But good value while they last, nonetheless.
Thanks!

Thanks
Sorry for that, BD is the international airline code for BMI, which can be confusing

Where is the glossary section?? Is there somewhere where people from the uk can get info on the best deals etc as alot of what I can see applies to the US?

I received my £60 cashback from Quidco yesterday
I didn't apply to July 4th, so hopefully I was one of the last people waiting!

Now there is just the small matter of those 20,000 points...

Unfortunately no. Applied 12 May, had to chase to get validated (19 July). I then waited 2 months as the website says payment is "fair" at an average of two months. Emailed customer support and reply was - can take up to 120 days

So I suspect many others are still waiting But good to know some are going through. I suspect by the time you applied they had worked out most of the issues that caused problems earlier.

Still waiting here as well. Applied on 17th May 2010, after chasing was emailed to say it had been "approved for payment" on 23rd July 2010. But thats as far as I've got

Applied on 23rd April...

£60.00 from American Express Preferred Rewards Gold Card received on 6 Sep 10 ^


Only just got my MR bonus points now after chasing Amex up. ^

What a drawn out process this has become... like pulling out teeth.

Strangely my most recent transactions(where i have earned double miles in the past) all seem to be showing single base points only. Anybody else having this problem?

Also... purchased some top-up points with this card(through points intl), hoping that it will either show as a travel or an intl. purchase to earn me double points.

Yes, form transactions since 18th Sept. These are at Tesco & Sainsburys, including petrol (which was tripple in the past).

Ariva Trains has doubled up though within the same period.

Me too! Please let us know the response you get. I don't want to chase if this is a recognised system wide glitch they are aware of.

Thanks

I thought I'd read somewhere that they didn't get double points (so I used my SPG card), but I'd like to hear how this pans out....

I've had purchases from BA, Waitrose, Sainsburys and Shell post since 18 September with no problems, so it doesn't look as though it is a system-wide problem

I've sent two secure messages, one last Thursday and a chaser on Monday, with a simple query and had no response so far, so I'd be interested to hear when/whether you get a response.

I sent a secure message a couple of days ago about missing bonus points on tesco and they said technical problems and points would be be applied manually.

Here we go again!
