Is anybody able to confirm whether there is such a thing as a 'Basic Gold Card' in the UK and whether it has the same fee attached? If they'll refund my £95, I'll pay my balance and happily part company with them.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. Last night after my unsuccessful attempt to view the points I had earned I was asked if I wanted to answer a few questions on what I thought about the website. I don't usually bother with these questions but I was so incensed I decided to take part.

Can't remember the exact questions but something like: Did I find what I was looking for? "No". What was the purpose of my visit? "To check MR points" How did I rate my experience? "Poor".

Before replying to the message I received via the Secure Message Centre I tried once again if I could see the points I have earned and got this message instead.

We're Sorry..

We're sorry for any trouble this may cause you.
Can someone please remind me how to check the points earned from the "Your Account Summary" screen? I had no problem (though the link was not the easiest to find) checking them earlier, so the only reason why I can't remember what steps to follow must be because the link is no longer there on the screen.

What a mess!
