  OT I sent some Virgin miles to my Hilton account for the first time 12 days ago but they’ve not yet arrived. If it to soon to chase? Thanks.

    Hi Peter, I think they do them in batches. Last time I did a transfer it took around 20 days but have known them to only take a week too.

      That’s great, thank you.

  Totally off topic: I have an email offering 75% bonus when buying Club Carlson points.

  With the devaluation of GBP against USD this works out at approx. £33 per 10,000 points. Is this a good deal?

  Received Heathrow Rewards to BAEC but transaction shows as Miscellaneous.
  Would this credit OK for bonus 1000 Avios into account?

  OT IHG just emailed me saying they have an up to 100% bonus on points bought before 16th November

    I have similar email but with 80% bonus points.

    Trouble with points is that as a family of four it allows me to make a cash booking but not with miles. As with Reward Nights it says max 3 persons and would not let me book. Not sure if there is any work around this?

      Some hotels take 4 in a standard room – eg Hilton Park Lane, Holiday Inn Camden – for big chain redemptions.

        Yes, true.
        I am able to book redemption at many UK based HIX for four of us, but the redemption rate is so poor, it i best to pay cash and preserve points.

        I was trying to use it at CP in Auckland where 25000 point redemption makes better sense than paying cash rate of £125 or so.
