After raising the issue of the missing points last week, all my reward points vanished on Monday. They're all back now, with the first ones showing the correct bonus points, either as
"First year welcome bonus"
or
"Outbound spend bonus" for non-uk spend.
The card still shows as Gold Card in the account page, but I'm happy my 20,000 points will trigger now, and I think the more recent grocery shops at Tesco will get the bonus points a couple of days later as expected.

I've started getting double MR points for qualifying spend automatically. Still missing some points for the period before this was sorted, and not got the 20000 bonus points despite having spent over £500. Will chase again next week.

no double points for me on a flight booking I made with the gold card. Have used the secure messaging service to ask about it.

I haven't got any MR points yet. Phoned to query it but was told that they wouldn't credit for another month. Tried a second time and just told that the query has already been done. Not sure what is happening. Has anyone's Quidco tracked?

Am on the phone to Amex now walking the guy through their site to see the 20,000 offer as neither he nor his supervisor know about it! This is customer service not sales so I suspect they don't have the right info - very odd.

Just called Amex as my MR points weren't coming through either. CS said the card had been set up as a normal gold card and I wasn't the first to have this issue, she needed to raise an individual case to get fixed but said it wouldn't be an issue. I would double check if you've got the card, seems to be a common issue. No quidco either yet, next on the list

I'm completely confused.
I sent them a secure message and they said they'd get back to me. I've noticed by chance that the account number has changed on the on-line account and no longer matches my card.
Anyone else have a similar situation?
I bet this means a challenge with the quidco ..............

I'm also away for a month now, so if they send me a new one and ave cancelled the old one, I'm going to be pretty annoyed.

After a bit of time on hold they confirmed it was setup ok and the 20k points will appear in due course - I've got the double points too on BA spend.

It's a complete cock up.
My MR vanished toom they told me it would come back and when it did all would be corrected and bonus miles shown. MR is back on my acc but no sigh of the bonus miles I'm due for travel and supermarket spend.
I'll get there in the end, no sign of my new card yet either.

No double points here for me, no 20,000 and no TopCashback tracking.
MR Rep said she'd been hearing the problem time and time again and that it wouldn't be an issue to be fixed within 7 days. Let's hope so.

I have also had troubles with MR and have sent a secure message to AMEX, without reply, some days ago. They must be very busy. I am too early to query the Quidco payment as I need to wait 30 days!
