It sounds like they've lowered the promo down to 12x now, so hopefully everyone gets their miles! If it does work out, I'm happy that I was able to finally contribute to something to the FF community!
Great find! Potentially the most lucrative shopping portal deal we'll see for a long time. Unless BA was offering miles for an insanely low amount, the affiliate commission would have to be 25-40%+ which doesn't seem right. I suspect it was the result of a miscommunication, similar to the 40 DL miles per dollar at Spafinder last year which was honored. I'd put odds on this one being honored given the reputational risk to Nordstrom but I certainly wouldn't sell anything until the miles are in my Avios account.
