Redemption Event from early March is due to post today. Who's going to be the first to notice when it does?

Update 1:26pm, Mine just posted. Check your accounts.

I had 323 miles post but it says Redeem big event and I think that there was also a redemption event on at the same time and I did redeem for evouchers but that isn't the correct value either.
Did other people get the full 500 miles?

20X Event from early March is due to post today. Who's going to be the first to notice when it does?

Update 1:26pm, Mine just posted. Check your accounts.

The 15x and 20x offer posted for me on March 23, albeit both incorrectly.

Today was a Redeem Big event posting.

I received 1330 AMs and it says 'Redeem Big Event'. I redeemed for a bunch of gift cards but I don't know what I was supposed to get or if I did get the right amount. I don't remember the terms. Still, 1330 is a nice bonus.

 

[ottawamom]

Yes it was the Redeem Event. I got so excited about getting the AM I quoted the wrond event name. I did an
Amazon GC, Flights to get to a cruise and one last GC to make sure I got the 1500.

Okay thanks all - I don't know how they got such an odd number but I will take the miles.

Fingers crossed, Mel. I know how those shots can make a world of difference.

 

[bababear_50]

Thanks for the positive thoughts.
I managed to sweep out the gragage and move a planter this morning and it's only 8 am.
Dr says it takes a few days to work it's magic ,,we will see, almost $500 a shot,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
We are trying Hyaluronic acid shots as the cortisone ones were not helping much.

Now off to enjoy my coffee. Since when did it become 60 cents for a small pack of jam at Tim Hortons.? That's just riddikulus! .................

I'll be watching your results. That's my next step. The cortisone shots I had just before we went away took 13 days to 'kick' in. Things are better (I don't need my cane to be walking to the bathroom at night), but still some pain, that a couple of times a week that requires Tylenol Arthritis. Granted I haven't been doing my exercises, so now that we're home, I'll be more vigilant with that.
$500 a knee? Yikes! I'd better get saving!

 

[ottawamom]

Joining in the knee watch! You're both describing things that I know are in my future. Still waiting for an MRI to tell me exactly what's going on. Meanwhile, exercises, walking and lots of ice...

I'm going to chime in here and say that the knee replacements I had done were the best thing and truly gave me new life. I was having shots of cortisone and Synvisc but it just stopped doing anything to alleviate the pain. I was eating Arthritis strength Tylenol like it was candy. I had to take at least 3 before bed time or I couldn't even fall asleep. Doctors did not like that because Tylenol isn't good for long term use, but I had to do what I had to do.
It was suggested I have knee replacement many years ago but I was worried about it so kept putting it off. Now that they are both done I can see where I would have been much better to have had it done when first suggested. If this is something your doctor suggests and you're worried about it, don't be. Do it. It really is life changing. If your doctor hasn't suggested it, ask if you might be a candidate. It sure beats shots and pills.
Hope I didn't overstep here. Just thought I would mention my experience.

No over stepping here ,,
I love to hear what others are trying and doing and have done.

This is me at night ever
since that Luggage cart hit me.

 

[ottawamom]

I so understand that sentiment.

 

[bababear_50]

Pharmacy called me this morning to say I owed them $28 for a medication delivered next door to my Dr office on Sat, Uh NO I already paid the $500 a month ago for the shot. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
ok let me go over to dr office and check.
Calls back to say they gave me the wrong shot..............................................................

Now what to do.................................................
Surgeon contacted via fax in New York.................................................................
Oh sorry........................................

Atleast it was only Cortisone shot and not something else.
Medication mistakes are common apparently.

What a day
Hugs Mel

So usa, Disney is not getting our money for our yearly trip. Just booked Banff for my daughter and I for May. Looking forward to it as I used to work for the ski hills years ago, now I get to show her all around.

So now I’m 3 for 3 orders of my Petsmart AM not posting. Not sure why. I tried picking up at a different location this time and still no AM. We get the email afterwards from Petsmart confirming the pick up.
My Walmart order posted so my thoughts that it was my computer somehow is not it.
