It should be clear however that whoever runs that "Wapsilon" service linked to above will get all account numbers and PINs entered on his site served on a silver spoon. So unless you want to knowingly share your login data with a third party, you better don't use Wapsilon.

I bear the above posts in mind. However, it's probably too late now whatever. I'ver been using Wapsilon for a few days. I've downloaded the free Opera browser, and will use that from now on.

Not bad,
having 138k on 3 accounts, this promotion makes it easy to get each 2k missing for a nice Europe - USA in first just for nothing.

I daily query my account status by using WAP in order to receive the mileage (WAP-Promotion 50/query and day). I experienced that they sometimes forget to credit the amount although I am fully convinced that I have carried out the query.
Could it be that STC (automatically) denies it because I have visited my account via internet before the WAP-query?

after the problems in the beginning, my miles have posted daily..
but for me there really is no reason to check the miles on www.... when I do it on wap.... anyway... But I can imagine, that it is like that, the programme only checks how you checked your balance the first time, if on the wap or www engine. The second time it will be ignored (because otherwise people could log in 100000 times a day and earn a schittload of miles (which would be nice)

Promo is over.
Result: I know my and my better half's STC numbers by heart and 4250 miles more on each account. Guess I didn't miss many days...
Anyone with more points?

I got for my account nearly all points. 50 points in the very beginning of the promo in June are missing.
Two times in July and August, I had to request it by mail, as the miles do not show up automatically and one (June) time I am not sure, if I forget it or it does not show up.
And I know the number for the rest of my life ....

I failed to query my account only on a few days. Sometimes I just forgot, moreover I spent one week abroad, where I was not willing to use my cell phone or seek an internet cafe. Nevertheless it has been a lucrative promotion boosting my account by approximately 4000 points.
Additionally it improved my memory skills, I perfectly know my account nummer (as mentioned before by someone else) now.
