A little half and half anyone? Some bonuses starting to post...

So here's the scoop.  A number of Flyertalkers are starting to report that their bonuses are posting.  And some aren't.  A number of people have called customer service at US and the general consensus is that there is no general consensus.  It appears that the tier bonuses could appear anytime from tomorrow through the next two weeks.  Great, combine airline customer service with IT and get pretty much any airline promotion that has run this year.

Most of the other news is good.  It is virtually impossible to confirm, but it does appear that the Audience Rewards trivia is counting as a hit.  This bonus is extra nice, since AR has proven very difficult to deal with.  My Hertz hit posted, as did the Trackitback.  People are reporting some issues with Sharebuilder, though.

I did manage to get a hit this weekend, eating at a local restaurant for Dividend Miles Dining.  Zero cost, since I would have eaten there anyway.  This hit was making me nervous.  It is so simple to get that it would be easy to just keep putting it off and never getting around to it.  Glad it's out of the way.

Most importantly, though, happy new year to everyone, Jewish or not.  May your new year be fruitful and sweet.  It's been rough around the country for the past year, so I'm rooting for everyone out there.

An oldie but goodie: Track it Back makes hit #18

Lucky #18 and the half-way point belongs to Track it Back, a company that produces little stickers that you can put on the back of electronic goods so that people can return them if you lose them.  TiB is best known in FF circles, however, as  the guys who were offering 40 miles per dollar while US was doing a 250% partner bonus promo, allowing scores of frequent flyers to earn 140 miles per dollar spent.  Ah, the good ol' days.  $24.57 for a sticker gives them a great profit margin and me another hit.  That includes the world's most expensive shipping envelope at $4.99.

SkyMall and my Wyndham points conversion were kind enough to post last night, giving me nine veritable hits.
