Have you had the bonus points awarded yet? I've applied but was wondering how long the points take, you can get a 1 night stay at some decent hotels too, if you use your points across the lower priced awards you can save quite a bit it seems.

I sent them a mail yesterday and they confirmed that my extra 1000 points would be credited within 7 days.

looks very tempting...just one question cant find anywhere where it says you get 1000 free points.

Thanks

Took me a while to find it too, it's here: http://www.mysiriuscard.com/promotions/memberoffers.aspx#faq10

Apologies, forgot to add that link there is also 150 points when you initially register as well so hopefully the 1000 points will be on top of that.

I was reading the T&C's and I get the impression that you have to get vouchers before you can use the points. For restaurant bookings it says that they need 48 hours notice.

Does anyone know if you just present a card or if you need to order vouchers?

It seems to me that it can be done online.

Hi all
I registered for the sirius card a couple of days ago, emailed sirius and asked them to credit the account with my free 1000 points which they have done. tried to make a claim for 2 vouchers for Afternoon tea at Burj al Arab and it won't let me do it!! Something to do with introductory members not being able to claim awards, only permanent members can do this. I believe that to become a permanent member you have to spend 30 US Dollars and then they will send you a permanent membership card. was just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible for me to somehow spend $30 FROM THE UK and then be able to claim my vouchers for Afternoon tea as I am off to Dubai end of November.
Any help would really be appreciated. I still reckon a free afternoon tea for 2 at Burj al Arab is worth it if it obly costs me $30!!!

Maybe contact them and ask? They have 2 hotels in London, maybe go and spend it there if it's convenient?
