Aquire 10K bonus for using a new partner and double flight points

Thinking out loud here......
1. we will get our 10,000 Aquire points for joining.
2. we should get an additional 10,000 when we purchase something from a "Partner" during the promotional period, and that partner applies the points to our account. (which is our issue at the moment - Staples system is in melt down)
3. Aquire staff are not in a position to help with the points from Staples.
4. If I was Staples management, I think I would be reluctant to allocate staff to this points issue, let's face it, we used and abused their system with $2.00 purchases and then got free freight.
5. I believe most of us here don't give a hoot about the Staples points, we just want our "bonus 10,000" for shopping with a partner.

Would it be possible for one of the Mods or someone that knows management at Aquire (or find out from Red Roo who to talk to) to see if it is possible for us to send copy of our receipts from Staples (to prove our purchase during the promotional period) so that our bonus points may be applied.??

I know it is not Aquires responsibility, but then it appears that Aquires Partner was not in a position to deal with the influx of orders and the repercussions of applying all those points to the Aquire system.

Aquire would be helping out a Partner, and stop the hounding of Staples staff (who really only know how to post out a ream of paper) and the frustration of the members here.

I do not understand all the impatience. Previous bonus offers had taken a time to post. They advertised up to 8 weeks. Are we all starved of points so that it is a life or death matter.

Relax worry about this after Christmas.

It's not the bonus points some of us are worrying about but the base points. No base points = no bonus points, hence the worry.
 
I don't fully agree with the statement "it's not aquires problem". It's their program... If staples have stuffed up and refuse to fix it, Aquire need to take some responsibility.

Totally agree, who did we get the email from saying we'd get bonus points for shopping at Staples, it was Aquire not Staples. So at the moment it seems to be Aquire in the hot seat for potential false advertising.
 
Flights are 'Pending'. Anything else should be 'Points'.

I have a small handfull of "Points" and thousands and thousands of "Pending" which I can't convert until my employees and I have done the mandatory 20k (will be completed shortly).

Thanks. It all makes sense now. I just realised I have 2x FASAs next year that could work.

Has anyone successfully earned Aquire points for ASAs?

Edit: just saw the earn table and PUZX classes are not eligible.

Is that what your email said? Mine didn't say shop at staples and we'll give you 10,000 points. Mine said earn points from a partner and you'll get 10,000 points. You need to earn points from a partner - you need to get the partner into gear!

Mine said earn from a partner too and then gave me the name of some of those partners of which one was Staples. I didn't just find out that Staples was a partner accidentally, VA helpfully told me.
 
I believe it expired on Nov 16

Seems the new sign on bonus has processed. Waiting on the first points earn bonus.
 
congratz to you guys. My staple normal points still have not posted on the activities screen but has landed in the totals. No bonus 10k however.
