lloyds duo airmiles - airmiles not credited

in Credit cards
Hi there,
I took out airmiles duo end of June and the offer then was 1500 miles when you open the account and £1/mile for the AMEX duo card for 3 months from opening the account.
I have spent over £5000 on the card, 95% of which is AMEX ( paid for holiday on the card) and I have got only got an additional 160 odd miles .
I called LLoyds and they claim the miles for AMEX is capped at 1500 for £1/1 mile, it then reverts back to £10/mile. I asked for confirmation that this was an additional 1500 on top of the bonus 1500 I got when I opened the card , they said yes. I mentioned that even by their calculation ( which I dont agree with) I should have more than 3000 miles which was agreed. I was told to write to card operations.
There was no cap of 1500 when I opened my account and even on my first statement it states clear £1/mile for AMEX ( no condition attached)
Anyone else had this issue?

Hi,
I took the same offer out, but honestly can't remember what the deal was.
I don't think that there was 1500 miles PLUS £1/mile for 3 month.
I've jut been spending on it and have so far, after 2 statements amassed £1/mile. I'm currently at 1836 miles as I've spents £1836 on my card, so it clearly wasn't capped, but also there was no introductary 1500 miles either.
I'm continuing to spend on it until it goes to £10/mile, as then, it really isn't worth it and I'll revert back to my BMI credit card0 -
