I transferred 2K -> 500 miles to get a partner for the AA 20/20 promotion. One phone call, took a few weeks, no problems.

My account is set up for the automatic conversion. GoldPoints come out on Sunday (2,000) and miles go into AA account on following Thursday (500).

Great stuff!! Just did over $3K worth of magazine shopping. Hopefully it will convert into a few nice first class trips...

EBATESGIFT worked just fine for 15% off.

some followup...

i just got off the phone with a very nice lady at goldpoints and i have transferred 436,750 aadvantage miles into my aadvantage account http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

once i see them in my aadvantage account, i'll officially be prepared to delcare the valuemags deal BONIFIED, CERTIFIED and LEGITIMATE! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif but as it stands now, those declarations are all but a formality!

Mais oui... it's a news magazine, similar to MacClean. You can say it is the French version of that magazine, from the same publisher. In USA, it's similar to Newsweek.

You should enjoy it. But they do focus more on French Canadian news... business, politics, travel, etc.

It was the reading assigned in my French class http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

What happens if I started out with Goldpoints from TGI Fridays and then signed up with Radisson?

I spoke with a goldpoints rep today. She said it is rumoured that tomorrow may be the last day for 450 points per dollar from Valuemag. No other info available.

I'm not sure that valuemags will appreciate being called "bonified" but they'll probably take "bona fide" as a compliment. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

*red faced*

i knew i should stay away from making posts while 3/4ths asleep http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

in regards to the date this promo ends, see this page:
http://www.goldpoints.com/site/earn/SeasonalShop.jsp

it says 12/31.

cheers http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

can anyone confirm getting extra points with valuemags using the "milesmags" 15% off coupon? i.e., got 4500 goldpoints for a $10 purchase that ended up costing $8.50 after the coupon?

cheers

My Visa card security just called me... "Sir, we like to confirm, did you buy all that much from a magazine store few minutes ago?

Yes... (embarrassed).

Hope you got points for using your Visa card too. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

i *hate* rumours.

however, to be hypocritical, i will inform everyone of this rumour and ask if anyone else is familiar with this:

there is a rumour that the valuemags promo is going to prematurely end on the 20th.

i'm looking into it right now
