15000 points are not worth the trouble of going through uncertainty all over again, and also credit rating impact and so on. Had it been 50000 points, I'd have thought again!

Still not using their card until they give me a decent credit limit - or I send it back to them...
Accumulating United miles on my purchases in the meantime...

My recent flights on Singapore Airlines are also not added yet (been almost 2 months that I flew) and now I don't bother. Just accumulate miles using this card and redeem.

Doesn't always happen. I sent almost 20 emails for a flight that did not get recorded last year but none of them was answered. When I called up, the agent told me they are not able to do it and I should visit AI office in person.

I would disagree to this, they have been pretty good with posting missing miles. Many times I do not even have the BPs with me. Just the e-ticket. Also they give you the miles and only then their back end teams will check if you actually flew or not. Not bad at all

On another note, I fail to understand why AI can't implement simple IT precesses to ensure one can get missing miles credited online rather than emailing tickets and boarding cards.
P.S - In my case, even FR number was printed on boarding card, still they couldn't credit miles.

Well, I just posted facts and not my opinion, so you may disagree but that wouldn't change facts. I wrote what I experienced. In fact I also asked on this forum about what can I do to get my missing miles credited and it seemed Keyser also experienced something similar, though his miles were credited after a month or so.

On a side note, I wonder why even in the AI dreamliner's which have tv screens on each seat, they do the manual security briefing etc and not play a video ?
Believe this does not even require much technical expertize !!!Check out the websites of AI or for that matter most govt organizations.. they don't want to spend any decent money on getting the proper stuff done or even if on paper the contract is as per market price, since a big percentage of that has to be passed on by the vendor (as grease), they have no incentive to make it super..
I was once asked by a senior Indian embassy official that whether I could get something done in their systems for free !!!
The key part was not developing that solution for them, but keeping that system / front end with updated info.. and no one will do the regular maintenance activity for free even if the initial development is free.. this our senior folks fail to understand and hence you see this plethora of outdated / unusable websites ..And to think, these are the same people who do an amazing job in Singapore, Dubai etc etc etc...

SBI Signature Card Recd ..
So I received the SBI Signature card less in than 1 month since I applied for it online ^
They gave a low credit limit and say that's computed by CIBIL..anyway I intend it to use it for mostly AI transactions so it should be fine..
I also received another mail from AI ffp stating I have a new ffp number with user id and password.. I already have a valid AI FR account and guess this one got triggered by SBI (even though had given them my AI FFP during application)..
Q : Where do I see the ffp number linked to this SBI card account and whom to write to change the same ?
Thanks, A
