  Thanks for this not had the letter. Did you ever get the 5000 points for the new Amex foreign currency transfer?

    They have until 31 March to post them. Someone on Flyertalk posted today that Amex had told him they would appear at the end of January.

  Was just thinking when was the 5k bonus going to hit my account, as I wasn’t sure if I did it right…guess we will soon find out!

  One backpack hostel owner in Thailand with a room rate of £8 is going to be puzzled about the upcoming reservations;-)

  He might be a little surprised that plat/gold amex card holder are he new customers…

  however, just noticed that if you have a no show at one of these cheap places they charge a £7.50 cancellation fee – so not sure that it’s worth it. 2,500 points for £15.50 is not such a great deal ….

    Yes, you need to check the small print. Although I’ve never seen a no-show penalty on a PAID stay before – are you sure that is not just the fee if you cancel the booking for a refund? You often get a cash no-show penalty on points redemptions.

  Doesn’t work for me. I get the code in the greyed out box when I log in and go to the Amex travel site, but I just an error message when I try to use it to opt in.

  My plat letter for this arrived today – it featured a woman taking a photo of a temple across a lake on the front, and the usual platinum card “Realise the potential” logo in the corner on the back.

  I’d actually booked some flights on the amex travel website yesterday, but only registered for the bonus 5000 points this morning when I saw this post. I think from the T&Cs that I should still qualify, as it seems to indicate you need to book by the 31st of Jan, but nothing about needing to register before you book. We’ll have to see!
