My account is showing the same pattern.

This seems like a programming error more than an attempt to deny the bonus miles on purpose. I think their program is combining several transactions from one retailer into one transaction and then awarding the bonus on that. So it comes down to how to politely make them aware of the error?

Same here - just one per day. I hope this is not their excuse. I can't remember of anything that indicated one bonus per retailer per day.

Same here. Made all my purchases on one day from three different retailers. Showing 250 bonus with estimated days equal to that of my three retailers. Estimated total on these is still zero. Is it possible that they will be multiplied when posted (for example: eight purchases from Sears will show a 2000 on this line upon credit)?

I just received 22 more miles credited. Seems completely random what and when it's being paid.

Reporting a confirming data point:

Seeing this:

10/15/2012250 Bonus LifeMiles$0.000Approved49.3
10/15/2012drugstore.com$0.993Approved49.3
10/15/2012drugstore.com$1.254Approved49.3
10/15/2012drugstore.com$0.993Paid49.3
10/13/2012250 Bonus LifeMiles$0.000Approved49.3
10/13/2012drugstore.com$0.993Approved49.3
10/13/2012drugstore.com$0.993Approved49.3
10/13/2012drugstore.com$0.993Paid49.3
10/13/2012drugstore.com$0.993Paid49.3

The "bonus" says 0 and has not been awarded and is on top (only showing per day, and presumably per merchant). Then the "approved" purchases show, then the "paid" ones. Note that I made about 50 purchases on 10/13 and 30 on 1/15, both days are showing "paid" for 6 days. Assuming 6*3+6*3= 36, I'm about right for my total so far (37). The one off must be from a 1.25 purchase. I'd feel better if it showed 12 bonuses approved.

We will need to get the other bonuses honored yet.

So now that we've seen some motion on the less than $25 purchases I'm feeling a bit more hopeful about this. Has anyone had any experience with a $25+ purchase bonus posting in a similar way here?

Mine are all over the place now. I have base miles paid on 13 & 14 Oct, some 250 miles bonuses approved on 13 & 14 Oct, others on same dates still pending. Another 20-odd miles showed up in Lifemiles.

Go-Daddy got approved so at least I know where to route my monthly hosting through. I've previously tried US, AA and Marriott's malls with no luck.

I've got something like the following:

10/14/2012 250 Bonus LifeMiles$0.00 0Pending 70.0
10/14/2012 250 Bonus LifeMiles$0.00 0Pending 96.6
10/14/2012 eBags$1.00 3 Pending 70.0
10/14/2012 PetSmart -$1.00 -3 Pending 96.6
10/14/2012 PetSmart $1.00 3 Pending 96.6

Completely random, some -3 points for Petsmart purchase but some "250 bonus"

I'm pretty excited though and hope I'll get 250 points per purchase!

Two of my 250 Bonus LifeMiles have changed from Pending to Approved (it appears for Sears and Walgreens). Also, Sears and Walgreens are now showing as paid. My LM account has been credited 1 mile (one Sears purchase for $0.99 and many Walgreens purchases for $0.10-$0.19).

We now know that purchases that were too small to get 1 mile will receive the 250-mile bonus(es), but the question of getting multiple 250's for multiple purchases remains. Almost time to submit the missing mile claim...
