No-one seems to have actually gotten any Avios at all yet, so the sacking can wait 😁

Has anyones avios points posted yet? My transaction is dated January 3 and as of today, February 15, the 525k points are still showing as pending. Does anyone know the time frame to post. I thought it was 35 days.

For what it's worth, Kate Spade sent me an offer today for 60% off anything in their store (minus gift cards) up to $1,000 in rewards today. The more I interact with Kate Spade, the clearer it becomes this was just a flash sale.

Or promoted, as the sales budget holder doesn't care about how much it costs to buy those sales as that's someone else's problem.

Yep. First see how much merchandise can be moved at full price with a rebate in Avios that possibly were purchased through a special deal. Then start offering increasing discounts on whatever is left at 70%+20% with another 10% off on top of that.

Just heard back from them. Apparently correcting the pending points a few weeks back restarted the 35 day clock, so theyll be deposited after that. Annoying, but at least its an update.

Given all the stuff that got purchased by people who were more interest in the points than the bags perhaps there is an opportunity for you to pick up a few items from one of them.

You've missed out.

People's morality was questioned. There was some name calling - the term "opportunists" was used more than once. A lot of questionable legal advice. There was shock, denial, bargaining, anger but finally the points went pending and we moved on as a group to acceptance.

Now we wait with our handbags for the day of reckoning.
