News in brief:

Hyatt and Amex London event announced

For the fourth year, Hyatt and American Express are supporting a charitable weekend event in London from October 8th – 11th, organised by Driven2Travel and Luxury Travel Diary.

Whilst it is being held at the Hyatt Churchill hotel in London, guests are welcome from anywhere.  It is a better deal if you live outside London as you need to stay at The Churchill or its sister hotel the Andaz to participate.

There are various events – a champagne reception at The Churchill on Thursday, an American Express focus group on Friday, dinner at Hyatt’s Andaz hotel in the City on Friday, a Molton Brown-themed brunch on Saturday and a gala dinner on the Saturday.  All of the events are free as long as you are booked in the Hyatt Churchill or Andaz on specific cash rates.

I am due to be at the gala dinner on Saturday as a guest of the sponsors.  However, Head for Points, for clarity, has no involvement in the organisation of the event itself.

More London taxi discount codes including new £10 Hailo code

Finally, a couple of additional taxi codes as these always prove popular.

London black cab app Hailo, which doesn’t always have an offer running, is currently offering a £10 sign-up credit when you download the app and use code STANDARD10.

Meanwhile, London minicab app Kabbee has reactivated the Head for Points exclusive £10 code.  You need to enter code [deleted as now expired] after downloading the app.  Note that the credit is only valid for two weeks and you need to book a ride costing £10.01 or more to use it (the price is shown before you book).

There is also still £10 sign-up credit available for Hailo’s main black cab rival Gett (was Get Taxi) – see here.

Finally, if Uber has recently launched near you, you can still get a free ride up to the value of £15 by downloading the app and registering code headforpoints.

    I was invited to the Amex event from a FT member and will be attending on Saturday morning and evening, so see ya there.

  • Paul says:

    Does anyone know if you can get the bonus points on an Economist sub if you have done the promo before?
    I took out the sub last October and cancelled at the end of April.

      May well not notice, especially if you used a work address (perhaps send them to a family member for a few weeks and change back when the miles hit). Remember that you cannot get a partial refund now.

  • Camille says:

    I will probably be at the Saturday night event also. If so, hope to see you there.

    You must have had a very poor deal before.
    When I checked Utility Warehouse were 25-30% more expensive.

      I’ve switched to Ovo for 4410 avios.
