hey

again, i think this shows that valuemags.com has some of the best customer service i've seen!

thanks for posting that message!

PG: a tremendous idea. if they do that, then they won't have to worry about the "middleman" (i.e., goldpoints). one question: would it be they or the FF program or both who would limit the number of FF miles that could be earned? (i.e., like the kelloggs promo - 200,000 AA miles max)

cheers

Hoax! (Note it is posting #1)

I got the e-mail, printed it, signed it, and faxed it back. But there is no place on the e-mail that identifies me. How do they know when I fax it back who I am? I provided my e-mail, so I hope that is good enough.

those of you getting these emails, when did you order? i placed a fairly large order on sunday and another on monday and i have yet to receive it. or did you request it so that you could get your miles earlier? thanks!

why would it be a hoax? of course it's post number 1. they're new to FT. at any rate, i emailed them and asked if they posted to FT and we'll see if they respond.

plus, notice it's a new email [email protected]

if it were a hoax, then that email address shouldn't work. anyone try?

Dateline: 3:28PM Mountain

I just spoke with Amanda at GoldPoints, and was advised that the 450 deal is still on until the 31st (provided that you know about it). If, by chance, one's account is credited with 150 instead of 450, she advised to just fax a copy of the receipt and GP's would make the adjustment.

She stated that the GP's site has been updated to reflect 150 for those new site visitors who are not aware of the former 450 promo.

Is this clear...or does it just muddy the water? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Sounds like we have a brief reprieve. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I got this from Goldpoints CSR:


Thank you for contacting Gold Points Rewards. The triple points
promotion does go to 12/31/01. If you do place an order with
Valuemags.com, please fax in your receipts to us at 1-763-212-5747 with
your name and account number on the fax. Please also note on your fax
that you may have only received 150 points per dollar spent and not the
450 points per dollar.

Then once we receive your fax, we will research your order.

Thank you.

Yes, "hoax" was the first thing that came to my mind. But why would a hoaxer print such a message?? I would be very suspicious if the letter announced a new promotion or something else we have not heard about. But this message is pretty much confirming everything we've already heard. I say it's legit, though I would like fireflyreaction or someone else who has emailed them to confirm this.

Here is my situation:

I placed an order on 12/25 for less than $400. I got all the email receipts fine. Then today I received the "cancellation policy" email which clearly states that it should be signed by people who ordered MORE than $400...So, what do I do? I sent an email to Shari about this, I 'll wait to hear back from him (or is it her?) before I try out the new [email protected] email address given above.

What would you do? Ignore the "cancellation email" or fully comply with it anyway? All I want is my points @450 GPs posted and the mags sent to the people in my next year's Christmas list http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

All I know is that if some of us get screwed out of our 450 GPs, well, there would be a Tora Bora "bombing" sequel or what? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Seems like their going to give you(and I) 150/dollar, people who call up and cry foul will get the 450/dollar people who don't won't. I ordered 112.20 on Dec. 25 now I'm going to wait for them to post(should not take long given the amount) and then call up if I don't get 450/dollor.

Neal: search the name valuemags in all of FT and you'll find three postings. a mistaken posting in the wrong thread, the one above and an identical one in the radisson forum.

if i get an email back from them, i will let you all know http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I'd be leery of a CS rep. at GoldPoints saying the promo is still on. There are already contradictory postings on FlyerTalk that indicate other GoldPoints reps. have said only 150 points/dollar. In addition, the valuemags rep who posted said the offer has been pulled. Buyer beware!

I also orded on the 25th just over $100 so far the only thing I've gotten has been the order confermation e-mail, and 500 point on that order for Inlane Transaction anyone know what that is.

MY MILES POSTED, MY MILES POSTED!!!

and i got a 5,500 mile bonus from AA! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
