Whatever siding I'm sitting on!
I was at Petco recently to pick up stuff for my cats. They had things on sale, but not enough of them in stock. While walking out to my car, I got a great idea! :D

I'll check and order the things online at Points for Shopping - and get some AGR points too! ;)

So I pulled out my iPhone and went to the AGR site. No problem! I signed into my account. No problem! I wanted to go to the Points for Shopping portal. BIG PROBLEM! :eek:

There is no way to get to the Points for Shopping from the mobile site! From the desktop/laptop/netbook, you can. But not from the cell phone! :( So even at a store like Best Buy or Sears that offer in-store pickup, you can't order from your phone and get AGR points! :(
 
Guess its time to shop for a new phone eh so you can order stuff while on the train w/o

using your lap-top!!!Im no high tech guru, cant even figure out my new phone,guess Ill

have to keep on using my PC!(Retirees generally dont have Lap-tops or notebooks and fancy phones!LOL)

Well there in lies your problem, you are trying to do it on an iPhone. Not knocking the iPhone here or anything. When you do it on a regular computer when you click it redirects you through a path that says oh look you came from AGR and your in the points mall. Well iPhone 3.0 doesn't handle this very well. It opens 3 new windows. Well tries anyway. Your going to have to hold out for the AGR iPhone App. Or download the developer pack and make it yourself :lol:
 
Actually, all they need to do is add a "View Full HTML Site" button to the AGR mobile page, just like Amtrak has on their mobile site. That would solve the problem.
