I just checked - December purchases have posted within the last two hours with January still pending. Good news - let's hope the timing is a 'first ever run' issue and not the on-going standard.

I've just had a "points.com accrual" of 62 miles credited today - which must be my initial Waterstones order, although I can't find my copy.
IIRC, this is probably at the upper limit of the the "it may take up to 12 weeks" period as stated on the online shopping site - but as I can't see that transaction, they're not making it easy to keep track of things...

Just had 3 sets of points arrive - 398, 50, and 204. I've no idea what they're for, I've a feeling I may have somehow double-dipped 
BMI and BA came out with their scheme at similar times IIRC, and I probably clicked through to a few retailers via BMI at the time. But I very deliberately go through BA's scheme whenever I want to make a purchase, and all my miles have tracked through there -- these BD ones are a welcome surprise! ^

I had 2300 points added on Friday though Points.com and have another 336 pending. It seems like there has been a bit of a push to get things moving. Lets hope that these miles post faster in future!
I would like to say thank you to Joanna for all her help in getting things moving for me ^

Patient wait for me - but, as I said in my earlier post, I think the wait was just about at the upper end of how long they said it may take for the points to credit.

Patience applied Mr_Bigglesworth.
In all honesty, I though I had lost those miles I accrued on the shopping site, so it was a nice to see them arrive.
It seems that it does take a full 3 months though for a purchase to be approved though...

Where do you see the pending status?
Hi All,
Sorry to be a pain, but I am also awaiting points from Tesco shops done ages ago? Could someone please let me know where you see the pending status for these points. Is it on the bmi diamond club activity page, or somewhere else?
Thanks in advance

Select 'online shopping' from the DC menu in the left margin
Click on 'shopping'
Click on 'start shopping now'
Click on 'customer service' near the top-right corner of the screen
Click on 'my account'
... and (eventually!) there it is.

Thanks Steady...got it....as you say, a bit of a trek to get there.
No, not there ... it's a bit of a faff to get there. This picks up from the point where you have just logged in to your DC account :-
Select 'online shopping' from the DC menu in the left margin
Click on 'shopping'
Click on 'start shopping now'
Click on 'customer service' near the top-right corner of the screen
Click on 'my account'
... and (eventually!) there it is.
