Started looking at computer memory. Last fall I made a purchase through the portal at Crucial Technology for 5 points per dollar. Nice!

Well today, I noticed they are no longer listed :angry:

Not memory but, a purchase made today through PCM (2 points per dollar) posted same day (today) as pending :p
 
In December I ordered a book from Barnes & Noble as a gift as an experiment since Amazon was out of stock on the title. B&N failed the test: the book showed up, but the points never did. It became apparent why in January when B&N disappeared from the Shopping Mall.

Not enough points (18) to complain to AGR about, but it will be a factor the next time I consider any purchase from B&N. :angry:

Points can take more than 90 days to post when shopping. I bought a pair of shoes from JC Penney, first week in December and finally got credit in late February. I've had credits posted in much longer time than that. The points for shopping credits can be notoriously slow.

I'll take that under advisement. However, given B&N's Nook issues-their UK Nook business just closed abruptly under odd circumstances-I don't really expect to ever see those points.
 
I was shopping online a month or two ago, buying from Drugstore.com. At that time they were offering 7 points per dollar spent, now only 5. So that can change at any time also. Still a fairly good deal.
 
I bought a new pair of Sorels (winter boots) from Shoebuy yesterday (8 points/$).

Before the end of the day I had an email that I had 800 pending points. I did notice that the date on the purchase was 10-3-2016. Do we have a European running the site?

If anyone wants to buy shoes or boots, go to Shoebuy before they cut back the points per $.
