Just heads up this may affect some people who dont have there phone numbers in there name has to match bank account.. It did me as wife had my account in her name to get the points. But changed over this evening.

No news when they will take action yet against accounts though. Usual Thai goverment lack of information.
Answer summary
Recent changes in Thai banking regulations may impact expats, particularly those whose phone numbers do not match the name on their bank accounts. This has been highlighted by an individual's experience where their wife's account setup limited eligibility for earning points. There is currently no information regarding when enforcement will begin regarding these requirements.
