit alleged that the defendant had offered items for sale on its Website at a substantially reduced price, and then had refused to consummate sales at the price indicated. In particular, it was alleged that a Hitachi Superscan 753 computer monitor was for sale at $164.50 for a three day period and that the defendant refused to sell that item for that price. In the alternative, the plaintiffs alleged that if the posting of the $164.50 price was an error, the error amounted to negligence in that the defendant did not have sufficient safeguards in place to discover an inaccuracy in pricing.

BUY.COM settled for $575,000.00
