So did you get the shirt?If I'd have known you could get a free Villa away shirt for buying four tyres I'd have taken out a loan and bought a car to go with them!

As soon as the card arrived I did just that and waited, and waited. In March I checked with AVFC and got an email confirming the offer was still valid so called MBNA customer services where a pleasant lady checked and agreed I had qualified and she would pass it on to marketing and I should get the shirt in a week or so. Again I waited, and waited until last week I emailed their customer services and waited. I have now had a response saying they can confirm there is no free shirt offer linked to my account! I am staggered at the abruptness of this response when I have clearly qualified and to add insult to injury the response went on to tell me about other benefits of having an MBNA card.

The free shirt offer was only for on-line applications. I also met a rep in the ticket office who tried to get me to sign up. She was genuinely surprised when I told her that I already had one and had received a shirt as her promotional offer was different.
I hope you pursue the matter with them and get your shirt as if it was mentioned to you as part of the deal by the rep then I would assume that it would have been part of her promotional package.
I'd wait until October to complain about it. That way you should be able to get the "new" away kit out of MBNA
Hold on a minute. Are you saying that you and Legion applied for the same offer and you were the unlucky one?Sorry, but I don't believe you.

Legion got his shirt fair and square, I didn't although I have complied with the requirements.
