How did you move your money around? 50K in, 50K out, 50K in 50K out? Did you leave your account at zero (or close to it)? Did you close your account completely (although sounds like it's still opened, but, want to make sure)?

How long did you leave any of the deposits in? Especially the last cycle?

Overall, it does sound like that the 'glitch' has been fixed, but, I'm wondering if there's some 'tolerance level' that you blew past or something with your activity.

One last question, when did this deduction actually appear? I know it's dated May 6th and 13th, but, that was a while ago, did it just appear now with those 'back dates' ?

You and others could have brought attention to yourself just by moving money like Check Kite scheme but with eft. I can promise you Fido has a more than one person on a fraud team. Also you registered over 10 times for the same offer.

Has anyone had a good experience with this (for AMEX MR) if you've done a previous similar offer through Fido?

Knowing how the partner earning posting with AA, or for that matter with almost all airline programs, the activities often posted with a back date denoted the activities happening dates.

In this case may be Fido refers to the original miles posting dates when it did the claw back. Just a guess.

I doubt if the poster saw this in May would wait till now to post.

160K

50k in/out 3x(last time to get the Delta bonus)

Deduction occurred today, reason could also b/c I called to confirm that I'm eligible for Delta miles. They said since the 2 offers are non-exclusive.

I registered over 10 times because someone on the board suggested registering over for Delta might help you get the miles, but however it didn't work for me- never got the Delta miles.

I am confused.

You mean you have received a total of 160K AA miles from Fidelity on the AA promo? If so, you have received far more than the promotion offered... And Fidelity just took back the "overpayment"?

epiding

so i've heard of some people double dipping the AA and the DL promos. but since i was turned down from the DL promo, anyone have experience double dipping the AA and the AMEX's MR promo together?

notably if my final AA deposit is probably arriving this coming weekend (Sunday), do you think registering for the AMEX promo later today (Wed) would trigger the posting to AMEX this weekend as well? or do i have to do another round of Fido deposits to get the AMEX MR points?

thx if any good data points on this.

My summary of what people have learned to date:

1. If you are an existing account holder, first call and try to get a supervisor to give you an exemption from the "New Accounts only" rule for the AA or UA promo. You will have to deposit the entire $100K.

2. New accounts and people with exemptions: Apply for the AA or UA promo first.

3. Deposit $100K. (If new customer, you can deposit/withdraw, rinse/repeat, using $10K-$50K increments).

4. You should receive 50K AA/UA miles Sunday morning if deposits completed by Thursday night.

5. Register for Delta promo after receiving AA/UA miles. Ignore email about opening account.

6. You should receive 50K Delta miles on Saturday morning. The wait is to ensure that you get the AA/UA points, which are only for new customers and are generally more valuable than Sky Pesos.

[Very little data on the following]

7. Withdraw funds.

8. Register for MR Promo.

9. Re-deposit $100K.

10. You should receive 50K MR points on Monday morning a week-and-a-half after deposits completed by Thursday night.

A number of people have gotten "ineligible" emails when registering for the MR promo. Those who succeeded in getting MR plus something else often completed the first promo a couple of months prior to attempting the MR promo. This may have something to so with waiting a month or two. It may be due to problems with changing the MR promo from new customers only to new and existing customers. It may have to do with something else entirely.

Did I miss anything, or misstate anything?

AA manual approval probably 8 months ago, didn't cycle money. Signed up for DL online, cycled $25K for a total of $100K. Signed up for MR online, transferred $50K, did the online chat to confirm 5 days later. Miles posted 10 days after transfer. Just cycled that $50K back into the account, will post on results, presumably in 10 days.

You might want to read...basically every post in this limited thread.

160k from Citi

Chief, that's uncharted territory. One one hand, people are getting the full DL immediately after registering for it after fulfilling the AA. But it seems unclear if the problems with MR are due to having done AA/DL both in the past, or if some time lag needs to occur between it and another promotion (the 2 successful posters had different circumstances but had several months go by before the last promo and the MR registration).

So, you've done AA and now looking at MR, then Delta?

teege

I did. I found people quoting some of the bonus rules but that doesn't have an ultimate bearing on someone's experience.

aragno

Superking, can you reply with date and amount of deposits and withdrawals? Then date of miles deposit and number of miles, as well as dates of registering for all fidelity promotions, even if multiple times for same promotion?

This will let us build a complete timeline. If you are missing some dates, no worries, just do your best but history at fidelity and frequent flyer accts will fill most of the info plus any emails you may have retained will have their received date.

thetravelabstract

I think two people successfully completed the MR bonus. I know one waited about 4 months from their fidelity bonus until completing the MR offer.

Everyone else has had difficulty churning the MR offer.
