  The post office promo last year was excellent. I bought the One4All gift cards and then applied them to Amazon for essentially a 50% discount.

  OT – going to be flying from CDG T2D to LTN with Easyjet. The Priority Pass website says that the Sheltair lounge is only for Schengen flights – is that correct? Thanks

  Never mind…the ‘participating locations’ are rather limited to a small handful.

  Small Comment here for Brexiters that think EU regulations are such a drag (which turns out they are not).

  It was the UK that pushed for the interchange cap.
  Secondly, the Eu limit is 0.8%. The UK being the only country putting less.
  Finally, since none of this has appeared in consumers pockets, well, Torry friends (business owners) bag the difference.
  You can complain about the EU, but please do the research first.

    That isn’t how business works, unless you expect shops to increase or decrease prices every time a single input cost goes up or down.

  Regarding the BA offers. I only received one offer of the £100 off a £500 BA spend on one card so I emailed AMEX via the secure messaging asking about other cards I and my wife have.
  The offer has been added on so I can now make a few bookings and get £100 off each.

  QR sale, EX EU just found HEL to PHUKET end of Jan for £770 approx pp return in J. But long layovers with hotels included…in case anyone wants some last minute Asia sun. Plus tier points…

    Can’t see that. Any codes or is this the companion fare ?

    • Talay says:

      1 Nov1 November 19:58

      I only see circa €1900 or so return.

      I could route through HKT to BKK for that sort of fare ?

    • Polly says:

      Tally, yes it’s a companion fare, plenty of seats late Jan, you have to pull up the 15 day view. I just looked at HEL to HKT, and it’s working out at £770 pp. not via BKK at all. This is via DOH only. I didn’t look at BKK. You actually have to run along the dates to find the reduced rates. Plenty there, l promise you. We have already got Vietnam booked for Jan from OSL from the last sale, and these prices are even better. Takes time and effort to find what suits you. I just put it out there so people are made aware. So good hunting.
      NO code needed.
      Rob will post when he gets back, he said.

  OT someone has mentioned here that to achieve a target spend on Amex to trigger BA 2-4-1 voucher they would consider buying fully flexible 1st class ticket. Has anyone tried this? The bit that interests me is when you receive refund back on your card how do you transfer it back to your bank account?

  • the real harry says:

    that would be easy enough but I personally am not really in favour of this method

    obviously Amex can’t keep your money when you close an a/c

  • Polly says:

    RR, might be better buying gift cards for your food and petrol purchases In advance. Pay some bills at the co,op pay point etc with Amex. DVLA, post office, Amazon. Only bill l can’t get on Amex now is SKY. That’s definite spend you know you will have anyway? Yes they will refund you when you cancel your card, by cheque or BACS. Refundable flight, the last option usually. Of course, people’s plans change.
