  Of course Qatar do not have to worry about EU261 compo for many of their flights

  A certain broadsheet has naughtily published a list of lightening deals along with their own referral links in the article. They claim Moet will be £23.99.

  The robot Flymo is tempting, but I have yet to get a PowerPoint installed outside so maybe next year/Black Friday/Christmas.

    Naughty. I should, but won’t, show you what we had to agree to before they would give us the data ….

  I, for one, am happy to be a contributor to Qatar Airways profits, although I doubt they’ll be making much profit from me on a 16.5 hour biz class flight to Auckland for £1070!

  Much rather this than waste any money on penny pinching IAG!

    Hi Stu R, is this deal still being sold or was it from a previous sale? I’d be all over this given the chance?

    • Stu R says:

      12 Jul12 July 12:48

      Sadly from the deal earlier in the year – I think this was definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity!

        Stu you will also be getting the miles. I see from their accounts that unredeemed award flights are valued at c£115 million

          And to add to that, I just had an email from Avios saying I was one of the lucky winners of 9,000 Avios for exchanging Clubcard vouchers for Avios back in May, RESULT!

  One of the deals all day is buy a £30 or higher gift voucher, receive £5 promotional credit. Just follow Rob’s affiliate link, click on prime day and the banner should be there to activate the promo before purchase. If you look in the gc store, you can choose an email voucher and send it to yourself 🙂

    Thanks, bagged myself a free £5. Needs to be used by Aug 27th but suspect it will be used by the end of the day in most cases

  If you already used up your free trial, you’ll need to make a new account.

  • Genghis says:

    You get a new free trial every 12 months

    • John says:

      12 Jul12 July 10:18

      Oh do you? I guess I used my free trial less than 12 months ago…

      Well I have 2 accounts now so I’ll get a “free trial” every 6 months

  I really hope you don’t get “lightening” through Amazon…. 😉

  • Rob says:

    12 Jul12 July 08:57

    Yes, I saw that – need to fix it!

  To use baec avios miles on qatar, is the only way to do this to call BA CS?

  • Rob says:

    12 Jul12 July 09:03

    Assuming ba.com is still being ‘buggy’ and giving error messages when you try to complete the booking, yes. You can see availability on ba.com though.

    • Tilly71 says:

      Using BAEC account search tool, it doesent find the destination. If i go to BA site under using partner airlines search it finds it?
      Looks due to IT bugs i would have to call CS. I take it Qatar miles are the same amount as BAEC avios miles?

      • Tilly71 says:

        12 Jul12 July 16:07

        Thanks, but just like the other baec search tools, it doesent pick up my destination.
