Sorry I wasn't clear. Burgh's post on the first page lists Thrifty parking ($4.50) and asks the question whether there were any other locations besides SAT. I was curious myself, so I looked it up and posted what I found. I figure even if it isn't your home airport, if you are renting a car at that location you could swing in, pay an hour of parking and get the hit. As for getting the hit credit, I don't know. True you are not renting a car, but Thrifty is one of the 130 partners listed and this does earn miles. I'd be interested to know as well if anyone tried this on last year's Grand Slam.

Without buying something or making a donation, it takes me about two to four months to earn 500 miles (going from 0 to 500). With 300 miles, you can do it within a month or two...last year, it took me six weeks to do the additional 200 miles. If you make a donation (i.e. $ 20) to a charitable organization, you should get 500 miles at $ 20 as well as a tax deducation.
had to sign up with a new account and only have about 300 now :/

How are you guys seeing 300 miles on e-miles? I can only find 275 for signing up and doing all the profiles.

I have registered. I don't think that US Airways send confirmation e-mails. CO sends confirmation e-mails which I think is nice. I take a screen shot of my registration and save it as a graphic file; print the webpage as a .PDF file as well as making a Camtasia movie of the enrollment in case if there is an issue. Vigilance is required in the event of treachery.

I would imagine that different DM partners and even outlets of the same partner could vary, and I have no idea what gets reported to US. However, I tried a few times to credit hotel stays to my wife's MP account when she wasn't with me and they wouldn't do it with the reservation in my name. Admittedly, I never tried to con them by making the reservation in her name and using some excuse about why she didn't come in to check in.

"Bonus miles will begin posting on September 20, 2010 and continue posting every other week until the last posting February 28, 2011."
Is it better to get four low-hanging hits right away and wait until the 20th to verify that you are getting the bonus miles?
I don't want to start transferring hotel points in and then find out there was a problem. I have registered several times, but have not received any emails. I did keep a screen shot of the registration.

A line in the rules for this promo makes me wonder if Magazines for Miles will actually earn a hit:
"Activity where no miles are earned does not count towards hits or Grand Slam bonus miles."
MagsforMiles is listed as a partner alright, but it seems I'll be spending miles with them, rather than earning any....
In a desperate bid to get some miles into my DM account, I'd requested a transfer from e-miles a couple of weeks ago that hasn't actually shown up yet. If it does appear while this promo is in effect, will I earn a hit? Or will it post with an August date an not be eligible?
Thanks all. I've learned so much from you.

My e-miles postings always have the redemption date, meaning you'll have an August activity date with a September posting date. It goes by date of activity so you're out of luck on that one for this promo, unfortunately.

few questions/comments.
the points.com redirect isn't working for me from US website. do you have to sign up via the redirect or can u go straight to www.points.com/dividend-miles?
supper shuttle has a few discount codes (retailmenot.com) to save an extra $2-3. It's about $17 from DFW to downtown Dallas.
do you have to have one paid month with lifelock, or can you cancel at the 30day mark and still get points?
