Just to say that Katie (E-Commerce Manager / Assistant Store Manager) sorted the QPR cash out for me finally. Katie is the one! For future reference.
I have now set her to hunt down my lost loyalty points, but that may be a bridge too far. |

I think email addresses are the problem. Whoever created the new account used the same email address as I already had an account under. I didn't create it, as you can't have two account with the same email, so it must have been someone in the box-office or at the club. When they tried to merge the accounts they in fact deleted my old account, then re-instated it, and now I'm left with a mess and lost loyalty points.
It doesn't sound as though this has happened to anyone else though, which was what I was posting to discover. I'll just have to live with it or start again with another email address. I am a bit upset at having all my online supporting history erased. |

I'm not so worried about the Tifosy Bonds themselves, which are toddling along fine, it's the effect on my ability to to do anything online with the QPR club accounts that is the problem. I can't buy tickets, or anything from the club shop, and have lost the majority of my loyalty points. I was wondering if anyone else had suffered the same, as a result of buying Bonds, or from any other account muddle. |

I bought a couple of the Bonds from Tifosy that invested in the new training ground. Not really for the profit or perks which are not huge, but just to play a part in the future of the club.
Something about doing that completely mucked up my QPR club online account. A new account got created and in the process lost all my loyalty points, and I have ended up with a split online personality ever since, so I haven't been able to buy tickets or anything from the shop, as myself. The QPR cash that I earn from the bond gets allocated to an account. I can see it. But I can't use it. It's not a vast amount, but it is irritating that I can't do anything online.
The box office team have been helpful up to a point. They gave me (grudgingly and after I had given evidence of over 40 years of QPR support) the same loyalty points as my wife (a lot less than I had, but probably enough to get a seat at another playoff final , or heaven help us, a later round cup game, which is what I was most worried about (I am an optimist).
Having failed to redeem my QPR cash yet again I am finally asking on here...has anyone else had similar issues? It has taken up a lot of my time and I do regret buying the Bonds which is a shame.
I can't help but think that this has been caused by there being effectively three accounts that need to link together: club account, ticket account, and shop account. I think the problem is that I have two of each, but they don't line up correctly. I have spent many hours on the line to the box office trying to sort it out, to no effect.
Anyone else in a similar position? I don't want to get shitty with them, but it is really frustrating. Anyone know who at the club might really be able to sort it out? It's been years now! |

Four pages into a great thread about coffee and no mention yet of Ethiopia, which has a claim to being its birthplace as a drink! For a really beautiful and different coffee experience go to somewhere like this place on Goldhawk Road
https://www.dafrik.co.uk/
for a jabena coffee ceremony. I was off the coffee for 10 years until I tried it again in Addis Ababa. They don't make it strong, but the taste and smell are something else.
The food is amazing too. |

I'm in Brussels Airport waiting g for a plane to Toulouse right now for a friend's 50th birthday bash. 18th July is my 60th birthday. I'll check out the stadium this trip and, with this level of coincidence, almost have to get to the game in July. |

I was in the lower loft that day, and missed it as someone was heading out in front of me for a liquid in/out. I didn't own a telly then so it was only in the Internet age that I got a proper look at it. |

Mammon (greed), Lucifer (pride), or even Belphegor (sloth), but surely not Baphomet (Templer balance). |

Great thread. Thoughtful stuff.
My direction of travel was the other way. Lived without any framework until mid 30s, and very anti any idea beyond myself. Took me to hell (homelessness and a whole lot more). Being gently introduced to an open mind spiritually was life changing beyond any reasonable hope.
God I don't know about, but there does in my experience seem to be a measurable phenomenon related to the amount of honesty, kindness, generosity and other such behaviours I bring to the world. It's not Karma, a benefit profit and loss account, it is just goodness on its own account, in all things. I only manage a tiny bit but the impact is quietly awesome in a very ordinary way.
Like God, afterlife is unknown, and it is entirely possible to have a rich meaningful life without knowing or needing to know. Some sort of faith that goodness has meaning is usefull though.
Cheddar on everything also helps a lot. |

I lurk, a lot. Not one for active social media. Social generally not my strongest suit.
I didn't grow up in a football family and took little interest until I was taken to my first QPR game by a BBC colleague, a certain Steve Y (who I would love to meet again if he lurks or shines here) in that 1st Premier League season. 3-3 Middlesborough I think. Totally hooked, and QPR has been the only constant in a sometimes tumultuous life ever since.
Don't go so much now (young daughter and demanding job) but had a few spells of season tickets (mostly behind Loft End goal, for some reason little Jonny Spencer steaming towards me is an enduring memory) . Also went through a period of travelling to away games with wife for cultural weekends that ran up to the Wembly Playoff final, which even my not-so-football wife counts as one of the best of our lives. I have Clive's write up of that printed out and it still makes me cry.
We live very near the Emirates now, and if I was able to change my LFW moniker it would be to ArsyR. My daughter is sadly a Gooner, not least because she has been to Loftus Road 4 times and has never seen us win or even score... but I haven't given up. Her cousin is a big Rs fan because I inducted my half brother, who actually lives in West London.
Having broken my silence I will write more, but doing this on my phone is driving me nuts.
Thanks to everyone who does post. I love this site. [Post edited 2 Sep 2024 0:22]
