I am curious if people have been successful recently in getting the points for the gross value of their purchases (i.e. pre-discount)? If you placed a $100 order with a 10% discount did you get the 45,000 points or 40,500 points?
Thanks.
Thanks.

These 2 posted quickly:
Dec. 19 for $30
Dec. 19 for $114
(For totals before the 10% off)
Missing is:
Dec. 18 for $212
Maybe the key is not an order over $400, but one's largest order.
I plan to call Monday.

i'm almost 100% convinced this is not a linkshare problem - this is goldpoints screwing around.
every purchase for everyone seems to have gone through on small orders. the large ones seem to be held up. it has been mentioned in another thread that goldpoints has a monthly limit as to the number of GPs they can convert to FF miles and this is why they are holding the points. it seems to explain the situation, n'est pas?

Gross: $260.66 x 450 = 117297
Net (after coupon): $221.56 x 450 = 99702
Miles posted: 111600 /450 = $248
Am I crazy, or is this a lot more trouble than this is worth? These people certainly don't seem to be in a hurry to make good on there promises.

Same here. And then a few hours later it was yanked out such that the points don't even add up to my balance.

And note the following footnote on your Goldpoints account history page:
