it would be nice if their "forgot login or password" button would work properly

Again I purchased something all the way thru to my credit card details and nothing about us DM number.

DO I need to register with these shopping mAll (sky mall, officemax,tele flora) or can I checkout as a guest.

And if I put my friends US Address and not the one I have registered with us air will I still get a "hit"!

I just did that one. 3 Best Buy --> 1 US air
I see that CO,AA and ICHG require 10K minimum.

Am I doing something wrong?

I tried swapping 10 PC for 1 DM, but next to that option is says "Min move of 10000 required" and won't let me exchange.

Edit - tried the 3 MR - 1 DM transfer as well, but says "Min move of 1000 required".

How is everyone doing this?

Au contraire, mon petit mouchoir. AA requires a four mile minimum. Do you have <25,000 miles?

But I still wish that my BB points hadn't expired.

xxx: Hello. How may I assist you?

you: it seems i have forgotten my password, and i haven't had luck using the "submit" button when requesting it. I have tried two different browsers

xxx: I'd be happy to help you with this matter, just a moment please while I check your account.

xxx: Are you accessing from home or work?

you: work. have also tried using browser on my smartphone

xxx: That is the issue. Unfortunately many employers restrict access to the website, and it is not compatible with smart phones as yet.

you: restricting access to click the "submit" button to recover my password? i am able to access all of the site

xxx: Yes I've noticed some parts work and not others.

you: is there a way to reset my password so i can create a new one?

xxx: Unfortunately not sorry.

you: so i have to wait until i use my home PC to be able to try and request it again? can you not send an email to my email on file?

you: an email with that info (password), that is^

xxx: You will have to access from an alternate PC, I apologize for the inconvenience.

you: godzilla. alright. thank you

---------
apparently the forgot password button is outsourced

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised. As others have pointed out, these guys have a horrendous website.

more than 1 day pending

I exchanged 4 AA to 1 DM yesterday morning and it is still pending. Is it normal? I saw others posts that it was instant or a day.

Maybe something to do with AA? My Best Buy to US posted instantly. It is even showing on my Dividend miles statement that came via email about an hour after I did the transfer! Sure hope it worked for you.
