Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

SAVE THE DATE: HfP Christmas party, Tuesday 6th December

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

I’m delighted to announce that, after four years of pestering from readers about organising a get-together, we will be holding the first Head for Points reader Christmas party on Tuesday 6th December.

We will be taking over the Dry Martini bar at the Melia White House hotel.  The White House hotel is an attractive 1930’s building situated just a few minutes walk from Warren Street, Regents Park and Great Portland Street tube stations.

This will be a great opportunity for you to have a few pre-Christmas drinks and, more importantly, to meet fellow readers and to share your travel hints and tips.

Melia Hotels International is generously sponsoring the party and underwriting a large percentage of the drinks bill.

There will also be a prize draw on the night.  One guest will win a very attractive prize from Melia – more details coming soon – and there will be a number of runner up prizes too.  (Please get in touch if your company would like to donate a prize.)

Because we need to ensure that people who ask for tickets turn up, we are charging £15 for tickets.  However, your £15 ticket covers unlimited house wine and beer between 6pm and 8pm.  Soft drinks will also be available.  We are not making a penny from this and indeed Melia Hotels International is footing the bulk of the cost.  After 8pm, the bar will remain open for cash payments for anyone who wants to stay longer.

Tickets will go on sale at 9am on Friday morning – we will publish full details in another article.  We honestly have no idea how popular the event will be but I hope that as many of you as possible can come along to meet Anika and myself and to talk miles, points, credit cards and travel with other readers.  You might even win a prize.

    I reckon I’ll be able to make it. Any other readers from the credit card industry coming?

    • Rob says:

      I will email my trade contacts and offer them the chance to come along and mingle with their customers ….!

  • Rashad says:

    I am in 🙂

  • Hani says:

    Sounds a little out there, turning up alone. I’m in!

    • Rob says:

      This are great events for coming to on your own. You start a conversation with anyone with an opener of ‘where have you been recently? / where are you going?’ and, to be honest, not many people will bring their partner unless they are equally into miles and points.

  • Sussex Bantam says:

    As others have said I’d definitely be up for this but the timing doesn’t work this time. I hope it is a big success and you can organise another one in the Spring sometime.

    Who knows…this might lead to the first HFP wedding in a year or two.. 🙂

    • Rob says:

      We actually had a wedding as the result of our annual drinks party when I worked in the City!

  • Ken says:

    Shame. I am at the Royal Variety Show that evening. Have fun guys.

  • roberto says:

    I wont be able to make it but wished I could. Would be great to put names to faces and talk miles with people that dont think I am off my rocker. Hope it goes well and plan to make the next one.

    I’m in Newcastle that day, but well done to Rob for managing to get such an amazing deal with Melia
