Ah yes, has confirmed that last week email was wrong by a few days and those I thought may be fouls have actually worked

36 Hits baby!

11/23/2011 11/23/11 GRAND SLAM 2011 MULTI PARTNER BONUS - 36 20,000

All of my hits have posted and I earned 100k DM in the Grand Slam. Now that I dont have to figure out cheap ways to get hits and check my account 5 times a day for new transactions I'll have lots of time on my hands!

Yep, looks like another sweep has posted, even on a holiday! I've received all my 28 hits now, for 60K miles. Kudos to US Airways for running a tight promotion!

Game over. Final score:

11/23/2011 11/23/11 GRAND SLAM 2011 MULTI PARTNER BONUS - 28 15,000

This was the first time I did the Grand Slam, and it was a blast. Like so many others, I first targeted 16 hits, then 24, then stretched to 28. All posted with no foul balls.

Thanks to US for a well-run promotion, and thanks to everyone here for all the great tips (especially those in "Post #1" of each master topic

)! Now, some down time until pitchers and catchers report next year.

Down time? I think you're forgetting the Hot Stove League, which will remain active in the Lessons Learned and Wish List ~~divisions~~threads.

Congrats to all who reached their goals on the current sweep!

I reached 32 hits and 117K miles. Still waiting for 2 last minute car rentals and an SPG stay to credit, which will take me to 36! Should come through at the next sweep.

Am already busy gathering hotel points with chains I never stay at and completing surveys to transfer for next year.
