Firstly, apologies - I've only read part of the way into this thread, so the answer might be somewhere already. If it is, please slap me with a wet haddock, and tell me to go back and read it!
The question is around when my purchases should show up on "My Acccount" on the shopping portal. I booked a Hilton stay through it around a month ago. I'm completely expecting the points to take up to 12 weeks to post, but "My Account" on the portal shows the click through, but not the purchase.
Is that correct (ie it goes through verification before posting), or should the purchase show up there straight away?
cheers
Did you get anywhere with this? I have the same trouble with M&S it shows as tracked but nothing on the payment section.

I had same problem with Play.com a few days ago; tracked but no confirmed purchase. I think it used to show as an order straightaway. I guess it's another bug on the new system but I suppose it's possible they have changed it so that it will only show up when points post (wishful thinking perhaps!).

Good spot monahos
It was a great spot indeed! I'm going to buying a few this month so this helps a lot. Wasn't sure how many I'd need exactly so am now able to buy a few, get them posted and wait till I've got the exact figure. Otherwise I was going to have to wait till the last minute to calculate...

"Buy destinations miles between 1 July and 11 August 2009 and save the £15 transaction fee."
Dear TL
As you've bought destinations miles in the past, we thought you'd be interested to know that we're waiving the transaction fee on any Buy Miles purchase between 15 July and 31 August 2009.
All you need to do is sign into your Diamond Club account to 'Buy miles for you' or 'Buy miles for a friend'. When you complete a purchase, the £15 transaction fee will automatically be removed. View terms and conditions.
You can even pay for your online purchases with our award winning credit card, just as you can with all your everyday purchases, helping you to earn miles even faster. Typical 15.9% APR.
Plus don't forget, you can also earn destinations miles when you shop online with a wide range of high street retailers, such as John Lewis, where you'll earn 4 miles for every £1 you spend. Simply sign into your Diamond Club account to 'Start shopping now'.
Offers like these are just some of the reasons why we're the UK's most generous frequent flyer programme.
Well, one can pick these up at FRA for 0.85 EUR, so how much extra (without the GBP 3.95 shipping per order (unlimited)) would we be paying for the miles?? That's about 0.73 GBP per bar at FRA, therefore about 0.24 GBP per bar extra...
