I just noticed that I’m only getting MR points for spend above the ’round pound’ threshold.
E,g. Spend £0.99 get zero pointsHas it always been like this for MR points?
I know for the Avios-earning cards it definitely got rounded up.Pretty sure it’s always been like this for MR cards.
Same with Nectar points, always rounded down. Certainly for as long as I can remember.
On the BAPP card it’s rounded up in comparison to 1.5 avios per pound.
My examples have been the following:
£0.50 -> 1 avios
£1.50 -> 2 avios
I have seen some transactions like one I did last week for £73.56 that wouldn’t round up though. I received 110 avios instead of 111 avios. But on the same statement I do have a transaction of £1.50 that earned me 2 avios. A while ago I was wondering if anyone knew about their rounding as I couldn’t find any specific answer on it.
On my Free Rewards card £0.99 earns nothing.On the BAPP card it’s rounded up in comparison to 1.5 avios per pound.

On my Free Rewards card £0.99 earns nothing.Avios rounding is different to MR, it is rounded to the nearest Avios.
For your £73.56, multiply by 1.5 = 110.34 Avios, hence your getting 110.
£1.50 x 1.5 = 2.25 Avios, so 2.
Meanwhile, £3.20 will net you 5 Avios.

That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!
Yes, standard MR cards have always been like this.
Unlike the virgin card, that is based on total spend per month, but MR points are available as it charge clears
