Is there no tracker on the 10k to understand if and when you have hit it for the 80k points – that sounds a bit hard to manage on your own – any ideas?
What I have been doing is checking via Live Chat – they can see it clearly on their systems.
Step 1 – is get them to confirm that the 80,000 points offer is loaded on the card
Step 2 – say you’d like an update on the progress of you much have spent for this offer and how much you have leftI have done this every two weeks since upgrading and each time the rep was able to give me the stats within 2 minutes of asking.
Thanks a lot – I spoke to them – they say I need to make some transaction before they can see the offer loaded on the card, which feels a bit odd?
It does. I’d put some transactions through it and then go back with the same question. I assume you’ve screenshotted everything; the application approval; the application link etc etc – you know…just in case
