Well they een show that I entered ebay 10 times in the "recent retailer click" section, so they also have it on record, that I entered ebay via the portal and I also have the supporting ebay confirmations. I made a printout of this "recent retailer Click" section, just in case.

So perhaps they are going to pay out for all 'pending' transactions as Joanna said and I'll get 5,000 overnight? Although that would be shockingly efficient for DC
Or perhaps this 'diamond club - 500 miles' thing is nothing to do with online shopping??! Given how slow some transactions are to track, June 20th would be a bit early to pay out from a promo ending June 15th.

After waiting, waiting and waiting this finally showed up on my account. I guess I will earn 1000 miles from the promotion afterall.

Same here - well, 12 transactions pending, and a mystery 500 miles from DC with none actually credited as status or destination...

500 bonus miles have appeared on my account. I am 95% sure it is NOT to do with this promo, but I've no idea why I've got them! It's certainly not from online check-in or anything involving flying with BMI ....

Ok.. this just wafted into my DC account:
23/06/2008 BD diamond club - 3,000 Miles Credit 0 0
This has to be promotional credit for the buying as 1) The 2500 survey isn't due to pay out till 8/7 and 2) I haven't done that much spending.
Alas, I'm a good 2000 short of what I should have...
Who smells another promotional mess-up here? I count 10 transactions I've made by the end of the month, and 13 by the end of the promotional date (although intresting, 6 transactions have been approved. I can only guess its worked on approved transactions only).
Oh well. 3000 miles. Not a total waste of time

Joanna said earlier that pending OR approved transactions would count. Just basing it on approved transactions is pointless (sic) since most retailers do not approve at all (miles go instantly to received) or do not approve until the end of any potential 'money back guarantee' period.
Although, if DC did a sweep every month for the next 6 months and gave additional credit for each additional 'approved', then that would be OK I suppose ....
