My Thanks Again purchase showed up as:

In other words, no credit for Thanks Again.

Not listing for me either. I contacted Thanks Again CS, was told it was now posted, and it still isn't. We'll see...

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.

The whole thing is odd. Very very odd.

Are you running the DM Toolbar? If so, it will take over the commission for affiliated merchants and therefore get you the DM Shopping miles instead of the ThanksAgain miles for that 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.

The toolbar is usurping? While it sounds strange it does superficially explain what i experienced.

OK, next step, bye bye toolbar (until Oct 1).

Thanks for the (belated) warning.

That's the first time I've ever heard this explanation. Do you know whether running the DM toolbar (but not actually using it to do a particualr search) will usurp a purchase made on another airline's shopping mall?

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.
