Just received letter from FC in post y) 4 miles for every pound is rather nice!

Think there was something similar last year - waiting for the postie!

Ditto - and with the crazy high cost of fuel and a few long trips coming up, it should help rack up a few extra miles.

Mine just arrived-very useful. I remember from last year- quite a good little bonus.

Very nice, could be around 6000 miles over the two months, with shopping and fuel.

How do you get these miles?
Any particular stations or cards needed?

It's the Virgin Atlantic Amex card - and the letter states any supermarket/petrol station...

NB:

Excludes: Marks & Spencer, Farmfoods, Spar
Excludes: Online Shopping

...does that mean Ocado is excluded? I guess so

Mrs monster got one but not I; is it because I've got a black AMEX?

Not had mine yet either (white).#

Maybe sending with statements (mines not due until end of next week) ?

That'll be a result then; drive from Plymouth to Glasgow in July - how much fuel will that use??

Unfortunately Lidl don't take credit cards !

The letter is from Flying Club, not MBNA

Got mine yesterday. ....I have the black card so it's obviously not restricted to the card colour, mind you I also got the £140 annual card fee on the account as well..... v(
Maybe it will still apply to you as there doesn' seem to be any mention of preference to card type on the letter

I got my letter Saturday and like everyone else's says any Major supermarket and petrol station, excluding those already mentioned by NH in the small print on the back of the letter.

Applies to all VA Amex cards issued by MBNA. Happy spending folks y)

+1, hopefully might hear something next week. Will definitely like to take advantage and switch my spend from the Plat to the VS AX. Spend about £400/month on fuel and £200/month on groceries so will be a nice stack of extra miles.

Just as a follow up, I've received a nice hefty 'bonus miles' figure this month which could only have been derived by taking into account Ocado spend meaning that, although these are on-line purchases which are supposedly excluded, they appear to have been included

What I can't quite fathom though is exactly how they get the final figure for bonus miles? OK I'm happy with my lot but surely it should simply be a case of double miles on qualifying spend - this being 'supermarkets and petrol'. I have no petrol at all and when I tot up all the Ocados, the one Tesco and two Waitrose shops it doesn't quite tally - falls short by around £100.

Not a big deal, just wondered if anyone else can actually verify their bonus miles as being spot on with expectation?

Thanks
James

My bonus miles worked out exactly. It was only 300 bonus miles as my billing date is the 9th of each month, so only had 9 days worth of shopping/petrol, but it is 100% spot on with what we spent at qualifying places, nothing online.

Thanks everyone, I am a plonker as failed to realise that I was looking at the whole statement which kicked in during May, therfore before the offer started. When I ran the calc for purchases from 1st June it balances

I wonder if this is a targetted offer. I made two petrol transactions on my white VS AX:

01/06/2011 03/06/2011 SHELL ST PETERS £35.07
04/06/2011 07/06/2011 SHELL ST PETERS £35.00

and my billing date is 13th of the month and no bonus miles.

same here I have no bonus miles for supermarket or petrol spending

Yep got all mine including bonus miles
And allocated to my FC account on the same day as my CC statement y)

After a lot of V Flyers compalined about late mileage posting, it seems like all is back to normal now... ^)
Oh Dear, I've said it now, watch it all go wrong again! ):
