Numerous people have reported (in How Many Hits?) that a sweep ran this week late Monday night. That's when I received my latest tier bonus.

i have a question i have just done the track-it-back , FTD , and telefora hits. How long before they hit my account ? And what if they dont hit my account until after the GS promo has ended do they go back and add them based on the activity date ?

Read post #1 in the other partners tread. It should answer most, if not all of your questions.
Good luck with GS2011!

I wasn't sure what thread to ask this in, so the sticky will have to do.

As a first time participant, I'm wondering about past year Grand Slams.

There have been a few reports of activities that according to the rules should not count as hits, but that apparently are counting (based on status emails and/or sweeps). For example, the insurance quote, or one-time purchases from merchants listed as "subscription" partners.

In past years, were there ever cases where hits were "taken away", after US re-evaluated the posting activity? Or if something posts and is counted as a hit, can I consider it "safe"?

Received email on 27 Oct:
"As of October 24, 2011, you’ve earned 9 hits for a total of 10,000 bonus miles! Don’t worry – there's still time to hit it out of the park!"

Looking through my credits, it seems like I had 10 hits prior to 24 Oct. Does anyone have a clue as to which credits hits may not count? Trying to get to 16 hits, but may settle for 12.

FYI, The SkyMall order was cancelled, but miles were still credited. That's my guess. I only counted Thanks Again once.

Thanks.

It's the toolbar hit that doesn't count because the activity date predates the start of Grand Slam. Don't worry though - as long as you have used it recently (after the last points posted to be on the safe side), you will get the hit next month.

Thanks. Makes sense. Will make sure to do some more searching.

For me the first 20 or so hits were relatively simple to apply and so far got about 12 hits posted.
But now it's getting more tedious and a hassle to even follow up on non-posted hits.
Initially, I was going for 32 hits but I don't feel like spending the extra time is worth the effort to either follow up or purchase more items.
So, I'm just going to see what happens with the postings next month.

I don't know of any in the past that were taken away and I figure it would be more of a logistical nightmare for US to do it than to just leave them in place. I like to believe that US would not be penny-wise, pound-foolish in this case.

It's always good to do a "safety hit" for any contingency, however. There's a thread on that somewhere around here.

Any idea why I have not received any bonus miles on the latest sweep (Oct 24)?

Make sure you actually successfully registered for the program - A couple of other posters have made that mistake.

I have an email confirming registration dated Sep.27. I'll get another toolbar hit in November, but hopefully e-rewards counts!

Oh no! I think I forgot to register for one of our accounts (little JeffISU)...

Just checked her email and saw no registration confirmation. (slaps forehead)... I registered online, though read in the T&C they'll only take hits after registration. Think I'm SOL?

Call US Airways. They should be able to tell you exactly when you registered online (and perhaps you have a screenshot to back it up, but if not, you should be fine). I didn't get my registration confirmation e-mail until a few days later, and because I did almost all of my hits on the day I registered online, I was very worried. However, this was quickly cleared up with a phone call. Good luck.

Once all of this bonanza is over do we have to wait until GS12, or do other airlines/hotels etc. run similar promotions?

I would quite enjoy one of these each quarter for a different scheme.
