Airmiles and Bose

I recieved a leaflet today with my Amex VA Credit Card bill.

It was for bose.

It was advertising headsets for bose. If you buy a bose headset you will get 7 miles per 1 spent.

The link they gave me was http://www.bose.co.uk/virgin The link does not work though!!!

Anyone recieved the leaflet and tried to make a purchase? Its kinda poor marketing by Virgin if they want me to buy the headset and the link they sent does not work! I only got the leaflet today!

Link seems to work OK for me
Only problem - the free shipping disappears if you add the comms. kit.

Does not work for me.....

Nor me. Looks like Bose haven't done the page yet or have a different location for it.

Mind you, 7 miles for £1 spent is very good, especially as Bose isn't cheap.

It works on IE but not firefox!?!?!

[Darren Wheeler]

Now works.

Looks like it's on the normal pages anyway. Bose will call you for your FC number. Doesn't state what the deal is on the page though.

If you dont have the Amex, you still get 5 miles for every £ spent and if you buy noise cancelling headphones before end of November you get a free cabin bag.

Its in the FC 'your messages'

Wow! It works now! They sorted it!

You know... for how much they offer you - I'm half tempted to sell my QC3's (which have a great re-sell value) and re-buy paying the difference.

I would get all this additional:

FREE standard shipping if you order by 30 November 2008.
FREE iPod¨ Shuffle with every purchase of QuietComfort¨ headphones ordered by 31st December 2008.
FREE BOSE¨ CABIN BAG when you purchase QuietComfort¨ 2 or QuietComfort¨ 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling¨ headphones by 30 November 2008. Although your free cabin bag will not appear in your shopping cart, it will be automatically added to your order.
EXCLUSIVE VIRGIN ATLANTIC OFFER
Once your order is confirmed one of our representatives will call you to request your Flying Club number. This will ensure you can receive the FREE Miles.

So for ~£50 I could get:
- Free iPod Shuffle (which again I could sell off to re-coup even more costs as I have an iPod Touch)
- Free shipping
- Free cabin bag (Is this a bag for the headphones, or carry-on?)
- 1,925 airmiles

Would practically cost me nothing if I do sell off the iPod Shuffle too [}:)]. lol It's a lot of hastle though (for me) to sell on eBay both the shuffle and headset to someone that won't scam me lol

The free shuffle is the clincher for me......

My Bose headphones arrived this morning (UPS) in a great carrying case. Included in the box, the IPod Shuffle.[^] No Free Cabin Bag![V]
I rang Bose to ask why and was informed that they were waiting for more to come into stock.[ii] Then, after checking my order details, the guy said that I should only have recieved the IPod shuffle anyway.[?] According to him, the offer was an either/or free gift. I begged to differ and asked him to look on the website,www.bose.co.uk/virgin.
(he was unaware at this point that Virgin had this offer).[:(] When he read what I had read, he went away, then came back and said that Bose would honour the offer as per the website and he would make sure that the cabin bag was despatched as soon as possible.[y]

Because I had ordered all this on line, there was no space or box to quote the promotional number for my FC miles.[:?] When I mentioned this to the guy, he said I had to ring Virgin to get the miles!! I then pointed out that one of their reps should be ringing me for my details. Again, he was unaware of this.[:(] In the end I rang the Virgin Flying Club, seeing that this offer was on their website, (under Messages - Your Offers). He didn't know about this and when he looked under messages, he couldn't find it.[:?] So then I asked him to look up the Bose.co.uk/Virgin website, he eventually came back and asked me when I had ordered the headphones, so I gave him my details - order number etc, and he assured me that the FC miles would be added within the next two weeks.[:)]

Dear oh dear, the right hand not seeing the left hand methinks. What a performance! So if anyone out there has ordered said phones, be prepared. On the other hand, you maybe lucky and not have any problems whatsoever [:w]. If you are thinking of ordering, I should do it before they change their website[:w]
