this is interesting...
when i log into goldpoints, i get "Current Balance: NOT AVAILABLE"
i wonder if they've taken anyone who ordered from valuemags while the promo was still on out of the system temporarily while they fix the point posting?

I got a nice email this morning promising bonus points for being such a good customer. They said they would post by the end of January. And I only ordered $150 worth of ValueMags.

You mean if any problem should arise in receiving our 450 Goldpoints per dollar, Valumag is just an innocent bystander? Also, where on the Valumag site did it say they were only awarding us 150 points per dollar and that Goldpoints would triple it?

The triple points promo is a GoldPoints promo, not Valuemags. Valuemags awards you 150 GoldPoints/dollar and Goldpoints triples it. Once you have 150 GoldPoints/dollar, Valuemags has fulfilled what they are delivering, the other 300 GoldPoints/dollar comes from a promo run by GoldPoints.

Beckles: The point I'm trying to make, is that valumag is a player in the promotion just like Goldpoints. You think they're going to tell a judge or anyone else, "Gee, we only promised 150 points per dollar and have no idea how that banner on our web site got there!"

I could make a LeapPoints website with a link to United Airlines itinerary creation page that has a banner on top saying "10,000,000 LeapPoints per every dollar being spent". It would not be UA's fault if you bought tickets and then didn't get the LeapPoints. It would be mine, as the person that controls the displayed text and who lead you to it with a link.

Curious, did anyone order from ValueMag after the promotion ended on the website and after getting assurances from Goldpoints they would indeed honor the 450 points per $ spent??

Yeah, I bought mags "after the fact".
I got the assurance from GP to honor the 450 points, so I went ahead and donated $2000 of magazines to my local library. Worse comes to worse, I'll get less miles - but I'll still have given a nice donation to an institution that I've used for the past 20+ years.
