I did 380 boxes of corn flakes for 38,000 miles. Cost $1.25 per box. + chartible deduction.

Tips:

1. Go to the ordering supervisor and order case lots. Let them know if it is a donation to the food bank as they might give you a price break.

2. Buy address labels and print them from your computer with your AA # on them.

3. Mail them all together to save postage and the possibility of confusion with multi posts of miles. Mine posted within 3 weeks of sending them.

4. For me, using a sharp adjustable razor knife and leaving the cereal in the box worked best.

Dingo: Details of the Kellogg's cereal promotion are on the website. Go here:
http://www.kelloggs.com/

And there is a link on the middle-right hand of the page for AAdvantage miles. That takes you to the cereal promotion - there is a stated expiration date of November 2001. For the other promotions - just buy a box and the rules are included.

On the spam board there was a post re kmart last week selling the pastry swirls at 33% off--but just checked my mailbox and my kmart here in az has an ad for the kelloggs pastry swirls 2 for $3 thru the end of week.Now hopefully they have the certs on the back.This would be so much easier if we could only send in upc's

I volunteer in a soup kitchen some days and have noticed NutriGrain bars offered now for breakfast. These are great as some of them even put them in their pocket for later. Oddly enough, I haven't seen any empty boxes lying around, just individually wrapped bars. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Regarding drtravel's suggestion to order by the case: When I did this at my local Market Basket they said they couldn't tell from the outside of the carton if the boxes inside had airplanes on them or not. I explained what it was all about, and that it was "no airplanes, no deal." They understood & agreed to open my cases to check when they came in. Fortunately, they all had airplanes! If you do this, be sure you reach the same understanding with your store.

FYI - the Costco stores in Arizona only take AMEX, no Visa or other credit cards. I assume this is true throughout the USA.
