Triple Dip Update

UPDATE: It took 4 months for my Continental bonus miles to post!!

In my post "Possible Triple Dip with MileagePlus Shopping Portal" I said that I would try to triple or quadruple dip using the MileagePlus & Ultimate Rewards to purchase a $75 e-Gift Certificate from drugstore.com.

Here are my results:

- Received 300 miles with Continental MileagePlus Shopping Portal (awaiting the 500 bonus miles).
- Received 75 American Airlines miles for using the Citi AA Amex Card.
- Struck out with Ultimate Rewards, they don't award miles for purchasing or redeeming gift cards with drugstore.com

New Plan to Triple Dip:
I also purchased a $75 e-Gift Certificate with my husband's account in order to receive an additional 300 miles with Continental MileagePlus Shopping Portal and an additional 500 bonus miles with the promotion they had. I plan on using this e-Gift Certificate through BigCrumbs for 8.4% cashback.

Receiving:
800 United/Continental Miles
75 American Airlines Miles
$6.30 Cashback

Update On: Earn 100,000 miles with United/Continental or American Airlines & Delta with Fidelity

I posted how one can earn 100,000 miles with United/Continental or American Airlines & Delta with Fidelity and an Apple Gift Card from $100-$500. I wanted to update everyone on my success with achieving this. I am happy to inform everyone that I have now received all my miles and credit from Apple for $100. It seems that even though I had applied for all three promotions at the same time, with United being first,  this didn't effect anything.

I plan on continuing to do the transfers until I am awarded $500 credit with Apple, because I would love to have the $499 iPad 2. Of course, being the Deals Seeker that I am, I won't  pay for it!

I also would like to get an iPhone or Droid. I will have to figure out how to get it for free. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
