I received an email from mypoints this week. It said their systems had made an error in posting points, and that I would be seeing a correction to my points balance and it would be dated Feb 14.

I checked my account and in fact, I had 1050 more points than the day before. I looked at the detail of my account and those 1050 points were pending. But they didn't show up in Feb 2005.

So back I looked... and back.... and back some more. The points were posted to MARCH 2004 and pending until 3/14/05.

So, not only did they make a mistake, their correction to the mistake is also wrong.

Those missing points should have been made available immediately - not 30 days from now.
