I gave them a call, explained that I'm waiting for the bonus, however the base arrived in my account over 8 weeks ago and they said there's a slight delay, but they're hoping they'll get it out before Christmas. They did ask if there was any urgency, but I don't have any awards I need to book so it's not the end of the world! :p
 
Thanks for the update samh004. Therefore as my transactions were done just prior to the 15/11 deadline, they'll have sorted it out by the time my 8 weeks rolls around ;) - or am I just into wishful thinking
 
Someone from Aquire just rang me re the 10k bonus. They mentioned this forum, so they are reading all our frustrations.

Unfortunately the 8 weeks is from when the points appear, so even though mine are dated October 9, they appeared in late November (courtesy of weeks of hassling Staples). So my 8 weeks is not up yet. They acknowledge that there are problems that are being worked on, and said if I didnt have the bonus by the end of December to call again, as it was getting too drawn out.
 
Thanks for sharing blackcat20.

Oh great :o :p, so my Secure Parking transactions haven't yet posted to either of my accounts and the clock hasn't started to even tick on my 6-8 weeks.

Lucky I don't need the points :o

What a joke!!! Have they not heard of computers?? Nothing tales 8 weeks. And from the date they "appear" They are having a lend of us. Great way to destroy the program before it starts. Not to mention the double points from eligible flights not posting either. Absolutely hopeless!!

I told them I do need them, as I have an award flight to book, and they are holding me up...

I also said I wasnt happy with the use of the word "appear". Apparently this whole promo is a test of how things work with their partners. I'd say it gets a big fat F at this point.

As in 'F', must try significantly harder and as in Fail :).

Well that's wrong too. My staples points appeared October 11. Well over 8 weeks now.

I also mentioned that, and they did acknowledge that the awarding of those points is behind, but they are working on it. I don't see why I should have to wait longer because Staples had so much trouble awarding the base points really....
 
Thank you Blackcat for the update, I am in no hurry for the points, but I am sure frustrated with dealing with Staples.
 
Thanks for the update blackcat. I find it all pretty ridiculous. I mean, from when the points "appear"?? What the hell does that mean?? How is anyone supposed to know when they "appeared" unless keeping a daily diary of points posting.

It's all very bizarre. Lucky I don't need the points.

Unfortunately they seem to be able tell when they appeared (they read the date back to me).

I'm looking for the "have been" email rather than the "will be"!
