no problems with avios and bonus posting here and I applied for my card in February, first points posted in March.
Hubby who applied for his card in November had to chase like everyone else, but strangely enough just got a 10K bunus post today on his 4th statement

Just had my wife accepted with a £5k credit limit. Should cover holiday in May plus Easter and indeed anything we do over the Jubilee long weekend, plus an ipad 3!

Thank You, Mr Lloyds
I promise I'll go easy on you for the last month...
(and yes, it was nil before I got the card)

All of your avios earnings are leaving me with the feeling of missing out. I know I was excepted for this card 8 weeks ago (as a Lloyds current account holder I was informed i was excepted should I wish to apply), however since then I have taken out the PC Black Visa. I have always left at least 6 months between taking out CC products.
Also.. what would be the paypal fee's in sending my friend a few £k?

PayPal fees are 3.4% plus 20p, or thereabouts. Bear in mind if your friend gives you the money back in cash/cheque/etc., it's a breach of PayPal and Lloyds T&Cs...

I called Lloyds today to ask when I could expect my 10k bonus sign up Avios, having signed up in December. They asked if I've ever had a Lloyds TSB credit card before. I said I had but that I'd cancelled it over 10 years ago.
They gave me some nonsense excuse stating that short of a name change I wouldn't qualify for the sign up bonus because (at some point in my life) I had previously held a credit card with Lloyds and the T&Cs of this promotion excluded it.
What's that about?

The 10k's should post on your 4th statement.
If you can be bothered, call back and register a complaint saying you have read the terms and conditions and can't find anything that disqualifies you from the offer and you would like someone more senior to look at it as you believe you have been given wrong info over the phone.
Then you will get a very apologetic complaints handler calling you back and offering you £25 statement credit, not to mention the £25 refund on the card fee you are due anyway.

God only knows what they do to you if you're doing anything remotely shifty.
