It was my second card that I got in Sept.... only put $2 on it. Didn't get targeted on my first card cuz I actually put a decent amount of spend on it.

I tried that approach on my first card about 3mos after I got it. Didn't spend anything for 3-4mos and still didn't get targeted. Hopefully you'll have better luck.

Just received email for this promo - as others have gotten, 15K bonus miles after spending $750 per month in February, March, and April. Received the card in October, made one purchase of about $25, haven't used since.

November 2013

Has anyone who opened an account in November 2013 received this offer?

It usually takes 3 months. If you are targeted, you'll see something at the end of Feb for spend in Mar, Apr, May.

For those who have received this offer in the past: the required spend refers to calendar month, not statement, correct?

I didn't automatically get the miles because I thought the bonus was awarded by statement month and not calendar month. However, Barclays did grant them manually without any problems after I (politely and persistently) requested this.

I spent $830 during month 1.

$770 month 2.

$810 month 3.

During month 2, I returned a $50 item that I had purchased during month 1. Barclays are now telling me that this put me under $750 during month 2, and I am not eligible for bonus.

Is this the way it's supposed to work? I thought when a purchase is reversed, it would credit back to whenever the purchase was made (month 1 in my case).

Otherwise, I could buy $750 worth of stuff each month, with a 90 day return policy, and return it all after the promotion ended (month 4). It wouldn't make sense.
