My favorite Groupon, half off Cafe Press t-shirts
The deal expired on the previous post to half price Cafe Press but they seem to put this deal up pretty often in different cities.
Pay $25 for $50 worth of Cafe Press t-shirts or other items. Found this just in time to buy a couple of baby gifts with our Animal Shelter logo on them :whoopie:
Buy it by Saturday 6/18, use it by Sept 19, 2011
Go through the Aadvantage shopping mall to buy the Groupon and can get 8 miles per $1 spent. I always need those miles to fly to Hawaii
look on the left sidebar of the page to see the Cafe Press deal.

(Still, go through something like AA's shopping portal first!)
Excellent for anyone who wants to buy some FlyerTalk merchandise.

"32 Miles per $1" Groupon is affiliated with the airline programs' Shopping Malls. Advisory was in a drop-down curtain from the USAir toolbar that helps to exploit the Dividend Miles Grand Slam program, and didn't offer details. May be only in USAir Dividend Miles program. May be just today.
Now, cover all this with the caveat that Cartera, which is behind the Shopping Malls, and is a key link in making this work, is very unreliable.

Well, that changed in a heartbeat. This addendum is so as not to mislead. This morning it was 32x (would have been excellent with today's "Groupon Goods" offer of an Android 2.3 tablet for $129... 4,000+ miles), mid-day it was 1 mi. per $1, then 8x this evening.
The only real take away is that it's a better idea to buy Groupons through an airline shopping mall, and get miles, than not. That's if you can live with what Forrest Gump's mama always said: "...like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get..."

Has everyone been getting their airline miles for Groupon purchases? Mine came in like clockwork until the end of June. Now, I haven't gotten any UA miles since and have made several Groupon purchases.
Groupon says contact United and United states they want an email confirmation stating purchase. I haven't gotten a confirmation number or email that lists cost of purchase from Groupon.
Any advice or feedback? Is this happening to anyone else?

I haven't gotten any. I'm buying them through the USAir Dividend Miles Shopping now. Perhaps one partial explanation is that USAir's been running the Grand Slam promotion. You only get one "hit" in the promo for doing this, but a lot more people may have done it, and then gotten into the swing of just picking up a few miles, some to keep their accounts alive, with each purchase -- or trying to. May have helped to jam the system. But the Grand Slam promo only goes back to mid-September. Thus the "partial" adjective above.
Another possibility: There has been much gnashing of teeth on other boards about Cartera's terrible mishandling of the Shopping Mall. They're behind it, regardless of the airline or hotel partner. In particular, there was the AAdvantage mis-advertised fiasco, which was before the USAir promo. THAT was probably what did it in the first place.
