AAdvantage Mall [now only 3 mi.]/$ for Walgreen.
 

Old reward was 3 mi./$, now it's 15 mi./$. Very big promotion.

what to buy :) ?

I bought 25 in merchandise and 25 gift card and was credited miles for the full amount.

already??

AAdvantage Mall has 15 mi./$ for Walgreen now!
 

omg that's fast

Great deal! Although aren't gift cards supposed to be excluded? Is it that they just slip through sometimes?

Can you buy gift cards with gift cards (like Sears double dip)? If so, then this would be more lucrative than EBags because you could get 31 miles/$ and flip them for 80% value.

very fast posting, if my gift card comes before the 23rd, I will see if double dips are possible and report back.

Thanks

as a point to make. cardpool is buying walgreens gift cards at 83% value, up to $1000. If you buy a $1000 gift card, you would earn 15K AA Miles, + 1000 CC Points for a total of 16K points. Then sell it for $830. You would lose $170, but gain 16K points. This comes to right at 1.06 cpm. Not a terrible price for not much work.

Anyone find anything else at Walgreens that can get more than 83% return if sold ?

I bought $100 GC on Sunday 11/17...........still not seeing it thru the AA mall

I bought a $25, it hasn't posted. Only dp so far says cg might work with item purchase. Will try tonight.

Can you buy other gift cards with Walgreens gift cards at the store?

Unfortunately, no.

That would be nice

That was my reaction- it's quite a bit of miles per $ but how much toiletries, candy, and personal products can one buy? Although their website has a "sexual well being" tab that offers a lot of stuff not stocked in their stores:eek:

Could you translate? One meaning of your first abbreviation is not something that I think has anything to do with Walgreens purchases.... ;) :D :eek:

midcitybeth, when you say "I bought 25 in merchandise and 25 gift card and was credited miles for the full amount" do you mean the 15 miles/$ have actually shown up in your AA account, or just showing on the shopping mall site as a transaction pending posting?

If you actually got the miles, good on you, as the T&C clearly state that GC are not eligible:

I get a ton of things at Walgreens. Bought contact lens solution, band aids, blister aids (upcoming ski trip), Nice snacks (kids favorite), feminine napkins, Aveeno body wash (son has eczema), etc. Total cost about $100. All things we buy anyway.

but would it be $70 at walmart ?

the problem I have with these buys is that the prices are regular everyday prices and I always but 2x 3x what I need when something is on sale,

so the miles are really not "free" with my buying habits

True they haven't posted to AA yet, I will let you know if they do.

Walgreen's has sale items, too. And closeouts. With the 15x and the 750/1500/2500 holiday bonus, this is worth it to me. Assuming I actually receive the miles.

Agree depends on buying habits. I live in an urban area - the closest Walmart is an hour away, so I never go there. I do go to Walgreens a lot. My purchases if anything was replacing what I usually get on Amazon.

I did want to hit $100 to get the final 1000 mile bonus. So 2500 miles for $100 is a good effective discount for us.

I bought Walgreens gift cards.

Did anyone buy a different type of gift card? If so, how did you do it?

Datapoint: Walgreen's 16 miles bonus is now DEAD. It's only 3 miles per $.

^^^:D^^^

My 15x points already show as pending. Thank you to the OP for the tip!

Bought $100 GC and waited for it to be confirmed, then bought another $1k in GC and they have all been confirmed for the 15x points. Now i gotta go use these to buy Visa/Amex GCs in a Walgreens store, and then drive across the street to CVS to buy VR's. Kind of wish i would have bought more, but didn't want to push it.

When did you buy yours? I bought one $100 GC on Fri and I am not seeing anything yet. Also not sure Walgreens will let you buy a gift card with a gift card...

I purchased on 11/21 and 11/23 and nothing is showing yet.

Mine from 11/19 showed up earlier this week and is now confirmed. (15x is so so so sweet!)

My $100 GC from 11/17 not showing but I am still hopeful if others are getting the 15x for GC purchases. :confused:

My points are already confirmed in my AAshipping mall account, but have not transferred over to my AA miles account. Today i get an email saying 2/3 transaction have been cancelled. Its a boilerplate email that list several different potential reasons why. I wonder if my points will be reversed? Oh well, thats the risk and per the terms, i shouldnt have gotten them anyways.

I already had a $20 walgreens GC so i tried that out first buying a Visa gift card with it, and it worked for me, but YMMV.

I can confirm I got the full miles for the gift card purchase credited to my account. Also worth mentioning I also bought another item for $5 in the same cart.

That trick works quite often!

I contacted Cartera about the missing Walgreen's miles in mid-December and after a few replies and the sending of copies of the invoices, I received the purchase miles at the beginning of January.

Predictably, the 750 bonus miles did not show up, but today I got a message saying that I did qualify for the bonus, and that they had posted 2000 miles in December. Well, those 2000 miles were from the September $35 promotion, which I had contacted them about in December because they hadn't shown up. It even says on their site "Courtesy Credit: AA Sept Bonus--$35", but the agent failed to notice that, I guess. So today I had to send yet another email to them. They are truly clueless.
