First 2 tiers posted today, off 10 hits. Not sure which 10, though - so I'm wondering if the first hit for the SkyMall counted because it's showing 9/14 as the purchase date. Maybe Biscoff didn't count yet since it posted the same day as the bonus points, and no idea about Audience Rewards. Will have to wait until the next tier I guess.

Did anyone else get a double sweep yesterday?
In the morning I had 14 posted hits (by my count) and got the tiered bonus for 12 hits. During the day 5 more hits posted, and I got the tiered bonus for 16 hits (including PQMs) in the evening.
I wish I had 20 posted so I could confirm they all have counted so far.

I know the rules say that the free quote wont count. However, I read of several people who did the free quote hoping that it would count as a 'secret' hit. I was looking for a datapoint. Otherwise I am going to do it myself in this sweep.

You and me both. I got nothing in the first sweep and 12 in the second, although 16 have posted as of 9/29. I think we're waiting until next time, though.
I've got either one of two cases working for me. Either:
A) Some hits that posted on 9/29 simply didn't count.
B) Audience Rewards Trivia doesn't count and everything else was counted correctly.
Given the number of people who seemed to get AR counted, I'm going with A.

FTD
Last year, FTD was the problem post for me. It was January before I got them to follow through and post the miles. So, yes, I'll be relieved when that hit shows up for me for this year. OTOH other FTers did not have any issue and their miles posted promptly last year.

I did the quote, but the miles haven't posted for it in general, so I can't tell if it will or will not count.

I'm also trying to test a "secret" hit with Magazine Mileage Awards. Unfortunately, the 1,000 miles for the mag I ordered on 9/15 have not yet posted.
Curious whether anyone has ever used MMA to get miles. It's a longshot, but if you have and have the ability to look back in your account to see how long it took to post, I'd be grateful so I can figure out whether I'm on track to get the miles eventually or whether I should be making calls to chase the miles.
I'm keeping the account at exactly 4 hits to test this, but if the miles don't post by the next sweep, I'll need to give up so I can do more hits before November 14.

I had a tough time with MMA as well. I spent 600 miles for Cigar magazine, and a week went by and it didn't post. On another account I spent 400 miles for Sunset magazine and the -400 posted instantly. I went back to my account, ordered Sunset magazine and both mags posted instantly (-600 and -400). Odd.
The entity I'm talking about is Magazine Mileage Awards. This is also listed as a partner on US's web site. It's different from MFM in that you pay cash for magazines and you get miles. It is not listed as a partner that can generate a "hit" as part of the GS promotion in the official terms and conditions or rules. However, I've been curious whether it might be a "secret" hit, because it seems weird to me that it's not on the list and I wonder whether US's computers are really going to kick it out as a hit. I have no reason to believe it will be a hit, but am curious, so one of my family members is using an account to experiment. But, as noted, the miles have not yet posted for my magazine order, so I'm wondering whether anyone else out there has used it in the past to get miles and might be able to tell me whether this is unusual or routine.

Grand Slam scorecard
I just got am email from US airways stating that I have earned 11 hits so far.... this matches up with my spreadsheet & verifies to me that Audience Rewards trivia as well as a non-funded sharebuilder account both count as hits!
