Sorry excuse for an airline.

That was my experience with them dating back to pre Dan's Deals days. (Back in the 90s the had some kind of an error fare where JFK-MAD-TLV was pricing in the low $400s if the TLV-MAD segment was booked in J. The flight experience TLV-MAD was terrible. Lights stayed on, no IFE, no snacks, flight attendants didn't show up when called. They did provide a hotel for overnight connection, but on the return TLV-MAD the check-in agents refused to issue J boarding passes and put anyone that had such a ticket in Y).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Sounds like a great way to get banned.

If it wasn't for all the blog coverage and confirmations by IB I would have ignored it.
Oh well.

How widespread are the issues? Have many people gotten clawbacks?

Are the clawbacks all new accounts? I booked through an established account and even transferred in BA to top off for an award booking that I havent pulled the trigger on as of yet. Points still in the account BH.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

No, new accounts didn't get points in the first place.
