In other words, no credit for Thanks Again.

What did you do to try to get the Restaurant.com hit through ThanksAgain? You must log in to your ThanksAgain account and then click through to Restaurant.com (preferably clearing your Restaurant.com cookies prior to clicking through).

Hey that's Captain Obvious to you!
The only reason I mention it is that some may think they have to use a ThanksAgain-registered CC on Restaurant.com and that's it - obviously that is incorrect. Others may think that repeated references to Restaurant.com achieving a ThanksAgain hit meant navigating to Restaurant.com through DM Shopping - again, that is also incorrect.
In your case, it seems to be mixed-up cookies, since the Restaurant.com purchase credited to DM Shopping instead of ThanksAgain.

It's like DM took out the middle man (Thanks Again). I knew something's odd due to getting 11miles per $ and the posting was not for Thanks Again... however I did link through the site... however Thanks Again doesn't show a record of my purchase.

I have noticed that my toolbar indicates that I am "not earning" when I click through the USAir site for one of the Grand Slam partners. But some of my hits have posted despite this. Skymall is one I remember in particular.

OK, next step, bye bye toolbar (until Oct 1).
Thanks for the (belated) warning.

I made a purchase on AA's shopping mall last week that I'm counting on earning AA miles. I will be royally ticked if this earns a few piddly US miles rather than 5,000 AA miles.
