US Airways will track hits and award bonus miles beginning September 28, 2011, and continue to post miles every other week until March 28, 2012.

new double miles buy promo during Grand Slam '11
Dont know if this is the right place to put this question; but is there any chance that Points.com will run a 100% buy miles promo during GS11? Anyone recollect how that has been previous years?

As PSUPaul suggested, it is my recommendation to call US Airways to confirm your registration. The e-mail confirmation for US promotions are spotty. There are four family members that signed up for this promotion and only one of us received an e-mail confirmation. Also, it is my recommendation to screen shots, screen movies, etc. of your registration, purchases, etc. so that you will have a 'paper' trail in case if there is a problem.

Does anyone know the difference between a "Dividend Miles Shopping Mall" hit and a "Skymall" hit. Doesn't the Dividend Miles Shopping Mall just link to Skymall?
Also, someone asked about adding their DM number to an OfficeMax.com purchase, and apparently OfficeMax told them to go through the DM Shopping Mall. It seems like this would only count as a Shopping Mall hit - and I assume it's not a double (or triple) dip situation.
Anyone who has done a Grand Slam before run into these questions? Thanks!

Where do we check how many hits so far? Does any miles posted to US Airways account count as "hit"?
I saw Mike's post earlier to go to the "Activity" page, what I am not sure is which one is counted as one hit? Guess I can assume if miles are posted from the participating vendors, then that is a hit !?
No. The hits posts when they post (i.e., when the activity line appears in a user's account). The tiers -- that is, the various plateaus representing whole multiples of 4 hits (4, 8, 12, und so weiter) -- are credited by US, and the resulting bonus miles posted, every two weeks, as stated in the GS rules:
