Maximise your miles from Avios, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and other airline and hotel loyalty schemes!
I continue my attempt to empty my inbox by running various short pieces on items which don’t justify a full article! Virgin Trains puts the breaks on Traveller Hot on the heels of news that the generous East Coast Rewards loyalty scheme will be wound up at the […]
One of the most useful benefits of having an American Express Platinum card – and one which genuinely helps justify the £450 fee – is the Fine Hotels & Resorts programme. FHR, as it is known, is a collection of 600 luxury hotels worldwide which […]
(EDIT: as per the Comments, it seems that there is a technical issue with card numbers whose 5th number is a 0 resulting in a “by invitation only” message and a refusal to register you) American Express Travel has launched a very decent bonus promotion for […]
EDIT: Direct links to register now available, includes MBNA and Lloyds cardholders A large number of new hotel cashback deals were launched by American Express yesterday. Whilst only the Thistle deal is outstanding, what is great about these deals is that you can combine them […]

American Express has launched what I assume will be its final batch of ‘statement credit’ offers for the year. You can access these deals with either an American Express-issued card (British Airways, SPG, Gold, Platinum, Nectar etc) or with an Amex card issued by Lloyds, […]

Saturday 6th December is the second outing for the UK version of ‘Small Business Saturday’, a slightly more welcome US import than Black Friday! It is, in theory, little more than a PR exercise for small traders and the benefits of shopping at local small […]
Earlier this year, American Express Platinum launched a new benefit for its US and corporate UK Platinum cardholders. Through a tie-up with a company called Boingo, you can receive free wi-fi when you are out and about in most parts of the world. Boingo is […]
