Which browser are you using?
On a side note, just purchased 11k miles for him indoors, they they processed and credited in less than 3 minutes! Huzzah, something that works! ^

limit for "buy miles for a friend" raised?
Was the limit for gifting miles to a friend raised recently? I'm asking because when this option was promoted it was clearly stated that one was only able to gift up to 20.000 miles in any 12 months. However, when I logged into my account today and went to the "buy miles" link the following information was provided:
The receipent must be a diamond club member in order to receive destinations miles.
The maximum number of destination miles that can be purchased as a gift or received as a gift in any 12 month period is 80,000 destination miles per diamond club account.
Destinations miles can only be purchased online in deminations of 1,000.
Purchased destinations miles are non transferable and non refundable.
Did I miss something or was this discussed before? I couldn't find anyhting with a quick search, but hey, it's Saturday morning...

Hello,
I am using FireFox. But I always get an error page with loads of different US city codes etc.
Yesterday I tried it with another IP address (I used TOR) and then it worked well. The drawback was, that I was not able to buy ie 1,000 miles for 0,12 GBP instead of the original 12 GBP.
Is it possible to buy those miles for 0,12 GBP? If yes, which are the firefox settings (and do I also need a UK IP address?)?
PS: You can also PM me...
regards,
flo

Has anyone actually managed to purchase additional miles on the website?
Everytime I click on the link to purchase miles, the page only loads halfway and thats as far as I get.
Been trying now for days without sucess-mentioned this to the DC call centre when I was booking an award ticket but the agent couldn't help.
Anyone know if there is a number I can call or mail to request this

Using UK as country and even changing country of living to UK!
So, still my question, if anybody was able to buy miles the last days?!
(I really appreciate any new ideas for solving this issue)

It is not possible for me to buy Miles with an IP within/from Germany!
But a friend (from another country) was able to do that for the same account!
