For some merchants, the toolbar says "click here to earn X miles", for others it simply says "you will earn X miles". My (reasonably educated) guess is it usurps in the latter case, and Restaurant.com falls into that category.

EDIT: I just tried going through TA to Restaurant.com, and the toolbar clearly says "You have arrived to this site through another source... to Earn rewards, click on...". Nonetheless, I would personally uninstall the Toolbar or at least disable the rewards earning.

I'm pretty sure that there was a drop down bar that said click here to earn XX US Airways miles when I entered the vendor website, but I did not click on it since I wanted to earn AA miles.

I think I will be making my AA shopping purchases on another computer until my US toolbar miles post. Then I'll uninstall it for good.

Thanks for this. Just spent $1 on a $10 gift cert at a local restaurant that I want to visit.

I'm a little confused....so forgive me.

It says to email customer services to claim your free 100 miles.

"If you haven't done so yet, email [email protected] to claim your 100 miles simply for 'liking' our page."

Just send them a regular email? I don't really understand how this works.

Click the link to filter the wall to only the posts from TA, then scroll down to September 9 at 2:32pm for the (simple) instructions.

Yes, it's that simple.

On 9/18, I joined TA and then I liked their page on FB.

Then I sent a regular email to that address, referencing the Facebook promo. I included
  • TA username
  • TA membership number (which matches my US acct #)
  • Facebook name (so they could verify the Like)

They replied by email within a few hours (and this was a Sunday):

Swag,

Thank you for becoming a FB Fan and for being a member of Thanks Again. We've posted 100 miles to your Thanks Again account. Please allow several weeks before the miles are transferred to your US Airways Dividend Miles Account.

Thanks Again for becoming a FB fan, and please tell all of your friends about us and how easy it is to earn miles with Thanks Again!

Customer Service
Thanks Again
A few days later, the 100 miles swept into my US account.

9/18/2011 09/20/11 THANKS AGAIN MILEAGE AWARD 100

restaurant.com
When I click through thanksagain to restaurant.com, the smallest option I see under (e-)gift cards is $25 for $15. And then when I try the "FALL" promo code it says "Not eligible for Promo Codes – No discount applied". Am I missing something?

I've seen lots of $10 and $5 GCs. Also, their promo codes come and go quickly. FALL was last week.

Ah...I didn't realize you had to select a restaurant first. Found one around the corner and got the $10 for $5 for $1 (FALL still works).

What did I do wrong?
My TA account shows my one $29.99 transaction, but shows 0 reward and 0 DM.
