At least one of my accounts has seen the Staple points arrive.

Are you expecting the bonus points with this transaction too? If so, will be interesting to see when they arrive.

Am I doing this aquire thing wrong?

I haven't received my bonus points for joining, nor the double points for flights

?

Yes I have not got the double points for a recent flight either. Only single percentage. Thought it was booked in the right period but who knows. Just waiting to see if any points or bonus points post. Also helps when an "employee" is currently is on a J ticket to Europe.

Yes, for the bonus points. Not expecting them before the nominated wait period. I'm just happy the Staple purchase has been validated ... still got quite a few other accounts that haven't seen any activity from Staple for purchases made on the same day. All going to plan we'll collect >100,000 QFFP from this play :D

All I have is pending Qantas flights.
 
Just notice this which tops up the 10K with another 1K and is free

Regus - Register for your Preferred membership

Might be a good option as insurance against Staples.

Qantas Aquire and Regus have teamed up to give you a 12 month Preferred membership with 5 visits to over 1500 Regus Business Lounges worldwide plus:

  • 10% discount on meeting room, day office, co-work office and videoconference bookings
  • Complimentary refreshments and business-class WiFi
  • Earn one Aquire Point for every $1 spent on Regus products and services*
  • Earn Aquire Points on office and virtual office contracts.
  • Two complimentary business lounge guest passes
You can also earn 1,000 bonus Aquire Points on your first use of your Preferred membership card.
 
I had to use Secure Parking in BNE on October 13, which worked out perfect timing for this offer. I've been waiting patiently for the Secure Parking points to post, and as someone pointed out, their own T&Cs indicate this can take up to 6 weeks to post.

With this in view, there's a high chance my points won't post before the November 16 deadline.

What's the general consensus? Do you think the eligibility for the 10K bonus points will be based on actual activity time when they finally post (even if post-Nov 16), or will it be "if the points are showing there by Nov 16"?

Further to markis10's post, Ausbt has an article on how to get the 1000 pts through Regus. Free: 1,000 Qantas Aquire Points and one year Regus membership - Australian Business Traveller

I visited a Regus Office in NYC when I was there in September... this reminds me I have to chase up those points.

At least for Staples, they backdated when the points applied, it showed an activity and posting date the same. Hopefully this is the same for your parking.
 
I received 8 points, however, can not see where it has come from, and can not recall how much i spent with staples, but its gonna be from staples, just not sure about bonus.

....but now I have a good case to chase Aquire if the 10K bonus Aquire points don't post!!
 
Gave them a call and they said up to five weeks to post. So another few days for me...
