If gift cards are allowed, we will all be buying ten of thousands (instant million miles) and sell the gift cards to plastic jungle for 91% cash back!

I placed an order on 2/4 and received the item 2/8, but my BA account is showing no pending activity, and it seems like others are getting activity in their account in a few days after shipment. Am I the only one and need to fight for the miles?

can you place multiple orders?

Does it work for a 2nd order. I just placed my first one and considering shopping more.

I keep reading this but cannot figure out how to do it online. Do I have to call BA?
You can do it online. Look under redeeming Avios. At first a flight search will come up empty, but there's a link to search again including partners

Yes, I had the 3000 pending and they deducted them back and Realtytrac closed my account/free trial.

Just went to make a purchase.

DEAD! 12x down to 4x.

Guessing it was supposed to be 4x3 = 12x all along. Now let's hope they honor the 36x.

Uh oh. I'll have a boatload of returns to make if they don't honor 36x

I had a sinking feeling all along this was an error. The triple promotion was supposed to yield 12x total (3x 4 base points), not 3x on top of 12 points. It just didn't make sense given the relative values of all other promos on the shopping mall.

Return to your seat and fasten your seat belt, we're encountering an area of forecast turbulence.

Just as a matter of timing, i put in an order on 2/9, and my 12x miles have showed up as pending this morning, so 2 days. Only 8 of the 10 items is showing as shipped.

Now i'm curious if i'm going to get the extra 3x points since it has reverted back and people are thinking it might be an error. I took a screen shot after I entered the code, so I guess we'll see.
