You don't have to create new FB accounts. Names do not have to match.

Not meant to sound sarcastic in the slightest, but I would hope that you are speaking of extensive experience? Also, you would think it safe to share even 30 different peoples gifts through 1 (sharing to 3) FB account? The names are not linked at all? Thanks!

Can you claim the sharable ones to your own account?

LOL that wouldn't work unless you can figure out how to friend yourself three times. I assume you know this, but just to be sure, that is not what we are talking about.

I don't know how they get claimed, I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Oh, well when you click link (dont do that until you ar eready, or you may lose your gift), you log into your FB account and click on three friends names to send it to. Then they get an email and they log into FB to claim it. But you can only select/send to those who are on your friends list.

Extensive experience? Nope, sorry. (At least to the extent we're interpreting extensive according to my definition.)

But I have done it numerous times.

Send to a friend/family member you trust, and then fill out (or have them fill out) the YOUR info.

...profit.

Based on other threads, no one got non-store-specific SCs yet.

I logged into fb, sent to 3 friends, and only one got a link to get gc. By the others it just posted on their wall that I won. Anyone else having a problem claiming the gc's? And the one that got the link, got a message saying something to the fact, that the gift wasn't meant for them.

I just shared about 30 gifts amongst four FB accounts (2 on a desktop, 2 on a laptop- each one FF and Chrome Incognito), and did not have a single problem like that bH.
I would therefore assume that you are doing something wrong. Especially being that the only people I have heard of getting the "This gift is not for you" error is when they sent a gift to another FB account and claimed it on the same PC, without clearing cookies/cache.

Are your "friends" actually other people, or at least other PCs (or at least fresh cookies)?

Friends are other people, but tried to claim it on the same computer. Guess that was my mistake. Hope Amex will work with me.

The one time I got that error I quickly closed the window and cleared cache, reclicked link, and it worked. You tried clicking it again?

I didn't. Thanks for the idea, will try it.

has anyone gotten their statement credits yet?

also for people who had problems getting all of their gift chain emails, has it been taken care of yet? I still only have 6/10 for one of my amex cards and customer service has been no help whatsoever

My credits just posted today!

My credits also posted sometime back.

MarkS · « **Reply #477 on:** January 30, 2012, 05:36:05 PM »

Oh yah! My strategy was buy something on Walmart.com and then after getting the gift email a few minutes later, instantly canceling the order!

I just got all of my credits this week!!!

APoshiterYid · « **Reply #478 on:** January 31, 2012, 01:31:29 AM »

Also, yesterday MR points started posting for people. I got 250, yay! LOL
