FYI you cannot get a hit from chronomed anymore because the US Airways offer shows up as expired.

No different than any other hit. The Activity Date has to be 9/1/2010 - 11/14/2010, Posting Date can be as late as 2/25/2011. If you do a hotel stay, I'd suggest checking out no later than 11/14/2010 to be safe.

Re MagsforMiles - I ordered Maxim for just 100 points on 28 October using the link on post #5105 and the hit posted on 4 November. I also order Coastal Living for 400 points the same day and got the confirmation email, but no sign of the hit and it doesn't appear on the link posted just above (thanks for that ARW), so it looks like that one is out of stock. Bargain for 100 points even if Maxim is hardly of interest to the mate to whom it is heading!
Also I've (or rather hubby has) done the points.com 92 DM -> 4 CO -> 1 DM transfer today, starting from scratch with points.com, having enrolled in the CO FF programme last night. Instant and easy-peasy.
Just waiting on the Goldpoints transfer then I am done, although I've only managed 4,000 miles for me and 8,000 for hubby as so many things are not available to me in the UK. Was it worth the effort/stress/obsession? Probably not.

For all of you guys who purchased on Wine Insiders!
I had a long discussion now with Wine Insiders. First was the usual blah blah blah "it will take two weeks"...
To summarize: They refused to give any miles for Wine Insiders purchases.
According to them, it was written on the groupon vouchers, that two "special promotions" cannot be combined.
I explained them that on the US Airways there was no "special promotion" because there was only one single choice: One could order the wine and get 1k miles.
Further to that, I explained that they changed the T&Cs on their websites one week ago. - Why? - Because it was not written that Groupon and US cannot be combined.
My urgent advice to all of you who ordered Wine Insiders:

- Refuse the payment with your credit card
Managed to get my sentry quote from Europe. Claimed I was hearing impaired (partly true, according to some authoratives), to get quote by e-mail.

You can search for "chronomed" using the thread search feature to find postings regarding chronomed. And to answer your question, yes someone has received a posted hit from chronomed.

Did you do the one month free promotion? That's what I did about a month ago and I haven't seen anything yet.

Posted Activity Date must be no later than 14 November 2010. I think different hotel programs may have a different Activity Date policy (e.g. some may use check-in date, some may use check-out date), but in general a check-out date of 14 November 2010 should qualify for a hit.
If it was me and I was staying at a hotel that I will be checking out in on the 12th and check out on the 14th, I will do two reservations to be on the safe side. Or if I was checking in on the 11th and checking out on the 15th, I will do multiple reservations to be on the safe side.

In my case, I'm only going for 30k miles. I already have enough miles with other airlines to last me for the next couple of years and in the meantime I can score more, very cheaply, to replenish the stash. This promotion is an obsession, even for me, and it's easy to get blinded by the potential reward. Not trying to judge anyone, but maybe inject a sense of what you are giving up in your pursuit for the Holy Grail.

I'm still waiting for my rental car run at the DCA Hertz to post (done on 10/31). Someone mentioned they post every other Thursday/Friday. At what point should I start calling folks about my miles? Each receipt shows I earned X number of miles...
Also, does anyone know what the exchange rates are for SPG and HH points to DM is? I've got a few Amex MR points I'm looking to throw into either SPG or HH so I can get the hotel transfer points hits

I just talked to customer service at Network Solutions, and after checking with supervisors, they confirmed that using coupons will disqualify you from getting miles, regardless of what your email receipt says. It's one or the other, coupon or miles. So prepare for a battle...
