Yes me too I think. However they can't just multiply your statement without checking the dates, so it goes on the 'manual pile'. Who knows what the backlog is there!

Well, sadly, we have just over 2 weeks to go on Mrs P's 10x deal so I just got an account with my local butcher and paid upfront for approximately my next 6 months worth of meat with the Amex. (He looked happy 
)
Tesco/Asda/Homebase gift cards next.
Also looking at getting a new TV/DVD player from John Lewis.
Any other ideas on stuff we can prepay before this spending spree of a lifetime is over?
After this I become Mr Tightwad and start putting money in our savings again!

Still waiting for the fourth statement bonus here too. And needless to say, no one's written to explain what the 10,000 are for.
As an interesting aside: the Lloyds 2for1 can be used on mixed class redemptions provided the outbound leg is economy. Discovered by accident while I was booking a Y out, J back reservation on avios.com for two, when it spat a "Do you want to use your voucher" dialogue up on the payment page. I clicked "yes" and the tickets have been issued for half the normal amount of avios.

Would this work for Y out, F back?

Well over 3 months and still no bonus Avios. I have written a complaint letter to Lloyds this week and will wait and see what happens! I will update when I receive a response.

ATTN - LTSBPDA holders: 30% bonus Avios purchased through IB Plus (in euros!!)
From April 30th to May 13th give, purchase or transfer Avios and obtain upto 30% extra. An opportunity to purchase enough Avios for a trip or give a great present.
What is more, if you take advantage of this promotion, you will soon benefit from exclusive offers next May in The 7 days of Iberia Plus

24,000
7,200 bonus
9375 LTSBPDA 10x ie: 25 per £ foreign spend Avios
40575 Avios for ~ £375
0.924p per Avio
You only get a total of 37987 including 24,000+9,000 bonus and 4987 uk spend LTSBPDA bonus purchasing through Avios.com 1.05p per Avio, so this looks like a better deal for LTSBPDA holders even with the lower 30% purchasing bonus.
Unfortunately when I log in to IB Plus and click on the purchase Avios link it says "We are sorry to inform you that this service is not available.
If you have any questions, please consult your service centre.
We apologise for the inconvenience."
Possibly because I only signed up on Feb 10th, so my account isn't 3 months old yet. I might be able to do this on May 10th though, but probably wont bother as I don't need the Avios right now
Maybe someone with an older IB Plus account can go through the process and see if the bonus is mentioned on the page at some point prior to payment.

I wonder if on the 241 something like MAN-LHR in Y then LHR-HKG-LHR in J would work. Really want to get my spend up now
One question I have is that I used my card to book a hotel room and unfortunately it didn't take the full amount (first night) which is fine as I will buy gift vouchers and at checkout I will get the deposit back. The refund won't be for sometime after my promo period. Do points get clawed back or do future point earnings get withheld? I just need to know what not to spend etc.

Made a few k north of 100,000 miles in the end, including the extra 10k they mistakenly gave to me after the 3 months, that I assume they'll leave as a gesture of good will/ compo for all the issues!
Its good that folk finally seem to be getting sorted on this, I thought for a while they'd never come, I advise those still waiting to phone the Lloyds loyalty team if they have not already, as they do seem clued up* and will get things moving for you
*shame the IT dept obviously isn't!
