Doesn't seem to relate to anything. Still no bonus points (more than £2k spent on this card) and mrs uk1's card still shows no bonus points either.

I had something like that - it was the bonus points for all the items that went through without any bonus before the card was re-issued as a preferred gold card.

My card came weeks ago and have since been earning points. However, I got another one through the door yesterday, completely different number.

Still weighing up whether to apply or not. The card fee is my barrier, so am curious about the success rate of Quidco cashback.

Yes
I haven't applied yet, but that is because I know we will run up a huge hotel bill next Easter and want to be able to sticky it on the card for double points before I cancel it!

(As an aside, I recently replaced my BA Amex PP card as the old one had broken, but the new one appeared online as a 'non-UK' card at first and now shows separately, almost as if it were an additional card on the same account rather than a replacement. Seems IT issues are rife over at Amex at the moment.)

To add a further layer of combinations, my online account shows just "Gold Card" yet I am receiving MR on purchases, including double points on Waitrose and train tickets. So it looks like my card has been set up correctly even without the "Preferred". Does this mean I will definitely get the 20k MR?
Cheers

Even without the cashback, £95 for 20,000 miles is still less than 0.5p per mile

.... with the added benefit that you can hold of transferring them for as long as you hold the card, and thus have the option of 'topping up' Hilton, BMI, Eurostar, SPG, Jumeirah, Priority Club accounts as well!

I applied on presumption of paying 95quid and the quidco a bonus if it gets paid.
I think I can start making noises with quidco as of today so we'll see how it goes.

Indeed. Put my quidco enquiry in this afternoon, but if it doesn't get paid, I won't be whinging too much - even at £95, it's a good deal.

My quidco account is now showing the 60quid but have to wait up to 60 days now to find out if its been agreed or declined. A quick process it's not
