  OT:
  Closed my platinum account after reaching bonus (and MR transferred out). I now had to return one of the items I had bought with the card and get a refund. I have two issues:
  1. How will I get the money back from amex?
  2. the refund will tip me below the spend target (£1879 instead of the £2000 required), what will Amex do as I have already transferred the MR out?
  3. will this put me in Amex bad books?

    Easy – call up amex and they will either BACS the credit back to your direct debit account, or raise you a cheque.

      You wont lose your transferred points, and unless you make a habit of it AMEX will still be friends with you.

  You used to be able to go via Clubcard.

  But in essence your points would be tax deductible Vs a cash discount at the till. Of course this depends on how much tax your business is paying. Ryman is very expensive IMO 🙂

  Avios and BAEC conversion now has a 5% bonus which is not as good as 25% but still better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

  No, they changed that after the fact. I used that article as the basis for the piece I wrote on HFP and there was definitely no closing date listed.
