Dear seoulmanjr,

Thank you for shopping with the AAdvantage eShoppingSM program. The AAdvantage® miles have successfully posted to your account.

Merchant: Blue Nile

Ship Date Miles
10/27/2005 23,736
Total Miles Posted: 23,736

I was starting to worry about the miles actually posting since it's been exactly 10 weeks since my purchase and the online malls can be a bit notorious for having problems with crediting miles, but AA & BlueNile came though before I had time to give them a call anyway! Woohoo!

And she loves the ring. So everyone's happy. :D

peace,
~Ben~

Does AA still give miles for shopping at blue nile? I can't find it on the AA site.

Thank you very much for that link. I couldn't find it on the aa.com so this will get me quite a few more AA miles towards lifetime gold that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

Just caught this thread and read the first few posts and had to say this from the other side of the fence:

How do you know you're asking a FlyerTalker to marry you? The dialogue goes something like this:

Him: Will you marry me? [producing beautiful ring of excellent size, cut, clarity, and color]

FT Her: Did you get miles when you bought that?

Him: Um...what? No. I bought it at Tiffany.

FT Her: Oh. Well. Hm. Can I think about it?

OR, in our household, it might go a little something like this:

Him: Will you marry me? [producing beautiful ring of excellent size, cut, clarity, and color]

GG: Did you get miles when you bought that?

Him: But of course. I earned miles going through the shopping portal*, bought it during a triple miles bonus promotion, using a miles-earning credit card, which I opened and got 25,000 miles with the initial purchase.

GG: Oh, DARLING! [throwing arms around him] You had me at triple miles bonus promotion! Of COURSE I'll marry you!

* Obviously learned from The Great Circuit City TV Purchase of 2005, in which my SO made a significant online purchase without using the shopping portal, only to subsequently return it in favor of a completely different TV that, by coincidence, netted us miles in the purchasing.

:D :D :D

dont you think your not paying for thise miles/? most likely if you shopped around a bit more youd find a bigger rock for your buck...

There are definitely miles for mortgages out there - put the money into one of those instead of a stupid ring.

Buy a ring at a pawn shop. You can forget about all the joys of single life (miles and sex. they dissapear when you get married)
