Do you mean the link showing the Black Friday extra 50% off sale? I ordered first from among those magazines, and after realizing that given the total cost, I wouldn't be getting many miles at all, went back the next day and ordered from among all the magazines on the site. Funny thing, the transaction for the second order has already shown up on AA showing the full 60x miles earned, but nothing from the much-smaller-mileage-earning first order.

Sorry, my mistake. When I first looked at the magazines.com site, it seemed that only a relative handful of magazines were available...that's why I thought the one you mentioned might not qualify. AFAIK now, there aren't the restrictions I was concerned about.

I bought about $70 in mags. Only thing showing up is $15 in "eligible spend" under my AA shopping portal. I understand I need to give time for my other transactions to show up, but given that I got all my mags under 1 transaction, is there any reason only $15 (900 miles) would show up?

Nevermind. I see that each magazine is technically a different order.

Magazines.com not honoring promotion
 

Update to cancellation of orders by magazines.com.

I originally placed an order for magazines to be donated to a nonprofit. My order was cancelled along with all my orders for friends and family.

Magazines.com is refusing to honor the 60 miles/$ promotion. Jim Wagner, the manager, will only tell me its because my original order (which consisted of magazines to myself and husband who are currently stationed overseas, a nonprofit that sends magazines to troops stationed overseas, and various christmas gifts) included a donation to a nonprofit and thus all orders are cancelled. They will not even let an order go through for a $24 subscription to my nephew.

I was very excited about this promotion because it fulfilled several Christmas gifts and gave me a reason to buy some magazines my husband and I read. I was even more excited that it allowed me to accrue miles to get me and my children home to the US this summer to visit grandparents since the government eliminated R&R for our post.

I am so upset and disappointed by Magazines.com's action and the rude and uncompromising behavior of Jim Wagner. It is so blatant that they are trying to back track on the promotion.

Does anyone have any advice? I know I'm out of luck on the promotion but this company must be reprimanded. Better Business Bureau? Tennessee Attorney General? This is just so outrageous!:mad:

So what you're saying is: they cancelled your order only because you're donating them to nonprofits?

Yes. That is what the manager said. That is why the first order was supposedly cancelled. It included both magazines to myself, gifts, and the nonprofit. So I then separately placed orders for my personal subscriptions and gifts to family members (most Christmas gifts but a few birthday gifts as well...I have four birthdays in December alone to buy for). None of those were allowed to go through. Jim Wagner will only tell me that its because my original order contained subscriptions to the nonprofit. It makes absolutely NO sense. He did not even sound confident in his response. His voice was shaky. When I tried to press him, just kept saying like a robot that NONE of my orders would go through because the first order contained subscriptions for the nonprofit.

What I think is most telling (and I should have included in my prior post) was the sales rep I spoke to before speaking to the manager told me the notes in my file indicated there was a problem with the shopping website I clicked through (meaning the AA shopping portal!!!). Translation: the problem was not with where the subscription was being sent, but that I clicked through the 60 miles/$ spent on the AA shopping portal website!

Ugh.

I haven't received any of the bonus miles yet (orders placed 11/25 and 11/28) nor has it shown up but I got an email from magazines.com customer service confirming some dupe orders.

Was charged same day for the amounts. At least they have a 90 day guarantee. If the miles don't post, will cancel everything.

How did you know they were cancelled (just wondering so I can check mine)? Does it say "cancelled" in the order status?

Mine haven't posted yet, either - transaction from the 26th.

Not yet pending on the eshopping portal transactions yet either?

Exactly.

I ordered over $250 in magazines and ONLY because of the 60mi per $ promotion. All I see is a 11/24 (date of order) "AADVANTAGE ESHOPPING SOLO BONUS - SPEND $35 AND EARN 2000 BONUS MILES" note on my account. I've received no emails from magazine.com stating that anything has been cancelled and, in fact, when I log into my magazine.com account, all of the orders appear to be there. I made the subscriptions out to myself and two friends.

Unfortunately, one friend already received a confirmation, but I'd gladly cancel the rest if they don't honor the promotion.

20 per dollar now

I placed 2 orders the 24th and 28th, nothing posted yet either. but I have order confirmation
