Cheers!
OK, relisted!

Link is here:

I will manually pull this listing at some point on Sunday 15th if they don't all sell first.

For those who owe the charity account money, please Paypal it across to the address I sent you ASAP. If you really struggle with Paypal and are UK based then I will send you my bank details for a direct transfer - PM for the numbers.

Even if your transactions didn't track, please still pay up. Each transaction, whether it tracks or not, takes 75p out of the charity pot in Paypal and ebay fees so I need you to contribute your £1.50 regardless. Thanks.

Tenth entry has just posted so I'm good to go. Was from a combination of Hilton, M&S, iTunes and Hertz.

Let's see now how quickly the 5,000 bonus credits.

xx/06/2008 eBay £3.32 1 mile/£1 Pending 2
xx/05/2008 eBay £3.32 1 mile/£1 Pending 2
"

Is this good or bad, if the purchase is shown as "pending"??
That is how mine are showing and it's my understanding that this is good as they have tracked (as such) and it's just waiting ebay to 'approve' the purchase.

Something else I've just noticed - I made several purchases one after another on ebay the other day and only one has tracked. I've since had another purchase that was made the following day track, so I'm assuming those purchases made on the previous day are now not going to track. What I 'think' has happened here, is that the first time I went through to ebay, I went through the BMI portal, but for the following purchases I just re-entered the item number in the search box, assuming that as I hadn't logged out of ebay that I was still accessing it through the BMI portal but this actually doesn't seem to be the case - you need to come completely out of ebay and back into it through the BMI portal even if you have doing purchases only minutes apart.

Like others, I'm also unhappy about BMI's complete lack of maths ability. One of the purchases I made was for £205 and it hass tracked at just over £100 and I've been given 83 points

I'm heading over to cashbackkings - looks much more reliable.
I'm not a member yet though so I'm open to referals.

Hey guys,

just checked-in on this offer, I dunno why I have not done it sooner!

Just wondering about iTunes, does each single count, or do each of the purchases have to be more than £1.00?

Also, what is a Raffles special???

Cheers,
Brian.

Oh yes, that's right. I always waited for the invoice email to go for another one...

OK, auction is now pulled as its 8.30pm on the 15th and the promo ends today! Thanks to everyone who took part.

PLEASE send your Paypal contributions ASAP if you are still to do so. I will announce the final NSPCC donation at the end of next week.

A big thank you to Raffles for organisimg this. I have just logged into all the family DC accounts and all of them have hit at least 10 purchases . Yesterday one of the accounts only had 3 pending but overnight another 8 have posted!
So it all worked once I cleared those cookies. Out of a total 46 'Raffles specials' I think 13 haven't posted.

Now before the promotion ends, should I buy 20000 miles on each of our accounts as I am sure we could make good use of the extra miles. I assume buying miles is a good deal if you intend to use them for cash and miles in a J or F - am I correct?

I work on the basis of getting 1.5p - 2p per mile on a long-haul cash and miles (compared to buying a BA ex-EU) so in theory you save some money.

However .... if BMI goes over to Miles and More and you still have those 20k miles, then you'll lose. Lufty miles are worth under 1p each.
