Just bought an item for $688.Cleaned cookies , ensured I was logged in and took screenshots. Should net me @5000 miles if the cartera gods behave.

Looks like a new bonus, for everyone.

1000 = $75
2000 = $150
3000 = $250

Just ordered a gift I was going to buy anyway, an extra 3k points is nice

Does anybody know if gift card purchases at Walmart will count toward the $250 requirement for 3000 AA miles?

" Purchases made at FTD.com through the AAdvantage eShopping mall, returns, shipping, taxes, gift card purchases, and certain products are not eligible for bonus".

But occasionally they do slip through the cracks.

DaveInLA

I know what the terms say, was wondering if anybody has actually gotten points in past by buying gift cards

uElliots

Can I make a qualifying purchase and credit to an account that does not have my name (i.e., another person's AA account?)

the purpose would be to extend their AA account activity life

DaveInLA

Yes

PaulMSN

Then you should have made that clear. You might peruse this thread, where several people claim to have gotten points for GCs, at least as far as the points being listed at AA mall.

I took advantage of this offer combined with the American Express Neiman Marcus sync deal. American Express is offering a $50 statement credit if I spent $200. I loaded this offer to my SPG Amex. I then logged into the AA Shoping Portal and purchased a $250 gift card to Neiman Marcus. (I'm fully aware of the restrictions on buying gift cards, but I figured I'd take the chance). Within about 5 days, the bonus posted to my account. $250 x 6 pts/$ = 1,500 AA points. Now I'm just waiting to see if I'll get the additional 3,000 point bonus as per this promotion.

Is there any specific link we must click or is it just in general for the site? I have already spent well over $250 on Aadvantage since Dec 8th, but I have not clicked any specific link for the promo.


I would like to make a couple of big future purchases on the United Portal if possible.

Thanks.

Also, how do you take a "screenshot" on a pc? I need them because cartera is a shady company.

Not surprisingly, I have two purchases that did not show up via the online shopping mall. Is there any way to call Cartera rather than send an email via the canned form? I couldn't find it on the website. I do have screenshots of the whole process all the way through the confirmation page.

I guess I'm in the pleasantly surprised camp - I really wasn't counting on the bonus miles from the promo. I used the refresh method to 'see' my magazines.com purchase during the 30 miles/$ period. The miles appeared in my AA account this morning and I got an email from [email protected] today giving me hope as it reads:

I'm in the same camp as I received the same email yesterday.

I had this exact same idea, and similar data points. Bought a $250 NM gift card on 12/14, card was delivered 12/18 (in incredibly excessive bubble wrap packaging for a small piece of plastic), FedEx required signature for delivery. Amex offer credited today as well, and 1,500 miles have been confirmed in my advantage shopping account. I already shipped the card to cardpool to cash it out.

Total cost $250 + $5 shipping = $255 - $50 Amex offer =205 - $212.50 cardpool offer = -7.50.

Nice to be paid to collect 1,500 miles, even better if this activates the bonus 3,000 . Guess we will know for sure one way or the other in 8-10 weeks.
