They honestly better give us those extra 40K points. They offered that promo for months. How can they say now that they didn't offer it?

I haven't gotten them yet... got the first 20k with first purchase, but crossed the 2k like a month ago but nothing yet.

I should probably call in and ask, shouldn't I...........


the first 20k also haven't posted to my BW account yet

Or 4.25% if you use the Rogers Bank card (1.75% cash back).

Would be kind of stupid if it coded as a cash advance, given the intended purpose of the card.

(It codes as a purchase.)

Just checked my Best Western account. I've gone through my first billing cycle and put about $1k on the card. Glad to report that 20k points have posted to my BW account (+points from purchases).

Will report back when I hopefully get the rest (I'm probably at $2k spending by now). Can't wait as I sort of feel embarassed using this card.

I know this exactly feeling. Every time I silently pray there aren't any SPG Amex-wielding high rollers around to see me.

At least we're not using debit cards!

got the first 20K cleanly, but remaining 40K is missing from the statement where i expected it. gonna wait a month and if still nothing, will call them

Not really. Go into a CIBC branch and buy some foreign currency and also a pre-paid Visa gift card.Tell the rep you want to pay with your credit card.

Yep...cash advance.

It would be stupid to code it as a purchase.....real stupid.

Can you confirm that it codes as a purchase? If so, I'll take advantage of stupidity!

Okay, so this is not a miles offer, it's a cash offer.
But I think this fits the mold of what MilesBuzz! readers seek...

Tangerine.ca $100 signup bonus offer
http://www.tangerine.ca/switch

Tangerine.ca (formerly ING Direct) is offering a $100 bonus if you start a chequing account, and do one payroll deposit.

The $100 bonus applies if this is your "first" account with them.
*** I'd be happy to learn if anyone has received multiple bonuses from Tangerine for starting multiple accounts.

The first 20k should post to BW within day. Double check the account number and give them a call. My account number was initially incorrect.

I just checked and realized my SECOND month's points did indeed post - I don't remember if I called them about my BW number before or after the first month was due. Odd that the first month's point wouldn't post together with the second month - when I called they said there was NO BW number on record so the points can't have posted to the wrong account. I'll give them a call.

EDIT: Alright, the person was very much aware of the 60k offer. She said those points will post after the next statement, so I'd check the statement when you reach 1k/2k and the statement after, and if they don't post then call in. I also indeed only added my BW number after the first month so those points will now be transferred, as well as Gold status. All is in order.

Quoting myself to update: Without contacting them or anything, the second 350 have now posted 5 days later, so if anyone else was waiting check your account!

Same here, Canadian, 2nd +350 showed up, thanks
I'm now 15,677, (after redeeming 4x40K this year to use it up before 3/22 devaluation) ha... what to do

Upgrade Y->J with miles!

Got my 700 AA miles as well
