  For some reason I was unable to find any tickets in London yesterday and I checked shortly after receiving the emal from Amex…

    I just checked too and London is not included…..

      Quite annoying that we Londoners have to spend £28 for the London parallel screening and we don’t even get to see the Q&A. I bought two tix yesterday at £28 each

  Oh my! Is this an Amex deal that those outside of London can benefit from?

  Must be a first. Stop complaining Londoners… you get significantly more perks from your Amex than the rest of us.

    If only there was some way those of us living in the sticks could get to the big city! Roll on the invention of trains, buses, cars and planes.

      Sure, but the cost of getting to London from Central Scotland just to take advantage of a free cinema ticket or priority seating wouldn’t really be worthwhile.

  There is no Atlantic Palms availability beyond 18 March 2017 which doesn’t correspond to the blackout dates listed in the article.

  Leeds is not there…..BUT since I am from Botswana and it’s a day before my birthday is enough reason for me to head to Bradford!

  Anyone know if card holder needs to be there. could i book tickets for relatives in another part of the country and let them use the tickets without me?

  OT – Anyone having problems getting into Awardwallet. I’ve been getting page time out errors since last night. I’ve cleared my cache and cookies and tried various ways of going to the page, including the link from HfP and still nowt.

    Am somewhat cheesed with AwardWallet right now as I’ve just realised it failed to notify me of 22000 Clubcard points that disappeared off my account… and have possibly expired without warning from Tesco or Awardwallet.

    I’m hoping it’s not true but I do have my Clubcard on AwardWallet and other changes in balances have been reported by AwardWallet by them sending me an email when they occurred. However not a peep on the Clubcard loss I’ve just noticed.

      Award wallet hasn’t been updating my clubcard account correctly for about 6 weeks 🙁
      All our family accounts randomly move up or down by large amounts for no reason.
      Other accounts update and have the same amount of points in each account,

  O/T did you ever pause to ponder what BA is up to with the Avios + money options?

  I just got 4 Avios RFS redemptions (summer hols 2017 return) for 30K + £70 vs current cash price £540 + booking fee (lol from Kiev 🙂 )

  So I got 1.57p/ Avios, mustn’t grumble. But here were my options & what that means for Avios valuation by BA:

  30,000 Avios + £70.00 or…
  24,000 Avios + £130.00 = 1p
  21,200 Avios + £150.00 = 0.909p
  18,000 Avios + £170.00 = 0.83333p
  15,200 Avios + £190.00 = 0.8108p
  10,000 Avios + £230.00 = 0.8p

  In a way, that’s a bit surprising – BA does actually seem to be encouraging us to redeem the Avios rather than pay cash – I thought it would be the opposite.

  Or is it just a way to squeeze a little bit more money out of people who are Avios-poor?

  • Rob says:

    Surely it is encouraging you NOT to redeem Avios when you only get 0.8p for selecting the 10k option?

    • harry says:

      14 Sep14 September 18:16

      oh right, I got that the wrong way round. So they are indeed trying to get you to keep your Avios and pay as much cash as possible, which is what I expected – thx for correction

      not going to tempt me when mine cost under 0.5p average & I’ve got a few down the back of the sofa

        Reminds me of the episode of Bottom where Richie has a “date” with the aristocracy and says, “I’ve got a few [avios] flying around the place you know…”
