I've made various transactions over the last week with ebay, waterstones, tesco etc. - but not a single one has tracked yet - should I be worried. Sounds like other people have had their ebay transactions from 1 week ago track already.
Waterstones have tracked after about 5 days for me. And free instore pickup is a bargain!
My £2 eBay purchase has tracked now with a value of over £1...
Do I just need to make 9 more to get the 5000 bonus miles?
Obviously I'll buy the £1 ones first to ensure the money goes to charity
Simply buy 2 x £1 items - when you click on 'Buy Now' you are asked how many you want to buy - put in 2.
The PayPal charity pot currently stands at £144 - very well done to everyone.
Please post when £2 transactions start tracking - in particular, whether or not they are showing 1 mile earned. If they aren't, I will launch Plan C in a couple of days!

Raffles, my £2 transaction just recently tracked as:
Hmmm.. But its tracking as a purchase (even if it's 0 miles).

Terms and conditions
Transactions must be made between 01 May and 15 June 2008 to qualify for bonus miles.
Miles will be credited to your diamond club account after the promotion closes. This may take up to 40 days from the date of purchase.
This could be interesting (and arguable) that since you had a transaction that tracked, that you've complied with the terms of the promotion and that therefore that counts as one purchase...
Of course, since this is BMI along with the magic of points.com, I expect any meaning to mean nothingness these days
(and yes.. you did read right - 40 days... ie: end of August )

I'm getting the same idea. Compare this with BA shopping, where I bought an item on eBay for £28 (including around £2 p/p) and received 52 miles for it.
When the status is Pending, does the 0 miles actually mean you won't get any miles at all, or will it update once the status changes to Approved? And indeed the 'purchase amount' for all my purchases seems to be fairly unrelated to the actual spend
Tempted to ask them to explain - the T&Cs seem to be quite clear "Earn 1 miles (sic) for every £1 you spend at eBay" and

As a private sale has no VAT, only the delivery charges should be excluded.
Hi,
My 19/05 £2 ebay purchase just posted, £1.02 1 mile/£1 Pending 0 (same as the others), but my 18/05 £2 ebay purchase hasn't posted at all, neither are my itune store purchases (£1.58 on 18/05 and 19/05). Anyone lucky yet with itunes?
I got a batch through this month - 4 lots of varying sizes...
I have 5 e-bay (inc 1 x Raffles plan B @ £2), all are pending, and all are at 0 points. At least 3 are £4+ before the hammer and ebay devaluation.
3 other retailers have tracked, all are pending and all show the correct mileage due.
So the question is how long did it take for your batch of 4 to be confirmed by e-bay and show some points, as I guess this is the trigger needed? And will pending translate to the equivalent of "stand-by" status, so some of us will get left behind at the points departure gate
