Mine to keep? In my case, it was duplication.

Same, Same.

Didn't even realise I had bought so many policies!

Yes, a serious "Bank error in your favour".

I wonder how it compares to this Amex one from 2008:

Seems someone forgot to tick a box with the Amex one.

Not sure what sort of 'error' this EDR one was. Lets leave it generic; 'error' for both.

Unfortunately points for my policies weren't duplicated but some were denied. Best I can tell, I think I'm actually still two payouts short even after the recent reparations.

The "we're sorry for the error" email I just received did not mention the reason I was told at the time for the denial of bonus points: "Your transactions exceeding three policies breach our Fair Use policy" (or some such).
