Last year's thread has 7,695 posts and 466,119 views.

This subforum is definitely more manageable. For example, I have all my hotel hits so have never opened this year's hotel stays thread. I don't need to read about Mr. Patel at the Columbus Travelodge (or wherever) who will do no show rooms for $36.

But inquiring minds do need to know such things - can we not ride a Supershuttle to not get to that Travelodge in Columbus so cannot visit our $10 Thanks Again/Extra Space Storage 509 locker?

fwiw, on 1-800-Flowers there's a $7.00 item (+ $7.99 shipping):

Fannie Mae peanut butter fudge that appears good for a hit & 140 miles.

(bummed the chocolate was so much more expensive)

Good find; thank you. I just did a dummy purchase & confirmed all of these specifics. Post #1 updated.

Tried to order from Teleflora tonight, I have decided to go with the "Pretty Pink" for my mum's upcoming Bday. However when I clicked through the 25 miles per $ spend link on the US Airways site, the banner said "Sorry, promotional code not found". I did try to go further to the check out process, it did not recognized the promo code that was in the box (which was the same one as embedded in the link).

Have anyone else come across this recently? I am planning to contact teleflora tomorrow via chat/phone to complete my order if it's necessary.

Why wouldn't this count as a hit? Throughout the entire ordering process, the US Airways banner appeared at the top of the page. Moreover, I was asked to enter my US Airways number.

Are you sure?

This definitely counts as a thread. I'm quite sure of that.

It probably counts as a hit, but i won't chime in on that.

Did someone report getting miles for Fannie Mae? And a hit? Or are both sides speculating? It seems like it should but the posts above are confusing. Thanks.

I don't know definitively since I just placed the order...but, as I said above, the US Airways banner stayed at the top of the page while moving from storefront to storefront after entering 800-flowers. And, the banner stayed during the checkout process. I printed the final page and the banner is on the printout.

Yes. The first report was almost a month ago; see http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/17141240-post504.html. Since then, there have been other confirmations, either here or in How Many Hits?

The post above that says otherwise is not credible.
