I just call them again today (Fri Jan.05) and they said they are still OOS...looks like I am really the unlucky one

The CSR told me to try it again tomorrow...so is that really really hard to order BB from LS+?

I've been able to order BB for both the months I was joined, I just had to check back every couple of days.

I think once the christmas backlog is done with it'll be a bit easier.

Try to order the HD today over the phone with LS+, and I was told no more HD with the program from now on.

How did you join?

Anyone call AH+ today? I try to order some GC. Got a recording saying "The customer you are calling is unavailable at the moment, pls try again later..." WTH is there a cell phone recording? I call the 1-866 number at the front of the membership card.

They're out of HBC AGAIN!!!!!

ok.. when u order via vistaprint, on the sign up sheet, there's two buttons on the bottom, one is LS+ and one is AH+, u can sign up both on that screen, if u passed that.. THINK only one can be signed up.

BOTH LS+ and AH+ does have BB and FS, even via vistaprint, it's just OOS now.

and for myself, both programs are 12.95.

i've never seen HMV anymore on the + program, but pier 1, brick should be all there.

I signed up LS+ via vistaprint (the pop up only mentioned LS+ but not AH+, it seems like I miss the "Special Offer" options at the bottom of my order page so I didn't sign up AH+ ), but then Bestbuy is not available - is BB totally not available in LS+ anymore or it's just vistaprint signup?

Also I am so confused - some place said it's $12.95 per month for LS+, but the pop-up and LS+ website said it's $17.95...which one is it?

The list of available GC of LS+ in the first post of this thread is way greater than I can see on LS+website (e.g. The Brick, Pier 1, HMV etc), so the list over there is not up to date? Or it's just the list for LS but not LS+?

If that can be updated that will save a lot of posts and time to do the search I tried to find the answer myself by reading 30+ previous pages but still can't find it...that's why I am posting to ask all the experts over here Hope I can get some help here.

Thanks~

What!!!

No more HD with Lifestyle Plus? Are you sure? What was your sign up method? I need more HD still! I am paying for a kitchen counter.

What about AHplus? I have applied for an MBNA MC so that I can get the AHplus and max out HD from them....

I've read a couple times that people received cards with 0 balance on it. I took my card to CT, and they told me it had expired. I've had it for 6 months now (originally purchased from AtHome). I'm not a member with AtHome, so i dont even know what to do - call AtHome? call CT? The other $475 in cards were great - it was just this one card. Any experiences? TIA.

Thanks for the info Donaldtin. Can you confirm if your vistaprint membership has CT and PC as well?

Thanks.

Vista memberships (AH+ and Lifestylerewards+) do not have CT and PC. If you want those, you may have to register through MBNA.

Confirmed:

HD cards are NO LONGER AVAILABLE for those who signed up for LS+ through membershipme (the last online link which was available). This was confirmed with 2 reps. Both have stated it was due to my signup method. Will have to signup through MBNA.

Can anyone confirm that I am able to signup with both AH+ and LS+ through MBNA? Secondly, if I were to have a secondary card holder would they ALSO be able to signup? Hoping someone might have tried this. TIA!

Thanks for confirming Mr. Noodlehead!

that is bad news about HD - sure enough I had signed up through the online member link. So I guess no more HD for me.

I have initiated the process for MBNA so I am with you and hope that I can get AH and LS accounts that way.

PS. Someone asked if you can pay your account with HD cards....no, I don't think so, I haven't paid for my counter yet. Just the $50 to have them come and measure, but I want enough to pay for it when the time comes!

I don't get why it matters how you signed up. Why do they have different restrictions on what you can order?

The banks have more clout then the merchants that have partnerships...

Indeed...but I would presume it has more to do with halting 'abuse' on behalf of memberworks as opposed to anything else...let's face it...memberworks makes money because some people do not use it as much as possible, so they end up with a net profit...too many people using it like us @ RFD, then the system breaks down. Yes, the banks prop up their bottom line, and they likely get a relatively cut rate deal on the GCs, but I am sure they make their money mainly on those who do not use the membership/don't know they have one (take a look at the complaints of those on the net if you find this hard to believe)

So, if a bunch of us start signing up through Vistaprint and use our privileges to the max, some of those privileges get taken away until memberworks makes a net profit on those memberships. Someone feel free to correct this if I am mistaken, but I have always assumed this was their business model, much like companies who specialize in MIRs...most people don't send them in or are declined, so they make a net profit.
