This from the goldpoints website:
"Also note that the awarding of points for merchandise ordered from an online retailer, via the Gold Points Rewards website, will take place within 30 business days"
so it should happen within 4 weeks...

I purchased a gift certificate - just called Gold Points to convert some points into miles certificates rather than let them build up and risk losing --
"We are updating our system and cannot access account information. We will be able to do so at 8AM tomorrow."
So I will call and convert points in AM BEFORE buying anything else.

Hmmm, I guess all those fish hooks suggested to Bean that something, well, fishy was going on!
I bought about 10 $50 certs. I'll get the points, buy some products with them, and wait for the next promotion!

Guys / gals...
I ordered FREE catalog w/ FREE shipping @ LLBean - I didn!t expect to get the points.
To my BIG surprise - 2000 points came to my account !!!
I think I do not have to be a prophet if I say now that LLBean will be surprised how many catalogs will they ship after this post... :}

I just found this thread. There is a ton of information here which I'm trying to digest.
I love LL Bean. I have an LL Bean Platinum Visa (MBNA). How can I benefit from this as I order from LL Bean all of the time. Is there a link for me to sign up? I'm confused about what gold points are but what I want to know is can I get free clothing or access to special discounts? Any info would be great. Thanks.

Amazing-LL Bean did it again. I used the fish hook strategy last year when they were on Goldpoints. It worked fine until I started getting phone calls from MBNA's fraud departmetn, from LLBean's FLyshop, from their shipping dept., etc. It got to be WAY too much hassle. Shortly thereafter, LLBean left Goldpoints. I thought the two might have been related. But they did the same thing again....well congrats to those who caught fishing fever the 2nd time around!
