Are the points in your MR account?

I'd try to call Amex and see what happened and if they'll honor the bonus.

Was the transfer over the phone or online?

Why didn't you verify that it went though (transfers instantly, just need to log out/in of BA account)

Was there a name discrepancy on the accounts? That won't go through.

Are you supposed to get a confirmation email after the transfer ?

If you have the email I assume you can use that as proof when contacting them
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Mordyk's problem was solved.  Not raf's.
raf- do you have an email confirmation or any other proof that you tried to make the transfer?
are you sure you finalized the transfer ? on the lasst page when you do transfer did it show your new balance?
I had that once when I thought I cancelled a BA flight and didn't. Everything looked good, since they were telling me what I would get refunded after the cancellation,  but I din't click the 'confirm' button, so it didn't happen.
I don't think I got an email confirming my MR --> BA.  Although I did get a confirmation linking my BA account to my MR account. 


advice: call and call again.  Perhaps you'll get a sympathetic rep.  But don't count on it.
