As another data point, I got this response from Customer Service:
Thank you for reaching us.
After a careful review, I was able to see that trials are listed as ineligible to receive rewards per the merchant’s terms and conditions. Therefore, no rewards will be posted to your account.
The terms listed on the program website at the time of the purchase were:
"Only eligible on new discovery+ paid subscriptions. Eligible on one (1) purchase per loyalty account member. Not eligible on purchases made with coupon or discount codes that are not found on this site. Not eligible on gift cards, gift certificates or any other similar cash equivalents. Purchases made with a gift card may be ineligible. Not eligible on any free products, trials, services, memberships, subscriptions and retailer marketing subscriptions."
Not eligible on any free products, trials, services, memberships, subscriptions and retailer marketing subscriptions.
It is important to carefully read the terms and conditions for each merchant before making your purchase, as the terms vary from merchant to merchant and occasionally change.
Thank you for your understanding.
Which contradicts everything and makes no sense at all. I am still expecting to receive the points, I made the purchase on the 19th. We'll see
