OK I have to say that everytime I check FT and see a new posting in this thread a part of me gets a little excited that just perhaps someone is posting good news. And then..........

The rampant speculation seems to be unnecessary. Everyone will know one way or another soon enough.
Never bet on a promo happening. Meaning you shouldn't go out of your way spending money for something that may or may not occur such as buying points in some hotel program you'd likely never use on their own. Stick to the freebies, as they're always a good way to top off any partner when you need it, promo or not. Just be rational.

@______ please stay tuned for new and exciting promotions within the Dividend Miles program. Thanks. ^KM
That doesn't sound good for GS 2012 because I am to stay tuned for something "NEW".

Seeing as it took me 20 days and FT to even know about the 30 Days for DC (where I live), I can't imagine they're getting the successful publicity that GS gets. Hopefully that means something to US.

Just talked to someone from U.S. Airways. At this point, they do not intend to have the U.S. Grand Slam this year. it has nothing to do with AA bankruptcy. The Marketing dept made the decision. However, she said it could change.
The new promotion is buying U.S. Airways miles with 100% bonus . I received the offer this morning.. I just hope this is not it.

I just wish US would make an official announcement one way or another so we can finish booking hotels for Sept in Brazil. If it's not going to happen, I would rather stay in local pousadas than chain hotels.

IIRC, there was a 2 or 3 day overlap of ending of 100% bonus and start of GS

Then the bonus went away. Then they raised the price during the GS. Oy.

My speculation is that US marketing is responding to tweets asking about GS in a noncommittal way just to increase buzz around the promotion. While I agree that there is no guarantee it will be back, the most troubling information I saw way back on this thread was the indication from someone at points.com to the poster that GS would not be held this year. But until I know better, I will reserve my erewards and emiles in hope of GS 2012.
