@Dan would you post such a question on DDMS? Was there anyone who was locked out/didn't get miles that didn't book tickets from SDR?
I was locked out and got "inconsistencies" email. All my flights were PMI-MAD.

Did you provide information? Did you get an email that points posted?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

All of mine were SDR-MAD.
Guess I should have bought RTs, but c'mon.

I bought OWs (hey, I'm Jewish, and flying out of MAD is more expensive), but I made sure that one could physically make it to all flights (in theory), and I did book several routes.

So it seems that when I call in to book flight that cannot be found online they see availability but dont see my account  :o :o :o >:( >:( >:(

I can log in no issue and the points from bonus and the transferred points show up. Contacted by email and twitter. Going to contact BA as well. Thieving Spaniards.

I was on the fence whether or not to get in on this deal for a few days. What caused me to shy away is the fact that i spent the last 3 months fighting with IB because they messed up my INF ticket when i last flew with them and made me buy a new ticket in the airport.


I was promised numerous times that i will quickly get that refund on my credit card.


It took countless phone calls and hours to finally get back the $327. Their customer service is infuriatingly non-existent.

Were cancellation emails sent out across the board, or did some people just log in and see cancelled flights?

So far it seems DROPR and HUCA. Their entire CS line is hooked up to an old telephone line jack that is loose.  ;D I hear every second word.

My cheshbon:

I booked 10 ow SDR-MAD, typically one per week in the spring time. 

Did this same pattern for each of 5 individuals: myself and DW (old accounts) each of our 3 children (new accounts).

BH, DW and I had our points posted and they remain. In fact, I had a previously booked award flight that would conflict with one of these SDR-MAD flights, but BH that didn’t seem to bother anyone.

Our three children’s accounts got bupkus. One got the request for ID. One I can’t remember.  One got “you opened new account and had an old account, so we canceled the new one, and BTW you won’t get Avios.”  That was my oops — didn’t remember that DD had a prior account  and had her make a new one.

I’m waiting to get past the 330 days to book for me and DW (and hoping there is no clawback before that day arrives).  I suspect that none of the kids will get their Avios, so I will try to get their flights refunded.
