It's been quite a while now that I have had 158 pending points in my East Coast Rewards account.
I did see an announcement on the East Coast website that they were having problems with the system and were working on it.
A couple of weeks ago I tweeted to them asking if a solution was in sight as in a month or so's time, I'd be wanting to book a first class return journey.
As you will know, this requires 900 points, guess what?, I have 890. The pending points would give me enough to be able to book the journey/ tickets I want.
My journey is Edinburgh to London, so you can imagine my reluctance to endure 4+ hours on those horrific standard class seats.
The reply I got was quite unhelpful and confusing:
'Hi Steve, unfortunately we're unable to alter the date the 'pending' points will clear on. Sorry.'
Firstly, does anyone 'on the inside' know when the issue is likely to be fixed?
Secondly, is there any way East Coast would account for the problem and let me book my journey and use the pending points?
