Yes, they did. But most people had to fight for it. Including having the activity date manually adjusted. Others gave up. And it was awful two years in a row. My point is that the hassle is gone. I'll find another hit. Actually, I believe I have enough points in almost every hotel transfer partner this year so I'm excited about that one. Only one I'm missing is Wyndham and that's just because I couldn't ignore the 75% bonus in June. Though I suppose I should have saved a single batch. With a little luck TopGuest will get me enough by mid November.

NY residents are also excluded, although there's an office in Albany. I live almost on the PA line and could probably borrow a PA address. The nearest office seems to be Harrisburg, which I passed through when staying in 6 different hotels in 6 consecutive nights for last year's GS.

Getting 36 hits shouldn't be too much of a problem. 6 hotels is easy since there are Econolodges and Rodeways around the corner from me that are about $32-35 a night. 6 car rentals is another story because I really need to rent cars right now but to get good rates I need to hold onto one car for longer periods. Still probably can figure something out. I already have 4 of the 9 transfers ready to go. I could buy up 2 more quite easily and a couple of stays in Wyndhams on Labor day weekend will get me enough to do that transfer. I will get at least 7 there. e-miles is close to ready to transfer, e-rewards is ready with some left to prop-up Hilton or possibly another hotel partner. Toolbar is a freebie, one debit card transaction, 3 flowers orders, points.com for a purchase and a transfer, I didn't do Netflix last year so I'll give it a try this year, 1 for shopping mall, 1 for Skymall, Biscoff, insurance quote, I wonder if the free Audience rewards that are available for the quizes is accepted?, Officemax, Thanks again, and that's already 36 or more...
Very exciting...
