Waiting for my points too. Looks like nothing before midnight.

Yep. I'm even waiting up just in case they post in time!

 

[digpomi]

Got my points today as well, about 150000 points. However, I have already done maximum velocity points transfer this year. Planning to warehouse them till needed

I got my CMCGC points.
I've been on the ropes about transferring FB to VFF. Had accumulated a lot of points there & copped 11% depreciation this year.
Did some VFF redemptions on EY before the new sector charges were announced so figured I'd save my FB for EY redemptions (lower sector charges).
Have reconsidered & taken advantage of the 15% bonus before midnight (posted instantly including bonus) to keep my options open. Have made some SQ redemptions for next year via VFF points transfer. Might do that again for further redemptions. Leaving options open for another 139k FB limit for 2017 that will still leave me heaps of FB points.

What?

No family accounts for FBs?

Nothing like sharing good things around...

 

[Dr Ralph]

Still no bonus points for my Coles Pre paid Gift Cards, but maybe they'll post by the time this ends now:

Just to note, JB GC bought at C oles in September counted towards Etihad tier miles.

A couple of datapoints

For those who might have seen vp*ys in BP shops, they do not earn VFF points (at least on the receipt). This concurs with T&Cs

I was unable the vp*y to load my newly reinstated CRLMC
Is this the new normal?

Are you saying that you can no longer use Vpays to transfer funds to the Coles Reloadable Master Card?

A vpay I bought yesterday didnt work this morning-not sure if its a glitch or widespread (or less likely an individual restriction)

 

[bbqwer]

No longer can load vpay into RMC

 

[andye]

My vpay is working otherwise as was able to make payment to hcf

Addit:CRLMC isnt allowing ATM for me currently either

 

[exceladdict]

No longer can load vpay into RMC

Confirmed or suspicion?

 

[Dr Ralph]

Confirmed or suspicion?

Confirmed for me. Just tried it.

I only have a few left which I will use to pay some bills.

 

[Austff]

No longer can load vpay into RMC

Do we have to accept this ? ,shouldn't they give notice of this type of change ?.

 

[albyd]

A number of Visa GCs weren't working previously so makes sense given the recent 'please explains' anti money laundering freezes we've experienced. Short of using the ATM facility as a cash out that earns Coles RLMC no merchant fees, I don't see how they're disadvantaged by not blocking it.

 

[andye]

Do we have to accept this ? ,shouldn't they give notice of this type of change ?.

I think they could justify not accepting Vpays as they are not technically a debit card.
If they are blocking withdrawals, I would argue that would require a change in PDS with notice
Having said that, it seems that this particular game is nearing its end and its time to think about the next match

 

[andye]

I think its been mentioned elsewhere but GCs didn't count towards Flybuys VA SC earn this month

I had Only1 and Bunnings earn SC (double!) in November, but not Coles Gift MC. Is this month different T&C's? Happy to try my luck again if the T&C's haven't explicitly changed.

Not aware of T&Cs changing. I found Coles Gift MC worked in Oct but didn't this month. Didn't buy true third-party like Bunnings this month
