I'd forgotten all about the FC birthday bonus so it was a nice surprise to get my card this am and to now be 2,000 miles better off. :D
It helps offset the joy of being another year older :) .

Happy Birthday! I got the birthday competition entry this morning instead for the VIP box at the 02. In fact half of my birthday post this morning was from airlines and travel companies - don't know whether that's sad or not :D

Happy Birthday, If they want to buy your birthday for 2000 miles and you stay a year younger, it seems a fair exchange to me - or doesn't it work like that ?!! y)

Thank you everyone (diolch, Daffodil). :)
Jacki, how I would gladly trade miles for years. Sadly it doesn't work like that :o) :o).
I thought older age was supposed to bring some benefits like cheaper car insurance? Nope v( v( Mine has just rocketed by 20% on last year's premium!! I've had no claims (for 20 odd years), no speeding convictions since 1981 (eek :0 - I was 17 LOL ) and I don't drive a hugely high insurance rated vehicle.
Grrrrrrr.
Right I'm off out to paint the town red whilst I still can (and can remember my PIN number :D ).

honey lamb, I'd look into that... I am not a UK resident and still got my b-day bonus miles earlier this month.

Bump

Why is this bonus only available for AU Residents of the UK? I'm only temporarily resident in the US, but missed out again on this.

I suppose I could have changed my residency online back to UK, got my miles and changed it back :w ...but I forgot again this year! ][|)

I think it's now for all AUs as I got mine and I'm not UK resident

Good evening all.

I reached AU in December and have just recently celebrated my birthday 06 Jan but I haven't received my Birthday Bonus yet, how long does it usually take for them to reach your account?

Many thanks D y)
