They are really pushing the envelope

I just got my wine guide. It's a cheap paper note book that appears to have been returned to them and they figured they'd sell it to me. It has a piece of scotch tape on the cover and an X marked on it (for damage I think). The back cover has a huge gash in it. The color wrap around the note book is all discolored and has ink smudges on it. I guess the people at Vinesse feel that if we are dumb enough to pay the inflated prices we are dumb enough to keep them and not complain.
Nope, I'm going to complain.

Wine for $8,99

Can anyone tell if buying a single wine will get a hit, it seems there is just for $8,99 cheapest and quite a few under $10, I guess it has much more sense buying it rather than notebook. Can anyone verify a hit?

I can't verify the hit, but feel obligaed to point out that shipping will add $16 or more to the cost of wine, which is why so many people have opted to buy semi-useless aprons/books/chillers instead.

Donate them to goodwill and jack up the worth.

then you'll get a hit and a tax deduction.

where to put in Us-member number

I want to place a repeat order (since the wine book is sould out)for an existing account. Before submit the order I realized that there is no field to put in the US DM number. Any idea how to finalize the order in combination with my Dm number ?

Dont log into your account, start from the line on the US Airways site and do your shopping - at checkout you can put in your DM# - if I remember

Should I be concerned if I've put an order after logging in to the account? I thought they have my DM number on file. Should I contact the customer service?

Does Vinesse have a promotion department, or is there someone there who's familiar with how Vinesse posts? I hear that the activity date is erratic so I'd like to make sure I don't miss the cutoff.

Their IT is a desaster (not safe if you login with the same recipients address. )
Also Miss Malo***, a Service Representative appears confused in her emails.

Of course, this is a joke. But, donate them to charity using a fair market value, and get a tax deduction for your donation.
