LOL true story ;)

Recently redeemed e-rewards from 2 accounts (UK), to the same loyalty program account.

Entered a different phone number for each account, and both transfers went through ok. Hope I don't get deactivated but looking like business as usual so far

I've done this several times lately, and so far so good. I'd say that once you get the miles/points, there's no turning back.

Anyone tried using the same phone number for two accounts? Almost tempted to see if it works :D

good luck with that .. but some reported above using a German phone number and getting automatically banned. Can't you just use a husband / wife / friend's phone? Sounds safer. :)

I've had the same number on my account and my wife's account with no issues until I went to redeem from both accounts a week ago - it asked for a phone number to send a text or msg to. I did mine ok but when I went to do my wife's it said that phone number was already being used....had to drag out her "emergency" cell phone to make it work.

I use my old UK prepay sim for my UK account now. It costs nothing to receive texts.

If you have iOS, install the app Swytch. They have a one week free trial and you can get your own UK VOIP phone number.

Worth a look. Thanks for that.

Well, web-based SMS services don't work, I doubt this will...

I'm sure you've all had the experience of taking half (or more) of a survey and it dumps you out for 25c. Well, a friend recently had a survey exit before even the first question and it credited the full $7.50! So good to see one go the user's way for a change.

Very odd.... I arrived at the airport and within 30 minutes, received an email that I could spend my time waiting doing a survey. Except I no longer have the app installed on my phone. I am signed in to the mobile site since the app no longer works. Has this happened to anyone else? Do you think signing out of the mobile site would prevent them from tracking me? Quite honestly, I'm not OK with this at all. I have most location services turned off and well as location advertising.

I received the same ad - wasn't traveling and don't have a laptop - so I think it was just a coincidence :-)

OK... that's good to know :) Thanks

Yes, just coincidence. I got exactly the same e-mail, while I was sitting on my balcony 40km from the nearest airport.
