Another Miles More Friends

Hi,
Tried to introduce to family members via the ecard system but the emails have never arrived. One is a BT Yahoo account and the other is a Hotmail account.
Is it a case of keep trying till an email comes through or is there a larger problem with the system?

I have introduced a few friends via Miles More Friends & all the e-card emails arrived - some near instantly. The people I introduced were on a variety of different email addresses, including one btopenworld / btyahoo one, a hotmail one & a few "work" email addresses, so the e-cards passed through corporate firewalls no problem.

Get your friend on a btopenworld / btyahoo email address to sign onto their webmail from the btyahoo homepage & check their "Bulk" folder, just in case the e-card has been filtered into there as possible spam.

I actually have access to one of the web emails and nothing arrived, either in the inbox or the bulk email.
This is not the first time this has happened either.

I think this may of been discussed before also with somebody else having similar problems...... and after a quick search here is the other thread.

Our works email put the ecard for MMF referal into its spam folder and I had to get our IT guy to manually allow it to my work mates email. My gmail account did not block it but I know a the other halfs hotmail account put it in the "junk" folder, so it seems their is no specific pattern and no actual answer or solution.

Edited to add the link to the old thread

Which reminds me..... [^]where's my miles![^]

My "miles more friend" has made his outward journey now. Do I need to wait for him to make his return journey before I get my grubby hands on those miles?

I hope he doesn't fall in love in Mumbai or something[:?]

I have double and triple checked and there is nothing in the Spam, Bulk or Junk folders. Same thing happened when I tried to send an invitation to the Mrs.

Yes, is the simple answer. You will get your miles when you friend has completed the return leg of his trip. I have always had the miles credited within days of that return happening so you shouldn't have to wait long afterwards.

Just as an update, I managed to get one family member signed up but I have been unable to send another Ecard. We even set up a new email address on Yahoo and, despite half a dozen attempts, nothing has shown up at all. Emailed Customer Service a few days back but no reply as yet.
I have only introduced 2 people so I cannot be beyond my limit.
