  It is a straight switch, I imagine. They don’t want you earning twice (or 3 times, if you include paying on a BA Amex).

  I have identified an issue with this offer. I bought a load of shirts from CT last week, having used them before. At the checkout, it asked me if I had an account. If I’d said no, I would have been presented with the box to add an Avios/BA number, BUT because I said yes, I was prompted to log in, at which point the box to add the Avios/BA number is NOT present. Not knowing they’d joined up with them I did not have reason to log in to the ‘My Account’ section and add my number thus missed out on my Avios. Basically, if you’ve got an account already the option is not given at checkout, or, put another way, loyal returning customers seem to be missing out.

    More worryingly, I just logged into my CT account again. I added my BA number when I bought some shirts earlier this month and they have posted.

    However today when I check my account details, my number has gone from my booking! It seems you have to go and enter it each time you make an order. “Your membership number may be entered on the checkout page, under the ‘About You’ section.” So you’ll need it every time it seems.

  Actually, this could be the start of a new trend. Get rid of the Avios and Gat365 portals and just register your details on the supplier site. No worry about cookies tracking and the retailer gets a better view of which of its clients are BA members. They can then do customer profiling better and sell your details on to other retailers looking at that (very lucrative I imagine – shirt buying, BA flying people) market segment.

  It seems that if you exchange an item, it stops the Avios posting. Just had online chat with CT. At first they said because I used a voucher I couldn’t get Avios, I then sent screen shots of the terms and conditions of the Avios offer, which don’t exclude vouchers. He then said that it is in the general CT t&c, although when I pointed out that these didn’t exclude it either he backtracked and said I would still get Avios, but that because I exchanged an item it caused a system error…
  Just to warn people, it isn’t straightforward.

      Any recommendations for good made-to-measure places in HK for a suit and/or shirts? Potential trip in the offing later this year 😛 What’s the rough timescale for them being made?

        sorry Alan just seen this

        in HK just ask a HSBC exec (go in 1 Queens Rd Central & seek) which tailor – also shoes to measure very cheap ie was £50 back then so £80 now brogues same as best in UK but fit better

        Sam’s seems to ring a bell

        suits, shirts, shoes – all better than UK @ 1/3 cost

          Oh wow lol ‘probably be there about 5 days so that’s definitely doable!

          I remember now, they gave us about £1000 budget to get a couple of suits and a few shirts made up, then sent us to Sam’s.

          As in – dowdy students, out in HK for training, let’s not depress our clients or our HK team by their uselessness.

          So we got a few things made up. One of those shirts was my favourite ever shirt, beautiful sea island cotton (ie double thick) with wonderful deep double dark blue stripes; must have given it to a girlfriend, sadly.

    If you have time on your hands, go to Spencer plaza or few big malls which have a collection of such stores like ‘Western’ – Shoppers Stop, Globus etc, where you may have more options.

  I ordered a few shirts last week (31/3) and the avios posted on the day of dispatch. Transaction value was £117.45 (including £4.95 delivery and the 10% discount code above and £19.59 of VAT). I got 450 avios, which comes out to about 5.27 avios per £ (assuming they don’t give avios for VAT and delivery, which was always the case), not 8??

    Definitely seems wrong. Wonder if Avios was adding the extra 4 separately?
