Had dad's query accepted today too with the exact same message. A month after submitting the query and it being rejected, with no input from me! I suspect they've finally caught up and simply re-ran the processing on all queries.

would i be better off airmiles wise if i pay for my BA taxes on my gold card or the ba amex?
should i get 2 or possibly 3 miles on the gold card? would the taxes be seen as travel?

The other question depends on what BA Amex you have, if it's a PP card then you'll get 3x miles for the surcharges/taxes. If it's the normal BA amex then I believe you're better off using the Gold card.

Without trying to sound pedantic but I presume you mean BA Miles. Actually, it is pedantic but it does sometimes get confusing with both products being in use.

No cashback and tough luck?
I applied for the card through quidco and opened a quidco account and seeing this thread thought I ought to check. Lo and behold no cashback and having enquired of quidco where is my cashback they have said that I am out of time to claim as more than 75 days has elapsed and they have no record of my transaction. They are sorry for any inconvenience apparently. I am livid, they have either pocketed the money and not given it to me, or worse for their business model, have failed to track transactions properly. Either way I am £60 out of pocket. Any ideas ? i also dont yet have my 20,000 miles either.

If you are booking a 2-4-1 I'm pretty sure you have to use you BA Amex card (ie. the one that earned the voucher) to pay the taxes.

When it didn't appear - you would have noticed in the same thread that you were following when you applied that some others had problems - then a sensible person would have enquired before 75 days had expired.
You aren't £60 out of pocket and Quidco didn't steal it.
You do seem rather accident prone with this stuff .... and as an example here ... and ..here.
Looking back through some of your experiences in your posts might I suggest you take a touch more interest in the details!?

Just to let people who used Top Cashback for this offer, my dad applied for the card through my Top Cashback account and £60 has become payable today. It has taken just over 3 months since he applied for the card, so anyone who used Top Cashback, be patient as I have never had any major problems with them.
Hopefully, all those who used Quidco will be getting their payment soon.

I wrote an email to AMEX yesterday asking about when the 20,000 bonus points will get posted to my account and they said they're in the process of sending out appology letters to people who were affected and didn't get their bonus points or double points bonuses. Does anyone know more about this?
A letter is due to be sent to you apologising for this fault and advising that we expect the matter to be resolved within the next four weeks
