I hit the £500 minimum spend for the bonus points three days ago but didnt receive the bonus points so I rang up and they told me that they get credited at the end of the three months.
This is different to the BA Amex which gave the bonus as soon as I hit the target.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes it was the same for me, I had to wait the full 3 months for the points to credit, but then i also had to fire off lots of emails as well to get the points.

I have auto top-up enabled on my Oyster card, and the most recent transaction had double points for the Travel bonus.
It's still listed as "LON UNDERGRND OYSTER TRAVLCRD AUTO, LOND", and the description is still "GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT".
Has anyone else received bonus points from the tube, or could this just be a fluke? (And is it worth chasing them for extra points for TfL spend?)

I have been waiting for Quidco to pay up the £60.00 since 8th May 2010, that is more than 9 months.

I had to submit a query after applying, which was validated in July, and I haven't been paid yet either. Double points are finally posting on all spend without requiring my intervention, however.

I finally decided to cancel my card 3 weeks ago - I'm into my new BA Amex year so my Amex spend will be pushed onto that until the time my Amex Gold renewal fee is due. Card is now showing as cancelled online, with a c £30 credit for the pro-rate annual fee refund.
It is not yet clear if they will send me a cheque for this £30, pay it into the account my direct debit comes from or (as I requested) credit it against my other Amex cards.
Next step ... apply for the SPG Amex!
