Well, I've currently got 1 transaction (out of a possible 4) tracking. And the miles don't add up (Spent £25 at johnlewis.com, which should be 125 miles at 5/£1. Instead, I'm in line for 41 ). CD Wow transaction yesterday isn't showing yet, but might just try a couple of Waterstones for luck.....

I should have 5 transactions (with more than 0 miles) tracking by tomorrow, and will give up after that. At least on BA (which likely uses the same tracking system) everything works fine and I got 2 miles per £ for eBay shopping some time ago.
FWIW - all my eBay transactions have tracked, although not for the correct amount.

Strangely most of the purchases on my own account are posting but none of the eBay purchases on the other family members are even though they were on the same date as mine. An ebay transaction was showing as pending on my son's account but that has disappeared. I was buying on my ebay account having clicked through the respective BMI accounts. I have now opened a new eBay account in each name and will try a couple of eBay purchases on each - here's hoping - at least the ebay purchase money is going to good cause
Where in the bmi website can you see if they have tracked? Is it under DC activities after you have logged in? If so I haven't had any of 4 transactions tracked yet...first one only purchased on Sun though and I only joined DC last week too so it may take a while

I think that John Lewis used to pay quidco cashback on the price ex-VAT, which would make a bit of a difference, but not that much. Interestingly, John Lewis have apparently withdrawn from all cashback sites, but are still listed on bmi... Maybe it doesn't count as "proper" cashback, so it's okay.

I have bought 13 ebay items and all have tracked 2 days after the purchase. The only bad thing is: I did not get the accurate amount of miles. raffles auctions tracked by 2 miles (one auction only by 1 mile). But I am happy and hope that I will get the 5,000 miles.
I'm not so interested in earning miles but I would like something to spend them on. Are there any changes with BMI shopping? More choice or value for getting rid of miles?

I thought I'd go for the 10+ transactions offer. I recognised that tracking would be hazardous and have so far made 19 transactions of which 12 have posted (though only 8 showing miles earned as pending) and 7 more which are not yet shown at all.
I hadn't reckoned with the eBay extortion where £1 is worth less than 50p in eBay pounds.
Showing at DC:
- 8 of 8 eBay, of which 4 show points and 4 show 0;
- 1 of 3 Tesco, all delivered;
- 2 of 4 Waterstones, of which 2 are delivered, one is despatched and one is back ordered;
- 1 of 1 CD-WOW, delivered;
- 0 of 1 Dixons, despatched;
- 0 of 2 HMV, of which one is despatched and one on back order.
Now if only two of the missing transactions track, I may be in line for the top bonus. Or should I shop again? I imagine there's no point in chasing the untracked transactions.
One thing's for sure. This is too much bother. It's the first and last shopping run for me.

Why? Has someone actually tried yet? Is it definitely not worth trying?
I am in a situation similar as yours: 14 transactions, 8 tracked, 1 with no points, 5 missing (or not yet tracked), so I am hoping for another 2 without doing more shopping...
