They said they forwarded it on, so we'll see what happens. I just hate this waiting; I want to speak directly with someone who will handle the problem.

Since the end result is the same then this shouldn't be a big deal.
Exactly. Had you bothered to read the T&C and done it correctly the first time, it wouldn't have been an issue. Do I think you were trying to defraud MCR? No. Do they have every right to confiscate your points? Absolutely. Kipper's right: By having multiple accounts under the same name, you looked like you were trying to get around the rules.
