SPG how?

I did it to my acct already? But US DM acct is saved in my SPG profile, I can't change it. So I can not transfer SPG points to another US DM acct? I am wondering how?

Help! Thanks,

So, does that mean that anyone with Gold status at Starwood can transfer 1 mile 10 times to give someone 10 hits??

If that is true, why wouldn't there be Starwood Golds offering that to non-Golds? In return for something else of course.

If this is true and you're interested, PM me. I'll give you cash for your 10 miles

No, the receiver of any number of SPG points with get one hit.

4 Rentals on Fri

As always, make sure that your US air FF number is on your profile while making the reservation - easiest way to ensure it posts properly.
I followed your link and booked 4 rentals this Fri at PHL this morning. I did get the discount. Total for each is from $22 to $25. I will have to go there to check in and check out this Fri.

Thanks.

Anyone have any experience for how long it takes Hertz to post 50 miles for a 1 day rental? I'm seeing a few days, 2-4 weeks, 4-6 weeks, 6-8 weeks...I can't seem to find this info on their site.

One of my 1-day rentals posted in 6 days. The other in 9 days. I had the car for a few hours (morning-evening) each time.

Hertz seems to be a pain! I have been waiting one week and five days now. Requested the miles from Gold club and they confirmed that it was transfered to DM. Thus, the bottleneck is with Divident Miles.

PS: Hertz to M&M works usually after two days

for anyone actually starting a wine membership with vinesse:

i started the american cellars one. 6 bottles. half price off your first shipment. Should have been roughly $45 shipped. Charged about $90. Apparently the promo code entered "didn't take", so i had to call and have them credit me back the difference. i think you're supposed to get 2000 miles in addition to 5 miles per dollar spent. i have no use for the wine tasters guide, and ~$8 per bottle seems like a much better deal if you'll actually drink them.

will cancel my membership here in a couple-three weeks

I have several Alamo and National rentals from multiple locations during the first week of September, none of which have posted to my Dividend Miles account yet. My guess is that Dividend Miles is holding up posting of car rentals (Alamo, Hertz, National, etc.) for some reason.

Has anyone received Dividend Miles credit yet for Alamo, Hertz, or National rentals picked up and returned in September?

Alamo at Union Station in DC

I did six rentals at the Union Station Alamo this past Saturday, using the $15 per day weekend rental promo.

The woman at the counter was very nice -- I used one car for the day, my friend took another (the woman waived the additional driver fee), and then rung up the other 4 rentals, closing them within minutes of opening them as driven 1 mile each.

Union Station also avoids the airport surcharge, saving me a few bucks, as well as the time of getting to the airport.

I've been charged for all 6 rentals already, and but the miles have not hit yet.. Will update this as soon as they have.

When I post Hertz, Budget, Avis to my United account, they always show up within a week. However, US Airways seems to be pretty slow. I just checked my last rentals on my US Account:

06/17/2010 07/01/10 Budget (14 days)
07/02/2010 07/15/10 Avis (13 days)
07/05/2010 07/18/10 Hertz (13 days)
08/09/2010 08/18/10 Avis (9 days)
08/17/2010 09/04/10 Hertz (18 days)

Many car rental companies only hand out airline miles when renting from Airport locations. Did you check that a Union Station rental will indeed earn miles?
