    I received a cheque for £36.21 this morning which was for BA flights during the period. I didn't have records for all the flights, so only gave my BA Executive Club number in the claim.

    well done guys. I hope my cheque is in the post. I took about 4 flights during that period so hopefully will get something soon. Every little helps and will go straight in the Mortgage overpayment pot.

    Hurrah!

    Got the refund cheque today for a trip on Virgin me and my (now) OH took to New York in 2005. £20.12 for the two return tickets :T

    Strange that they did not deposit it directly as I gave them the correct IBAN codes etc. The letter claims I got a cheque as 'an ACH deposit was not available ...because your bank does not accept such deposits...'.

    Very strange - why then do my bank publish the IBAN number on my statement :confused: Now I'll have to pay postage to bank the cheque.
  • Hubby and I did laugh when we opened the envelope to find a cheque for a whopping £4.84! (I have told him not to spend it all at once)

    This is a follow on from my post(#12)on this thread. Got a cheque for £6.71 today. I couldn't stop laughing when I opened it this evening - I was expecting a tad more. Anyway its a moral victory rather than a financial one for me.

    Good luck to all who claimed.

    I received my check today. Waiting for my partner's check to arrive. It was my first and only flight on VA, so it wasn't hard to remember! Thank you MSE!

    Hmmm - I don't think there is much reason to be thankful to him for. After all, if VA hadn't tried to run a cartel with BA in the first place that £53.66 would have been in your pocket rather than Sir Richards for the past 3 or 4 years.......
  • Just received a cheque for £6.71
    Return journey from UK/St Lucia

    Amount seems pathetic for long haul journey.

    Wonder how much the settlement administrator received from my compensation ?
