Sears 16X question/experience

Sorry if there is a thread dedicated to this...please move if so.

I purchased 15 $100 physical gift cards on 10/9 for the Sears 16X promo (I have the UA MileagePlus cc). I called that night and made sure all the orders were processed that night (the guy even laughed and said "doing this for the miles huh?"). The transactions posted in my Plink account and I got the points for that. However, I haven't seen anything post/go to pending in my MileagePlus eShopping account.

I was wondering if anyone that did a similar transaction(s) has seen any evidence of the miles posting yet?

Thanks!

I placed three orders that went for a combined $900 or so, mostly merchandise, a few gift cards. None of the points have posted, either in my MileagePlus order history or in my UA account.

Sears is terrible of depositing/honoring miles. I would never purchase anything from Sears online via the shopping portal again. If you contact mileageus shopping, Sears will respond that the purchase was not made via the portal.

Got our 16x points for a new freezer and hot water heater. I'm pretty boring.

I order 50*6=300 from united portal for sear physical gift card. Got the for 3600 united points.

But recently Southwest promotion I order 500 physical gift card from sears and none of them got point. The only thing I got point is $50 e-gift certificate from Land end.

Anyone get point from Southwest promotion for sear? Thanks

Bought 20 x $50 Sears eGCs and got the points in UA within a week. The points for purchases using eGCs took another week to post.

I ordered a fridge online last sunday10/27 from Sears. Its not being delivered till today but I was already charged on 10/28/13. Nothing has posted so far thru MP, even though online purchases for Walmart, Overstock and NY&CO all posted within a day or two on both MP shopping and Mileage Plus account.

No - the big payouts are usually very short lived (a few days). Today Neiman Marcus is 18x (23x if you stack with using a Freedom). That will be done in a few days and hopefully we will all see another very big payout. Biggest Sears I can think of off-hand today is 6x.

The points for my $400 e-gift card order posted. I used the e-gift card to buy $400 worth of stuff the next day and that posted. However, my $1000 physical gift card order has not posted.
