    Doh! How did I miss that?!

  Is there any way to transfer etihad points over to Virgin as I’ve just taken that bonus offer in the past few months.

  • Rob says:

    4 Jul4 July 09:35

    No. Only option is book a one way via Etihad and back on Virgin (or partners).

  “a 500% increase” should be 400% increase.

    We have this issue once a week and I doubt I will be changing anything 🙂

  Shame the 5k bonus for stays at Hilton has come to an end! I’ve been staying at Hilton properties in London weekly since the beggining on May – going to miss the 11k points per stay I’ve been earning! (Double points promotion, gold bonus + 5k bonus)

    Managed to get my 4th stay, tomorrow, to attain gold on both our accounts at Hampton Corby.
    40k spent, 40k received in bonus – plus 4 packets of crisps and 4 bags of maltesers, billed to each room 🙂

      we stayed at Corby on Tuesday night. Unless you have other plans, suggest you try the food there; we went to JD Wetherspoon opposite which was pretty average. The manager said I see you are silver so you have lots of experience of Hilton hotels. I hadn’t the heart to tell her that I got silver by having a credit card and by spending £750 on it got a free night in a real Hilton in Toronto (50,000 points) and was getting gold for four stays.
      I am off on a mattress run to Newport tomorrow; must make a small purchase. I did not buy anything at Corby but still got the points. I did not get the extra 2,500 for first four stays on credit card although I did in Derby on Monday by paying for the car park.

        Paying for Hilton car parks is one of my bugbears.

          The hotel in Derby city centre had no car park – we stayed in a public car park at half price through Hilton.

        I only stayed once and that was just to try the breakfast, which was good for the standard, of hotel, Hampton is.
        I did think the beds were disappointing though and the sofa beds had a dangerous n
        Metal protusion, which both our children walked into, in the dark, and got bad bruises on their leg from it.
        The hotel is good value for 5000 pts a night. Even better when it doesn’t cost you any points on a gold challenge. Hopefully the Conrad Rangali will give us, and the kids, free breakfast next year, although we will all be in the same room 😉

  Just booked a First class return from London to Abu Dhabi on the A380, seems like they’re still taking bookings at the old rate even though it’s already 08/07.

  Saying that, still can’t get over this increase. I’ve emptied my Etihad account and will just use AA miles next time.
