  Nice find, though I’m not sure it’s a current offer. According to the linked website, a night at the IC Park Lane costs 40,000 points. It did once!

  Mind you, the previous offer hadn’t taken account of rate increases, so it’s hard to tell.

    Good spot. I think this link is best used by anyone who was going to get the card anyway, so if they don’t get 40k then they won’t be disappointed.

    However, there is also a 30k points link which is definitely OK as hotels are promoting it in their lobbys – see ‘Credit Cards Update’ under PC Black for the link.

  Any idea if churning is possible with PC Visa? I have cancelled my card recently.
  Also its worth pointing out that it’s probably better to hold off applying until January so the points post in the new year for plat status.

    Black comes with Plat status anyway (although it is not on the website yet). Do a search for a post I wrote on this. And don’t worry … your points won’t post by January anyway. Possibly not even by Easter! Barclays is very slow.

  As a datum point here. I went for this card when Raffles last wrote about it. I activated the card late August and first used it on 26/8. The 40k PC points hit my account on 23/10.

    That is better going that us. Tomorrow is 8 weeks from the statement date of our first statement, so 12 weeks from the first transaction. Rules say you must wait 8 weeks from the statement date. I know they have got the right number because my wife account was moved up to Platinum already. Tomorrow I will be sending them an email …

  Can these points be moved to an avios account?

  • Raffles says:

    3 Dec3 December 16:28

    Yes, but rate isn’t great at 5:1.

• asher says:

  so what is the best way to use them?

  • Raffles says:

    3 Dec3 December 20:03

    Hotel rooms. 40k is 2 Holiday Inn nights in most places (1.6 in London!) or 80% of a super-luxury InterContinental night or a couple of Holiday Inn Express nights. If you redeem for PointsBreak hotels (see Tuesday’s post) you would get a whopping 8 nights for 40,000, but these hotels are offered quite randomly at this special rate.

  Will this card give me access to airport lounges?

  • Raffles says:

    3 Dec3 December 20:05

    No. The only cards that come with some form of lounge access are Amex Preferred Rewards Gold (no fee, only 2 lounge passes though) or Amex Platinum (£450 fee, gets 2 Priority Pass cards which get you into hundreds of lounges worldwide as often as you want, plus a Cathay Pacific Gold card which gets you into BA lounges at Heathrow.)

  Hi Raffles,
  What is the spend required to trigger the bonus?

  • Raffles says:

    3 Dec3 December 20:01

    Nothing! The first purchase triggers the bonus.
