I can't get it to ajouter au panier in Firefox nor Edge :(

I just purchased some Avios, will keep you posted. Vente privée is a reputable french ecommerce website. The one annoying thing is you have to wait up to 5 days to get them in your account.

Ironically, the higher avios bracket you buy, the more expensive the cpm becomes, it's not a huge difference but still weird nonetheless.

Google Chrome is working but they then ask for a full postal address. I wonder if I can use my UK one for this :D

I opened with them an account yesterday and when attempting today to access the account to complete the purchase to my surprise the account is closed and not valid any more :confused:

Same thing for me yesterday, could not access the account I had opened at the weekend, figured here we go again, just like GrouponES who cancelled my orders.
Tried again this morning and it worked - so maybe website issues yesterday. Try to stay on French pages, I think Google Translate screws things up

On Saturday I bought:

3x 2,000 Avios and
2x 4,000 Avios

Today I received 16,000 (2 transactions of 8,000 each) Avios (!) in my account.

My gf also bought 3x 2,000 Avios but haven't received hers at all yet.

To be continued...

Bought 3x2000 + 3x4000 iberia avios on monday.

this morning i got 2000 avios credited as a "subscription to the economist" lol. So hopefully the rest shortly follows suit.

Surprisingly they ran out of 2k vouchers today :confused:

It looks like there are many people opted to buy this deal and find it very attractive one.

I ordered 3 x 4K avios to post to Iberia plus and today 3 x 12K avios posted with description "economist subscription". I wonder if the extra avios will be retracted?

So, did anyone buy through Vente-Privee for BAEC Avios (not Iberia) and get them yet?

In a few hours, it'll be 6 days that I'm waiting to get them into my account. :( And yes, I did go to the page where I had to input the codes, and just to make sure I tried those codes again today and I got a message telling me that I already used them, so I believe I did everything correctly on my end.

I bought 18000 avios Monday. 2 days ago i received 2,000 and yesterday 200 lol so 2,200 out of 18,000.

Bought 35,000 on Monday, posted on Wednesday as "Miscellaneous - Points Avios par Vente Privee" in a single transaction.

Make sure you look at the entire document, I thought I only had one code as well but in fact I had one code per avios bracket! I bought 3x2000 and 3x4000 so I got 6 codes in the end.
