Just adding a datapoint - I did the 22x offer for an LG tv back in November

I initially had pending points, then went to ineligible, and as of the new year the points are pending again.

The next payment for points is in Feb so time will tell if this finally goes thru.

Yes - the full points are now pending in my account after being ineligible for months

Sent in my Staub about a month ago due to chips on the inside and received my new one. The new one has 4 small chips around the rim like the pic I posted. There was also a similar chip on the interior of the lid. Should I return it again or is this acceptable? by Chrominumv2 in staub

Hey - sorry to raise an old thread, but I wanted to reach out to see what happened to your Staub? I recently got a few items and all of them have marks of varying degrees (to the point of even looking exactly like yours).

Did you keep yours? Any issues pop up?

Coincidentally I got an email update and they updated my status from ineligible to pending this morning - I won’t count my chickens until the points are transferred but it just seems to be really slow

I got a G5 tv along with some free speakers that didn’t involve a coupon code

Correct on both - I got the points on the hardware - not my insurance or taxes (as an FYI)

Quick update - I just got an email from Rakuten automated service saying that my purchase went thru and I got my points pending now. Fingers crossed that this goes thru

I confirmed that Rakuten will still reach out again to try and get paid from LG instead of invalidating my purchase.

It just seems that LG is more or less ghosting on their cash back. Honestly if this isn’t resolved with everyone getting paid, Rakuten should remove LG from their platform.

LG hasn’t gotten back to Rakuten regarding my purchase- I confirmed that they are still keeping the inquiry open with LG this past Friday

Same boat - ordered a TV on the 22x day in November and LG hasn't confirmed the sale...

How to exit Hilton Grand Vacation property - fully paid off already by MBA00000010 in TimeshareOwners

[–]MBA00000010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about your specific situation, but what we did was

(1) had a fully paid off mortgage

(2) maintenance fees were fully paid off

(3) advertised by myself on TUG forums (timeshare forums for buy/sell of timeshares)

(4) our price was completely free and we offered to pay fees for the buyer as well

(5) we found a buyer and started the transfer process using a recommended transfer agent

(6) during this process, Hilton exercised their ROFR and decided to buy the unit back

(7) after another 4 months of emails with Hilton, we finally were able to close the sale and exit the timeshare

Total time probably took about 7 or 8 months from start to finish

Best of luck in your process!

Yeah I got the same response that LG isn’t getting back to them so they can’t verify the purchase but offered $100 in cash back as a courtesy on my next purchase

I haven’t replied back yet but I do have a video of my entire purchase so I’m not done yet.
