Thanks for contacting them -- I contacted them too and they sounded excited to put any and all donated tickets to good use.
I also contacted the folks at "CarolinaTix" and asked what the best procedure would be for "Will Call" tickets (e.g. like for the SlamCharlotte Poetry Slam)
This is what I was told the procedure should probably be:
--You buy the ticket
--You get a purchase confirmation (with confirmation #) by e-mail
--You send this confirmation number and message to the USO
--The USO then matches this donated ticket to a specific person
--The USO provides the name of this person to CarolinaTix
--CarolinaTix will make the ticket available for pickup by THAT person
(I assume E-Tickets would follow a similar procedure as Will Call Tickets)
Sounds like this will all go quite smoothly! I was waiting to hear back if they had a preferred e-mail at the USO, but that was already taken care of by Nangress. ^ So if you wish to donate your SlamCharlotte tickets (or any others) to the North Carolina USO, please send them to [email protected]. If I hear back from NC-USO that they want them sent elsewhere, I'll update this message.
Thanks and please spread the word to other Grand Slam SlamCharlotte ticket holders!

Great work Alumino, I just forwarded my confirmation to the USO e-mail address that you suggested, I hope that someone actually gets to enjoy it now, while I enjoy the hit that it generated!

getAbstract and Swapping Amex Points to DM Miles
Quick question for fellow GrandSlammers...
Thinking about using the getAbstract offer for a hit... However, when I go to check out, it says I will get 3000 points for the 6-month subscription where the original page says 4000 points. Does anyone else see this?
Also - My Amex registration on Points.com seems to be broken, and while they fix it (ticket already submitted), does anyone know what the minimum swap is from Amex Points to DM Miles?
Thanks!

It seems like we're flashmobbing some of the cheaper/easier hits. A restaurant is mystified by a bunch of orders to be delivered to a shelter. Skymall ran out of 9v batteries, and 800-Flowers ran out of the NASCAR bear.
I wonder if anyone went to the poetry slam in Charlotte, and if the performers had a half-empty house despite being sold out.

Incorrect Miles posted
I bought $12 from Skymall and I see 12 miles posted. It is supposed to be 3 miles per dollar spent.
I bought $15 worth on 800-Flowers and received 150 miles. Am I supposed to received the rest at a later date?
EDIT- sorry ,didn't know where it goes so started thread
