  Moet at £23.99 isn’t really the deal of the century is it!

  • Scott says:

    12 Jul12 July 13:20

    I thought that! Pretty sure I was able to get it below £20 at Sainsbury’s in the run up to Xmas. If you bought 6 bottles you got 25% off, and they were doing Moet at £25 promo price and still allowed the discount giving a price of £18.75. I also seem to remember getting Veuve at £22.50 on a similar deal.

    Its not the drink of the century either in my book. Plenty of better Cava in Aldi for a third of the price.

    Drive to Calais and pay £17 a bottle for it that’s £42 a box cheaper

  Couldn’t resist! Signed up for the free trial, got a free book & free £5 credit 🙂

  Not taking any chances:

  (O/T) I hope someone can help here. I am on the “grandfathered rate” for Tesco Clubcard point conversions to Avios and have done a number of conversions before netting me 800 Avios for £2.50 Clubcard Vouchers. I have never before done a Virgin conversion (I am indeed a Virgin). Does being on the old rate for Avios qualify me for the old rate for Virgin, and if so, what is it instead of 625 Flying Club miles for £2.50 – 825 miles? Many thanks, Russell

  • Fenny says:

    No, there’s only one rate for Virgin, 625. I’m on the old Avios rate, but prefer Virgin Miles.

    Not sure if this sways you, but you also get a 2000 point bonus for signing up to Virgin autoconversion.

    • harry says:

      12 Jul12 July 19:55

      2000 is a nice improvement on 1000 🙂

      • Relaxo says:

        12 Jul12 July 23:59

        Whoops sorry, that should have said 1000.

      I do not see the auto-conversion bonus at Tesco, are you sure this is on at present. Can you send a link? Than you.

      • Relaxo says:

        13 Jul13 July 00:06

        Should be automatic. I did not have to go through a separate signup/link. Was a nice surprise!

• idrive says:

  I bought David Lagercrant’s Girl in the Spider’s Web for free, by mistake:-) clicking the link went through straight away!
  Good that I read the Millennium Trilogy and loved it!

• idrive says:

  it gives me the error message:
  “The Audible free trial offer is only available to new members” so a no go for me.

  • Genghis says:

    12 Jul12 July 17:25

    Me too. I may have signed up in the past but don’t remember.

  • harry says:

    12 Jul12 July 17:26

    same here but I already had a free trial so entirely to be expected

• Alan says:

  12 Jul12 July 21:00

  Thanks, Harry – hadn’t spotted that free book offer! Also didn’t know there was a 4th book in the Millennium series (Girl in the spider’s Web), so have gone for it!

• Alan says:

  12 Jul12 July 21:04

  Yup, not bad that. So £15 in credit and also £3 in Amazon Pantry credit (effectively free delivery on next order) for picking ‘no rush’ delivery, plus £10 off pantry order too! Bought a few bits of computer kit that were decently reduced in price too.

  OT: But I see that the often discussed Barclays Travel Plus Pack is changing. From 1st Sept 2016 the charge will increase to £15.50 (from £13.50) but when you look at the T&Cs of the changes they are also introducing a 6 month minimum term if you take (or cancel and take out again) the pack after the date of the change: http://www.barclays.co.uk/TravelPlusPack/TravelPlusPack/P1242609324028 . They are also introducing some parking and hotel discounts but they don’t look like they would be tremendously useful for my needs. The card secure feature is also being removed. This might be worth an article; I don’t think it has been covered yet? On a related note, do you have any idea if the Telegraph will be running a code for Dragonpass in the newspaper this year (for non-subscribers)?

  • harry says:

    12 Jul12 July 23:23

    I can see the new minimum 6 month term condition – but so far they haven’t changed the policy wording, which still states that policyholders can cancel the Travel Plus Pack at any time.

    • David says:

      13 Jul13 July 10:01

      The T&Cs state that if you cancel your (existing) pack and subsequently choose to take out a pack after the date the changes come into effect, then you must hold the pack for a minimum term of 6 months. Presumably the main T&Cs will be updated at the time of the change to reflect the 6 month min. term requirement. This will stop people upgrading to the pack for just one month to get the 6x lounge access passes.

    The Telegraph offer never went away – subscribers can get it all year round plus it was repeated in April – however, you need the current code (Sunday, April 17, 2016)

    • David says:

      13 Jul13 July 10:20

      What a shame I missed this.

      • harry says:

        13 Jul13 July 11:21

        Just ask a Telegraph subscriber for the code?

        I tried getting hold of an electronic version of the newspaper for that day – no good.

        Last year (SUMMER15 code) was released about now so they might repeat it.

        Cheaper in UK to use the £12.50 No1 Traveller deal – obviously depends on there being a No1 lounge where you need it.

          or try via the free trial for iPad? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/subscriptions/ipad/

    Thanks for this. Not heard anything re Dragonpass but I have no contact with them at all, to be honest. Bit of a shame as I’m sure we could do something together. The Priority Pass people are very helpful to me.
