it works!!!

I've always gotten good advice how how to ? but never had anything that would help anyone until now Someone once posted that if you take your web certificate number and exp date to TDS and have the CM manually put the # in you could buy $DD without having to pay the $6.95 for the plastic card. Well I finally got enough points to get the Webbie and off I went to TDS well it worked like a charm!! I hope this little bit of advice can help someone!!

This is great! I was a little confused about the whole webcert and card idea, and I'm almost ready to get my first webcert from my points. So, can you help me? I assume I check the box on my points that I want a certificate for 25.00 (that's how much I've earned) What happens next? Did you print out the certificate, or do you get mailed something? Please let me know, I am so excited about the DD! I plan to use them at the restaurants, Hoping to get some meals cheaply!

Sure I'll be glad to help you!!! I feel so honored this is the first time anyone has asked me for help!! I'm not real good with computers so besides all the good advice I get from these boards most of the time it's trail and error!!! Anywasy back to your question I jussst clicked on to order my certificate the in a few days I got an email with instructions to activate it. Well being the computer whizz I am (HAHAHA)
I couldn't figure out what to do to get it activated so some one on these boards had a phone # so I called and they were sooo nice activated the card over the phone from there I got the account # from the webcertificate website and went to TDS and explained the whole rewards program to the CM just in case the card did'nt work I didn't what her to think I wsa over my limit or had an expired or stolen card. I think I had her a little confused but she put the account # manually in and lo and behold it worked!!! I walked out of there with ten DD and very very happy!!!! The phone # 1-800-511-1781 just in casse you'd need it Good luck and let me know how things went!! Glad to have been of help!!!

I'm just as computer illliterate as you! Ha ha ha!

So let me get this straight - you didn't get the plastic card that acts like a mastercard? YOu just got the account number off of the webcertificate site? Thanks a lot for the phone number, I've already stored it with my info about the various reward programs. I can hardly wait to get the DD. We're going in Aug 2002, it's too far away!

No I didn't get the plastic card (I saved the $6.95 charge!!) After I talked to the people over the phone and they activated my account I went on the web certificate and got my account # and took that along with the exp date to TDS and got my $DD the account # is set up just like a MC Or Visa card. Gee I wass happy with $10 how did you get $25 good for you!!! Good luck ane let me know how things turn out
