How much was the gift card for the wedge?

I'm curious if its the same $ value listed on their web site.

$125 and change.

Also got giftcard for wedge this week - have not verified price, but it according to the T&Cs, the card was also supposed to have shipping costs added to the total.

Does anyone actually know if this is valid this 2nd quarter?

I just got Ambassador from 8021 based on a 3 night stay in Tokyo in mid-May.

I received my $50 "dinner & a movie" card in the mail about a week ago.

Just so you know, it's a type of stored value AMEX card produced by the American Express Incentive Services division. The card is worth 50 "points," and is accepted only at specific chains (1 point = 1 dollar, of course). According to their website, RewardBalance.com, they may redeemed at the following merchants:

AMC Theaters
Bonefish Grill
Carrabbas Italian Grill
Chart House Restaurants
Fandango.com
Fleming's
Hard Rock Cafe
Landry's Seafood House
Legal Seafoods
Olive Garden Italian Restaurant
Outback Steakhouse
Rainforest Cafe
Red Lobster
Roy's
Saltgrass Steak House
Smith & Wollensky
Chotchkie's
Waffle House
Hooters
Chuck E. Cheese's

It took so long to type out all those chains, I got bored and made up the last five listings. Or perhaps I got a little cynical after reading the lengthy guide and T&C. The last one on the above list is completely fabricated. I wouldn't type that url in your browser, btw.

Seriously though, it's kind of a weird program. The instructions appear to be a little tricky for the average non-FTer. One of the "important tips" from the guide warns that restaurants typically obtain authorization to charge 20% more than your actual bill when they first swipe any plastic, so that they know you've got enough credit line to cover the tip. Even if you split your bill between two cards.

You just know some schmo is gonna look like a chump in front of their date/spouse after a few drinks and dinner for two at any of these establishments. And forget the "movie" part. It would seem to work OK for most business travelers going solo while on the road, however.

In any case, the card is valid thru 11/09, and it even has the Priority Club Logo on it. Interestingly, right below where one's name is embossed on the card, it states "Q2 STAY TO EARN PROMO."

I get SMS messages from my banks in seconds, even before receipts are printed. I have never seen these additions and I will never sign such receipts. If I ever see such scam, they will get zero tips.

Same here WonderDude - not quite what I was expecting, but I'll definitely use the card.

Is there any requirement to book accommodation through the PC website for codes to work or can I book through a third party such as Expedia (provided I give my PC number at check in)?

Expedia usually wont't work. Probably most 3rd party site neither. (stay booked on American Express site posted as non-qualifiying for me)

I guess it must be some American wonder - in my country is is most unusal to tip in reasturants.

Worked for me in April/May.

S&H seems to only be a fixed ~$5 for each order...........

Can anybody help I am new to this forum,I have followed the instructions at the beginning of the thread but I cant get any of the codes to work,I wondered if I am doing something wrong. I have typed in priorityclub.com/register3045 (with http://www at the beginning) but it changes to ichotelsgroup.com/register3045 and gives the same message for each code "We're sorry but the page you requested might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable"

Thanks

As I said, I haven't checked the actual amounts on mine, waiting to get all of them at once.
