i understand how to get the hit for swapping miles-but how does the sharing miles one work?

thanks
As a tag-on, is it better to share on points.com or within US DM?

Does party A sharing miles with party B garner a hit to both?

I'd like to suggest that everyone tempted to ask such questions consult the official US FAQ -- http://www.usairways.com/EN-US/FAQS/GRANDSLAMFAQS.HTML -- before posting. The post you save may be your own.

Limited offer for hit:
Grand Slam is back and we’re giving you a head start! Check us out on Twitter where the first 110 people to Tweet a picture from a game holding a US Airways sign will get 1 hit and 500 bonus miles.

Just remember:
  • You have to register for Grand Slam
  • You have to follow US on Twitter and include @USAirways in your response.
  • The person in the picture doesn’t have to be you; it can be anyone holding a US Airways sign.
  • If you’re not going to a baseball game this week you can get creative and take a picture at a little league or softball game.
  • If you win, you'll receive 500 bonus miles and 1 hit in the Grand Slam promotion
  • Twitter promotion runs from September 2 – September 9, 2011

I did get creative... I took a picture of a baseball game on TV... Wonder if it will count.

I registered for GS11 last week. Should I have gotten an e-mail confirmation, or is it a matter of faith that the registration is recorded with US? I'd hate to pile up a bunch of hits only to find out I was not in the game.

Call the Dividend Miles Customer Service Center if you want to confirm registration.

OK, here's a really stupid question and a search didn't help (possibly because I didn't use the right keywords): how/where can we see how many points we have accumulated? I have a Sixt rental, two different hotel stays, a miles trade, and an Office Max purchase so far and I want to make sure they are credited.

Thanks in advance.

You can't actually see them until they post. It's a good reason to hold onto all of your receipts.

Ah, but where do they post? And, more importantly, how can I see them?

Go into your DM account. Under "Quick Links," about halfway down the right-hand side of the page, click on "Your miles." Scroll to "Activity" at the bottom.

And, once we get into Oct/Nov, modify the search dates to cover the full GS period. (The US site default is to search only on the current month.)

And you will actually only see the "hits" post every two weeks when they do the sweep. The first should be on 9/28.
