If you haven't redeemed your gifts, you better get onto it, as redemption ends today.

Got a few corrected 1099s for $0.
Got one 1099 for $659 though on one of my AUs, again with no SSN. I wonder if I can reject $60 worth of prizes? Of if because there is no SSN I should ignore it?

Mine just went from ~$700 to ~$900, even with them supposedly removing unclaimed SR, etc.
Yay.

Ouch.

+1, couldn't they at least povide a breadown of how these were calculated?

On a side note, I claimed some of my gifts in 2011 and some in 2012, is it possible I flew under the $600 threshold and evaded 1099s?

Got the same, they are sending me two $10 GCs

Shame the people who won the x4 $100, $250, $500 GCs didn't know that they would be mailed to them in the end if they didn't send them.

Do you have reason to believe that's true? I was personally unable to use of my gifts due an error after trying. I'm not sure if one simply hadn't tried to send them, that they'd just send to the gift recipient anyway.

I sent 2 to my sister and her friend, and they never bothered to redeem them. So someone could of sent their big dollar GCs to bogus facebook accounts they created and gotten them in the end.

So, it could be that one must have tried sending or actually sent but the GCs were not redeemed. Still not sure what makes you think if someone didn't even do one of those things, he or she would still receive the GCs...

I hope I get this email, I've had "technical issues" sharing 3x $75 Amex GC, 3x $50 Amex GC and 3x $2 DD GCs, and I already complained to Amex (they let me file the complaint although my cards are all closed). If I'm lucky I'll get compensated manually then get them automatically via this email

Good luck. Mine just came in the mail over the weekend.

I got something similar, though I had to complain to trigger it. Impressive that Amex honored their original commitment even though I'm no longer a cardholder (granted the terms don't require I be an active cardholder when receiving my GCs), now I have another $225+ of GCs coming my way.

Excellente senor!

Don't spend it all in one place.

+1 same here.
On the 17th got credit for 15,15,10. After seeing this post I checked my account and had a charge for 15,15,10 on the 19. Hmmm
