It does work but the computer system checks your IP number. When it realizes that you are not in the US, it does not allow you to watch the movies online.
In addition to that, it is to say that you need to sign-up with a US (hotel) address.

If you have done points.com and greenpoints link with us air, check your emails - I just got notification from US air that somebody was trying to empty my account to GP and a lot more people have been affected.

Got my Hertz rental bonuses today as well!!!
I rented 5 one day and 1 the next and all posted as separate 50 mile bonuses, so this should count as 6 different hits ^
.
EDIT: I'll update when we get the next bonus posting if it counted correctly as 6 or if there was any pain having to call and get them to correct it.

That's what I figured (strongest case with customer service). Of course, I have to wait for my free month to end first...

Interesting. I always thought that the fact that we have to enter all our awards programs' passwords into points.com increased the likelihood of a security breach.

Just went in and removed all my accounts that had any miles from my account...hopefully, this will reduce the risk of a breach.

If a breach has already occurred, it would be prudent to change the passwords or PINs on the accounts that were previously entered at points.com. (Change them at the airline or hotel company's own web site, I mean.)

21st Century Auto Insurance is going to save me $264/year on auto insurance plus give me a $50 gift card for using their auto-pay system. (Actually, the auto-insurance savings is $462, but I will now pay $198 more on my homeowners insurance because both my auto and homeowners insurance were with the same carrier.)
Since we're counting every extra dollar spent on this promo as "outlay," it seems fair to also subtract any money saved from that outlay.
Therefore, I now have 22 hits and have spent -$16.22 (yes, that's minus $16.22).
I also have gained 66,863 miles so far. That includes the 25,000 miles I will receive for getting the US Business MC (after my first purchase). And yes, I included the $79 annual fee in the outlay.

Did the 21st hit on September 7 but no miles so far.
Called them. Was first told that I need to inform US Airways that I did the quote
Told the guy on the phone that this is for sure not how it works, blah blah blah...
To cut a long story: I was informed that the miles should post in about six to eight weeks

The 2500 referred to in the post has been updated to 10,000 if I remember correctly. No idea on whether that figure has been reached already - you will have to go to their FB page to check.
