  Thanks for this, very useful to top up M+M and also practice my school German 🙂

  OT
  Does anyone know if you get offered any avios bonus if you upgrade your BA Amex to the BAPP?

  • Rob says:

    Some people get a 6000 Avios bonus added on but no-one knows why! Certainly not guaranteed and the call centre know nothing about it.

      Thanks! Will give it a try

  Just spent £3000 on the BA Premium card, once the points show on my AMEX account, can I safely downgrade to the free version? I have no intention of getting the the 241 voucher and only want the avios. Thanks

    You should be fine.

  • Rob says:

    25 Oct25 October 09:47

    Yes, not a problem.

  • roberto says:

    25 Oct25 October 10:46

    Or just cancel the card after you move the points and reapply in the summer next year.

    • Kirill says:

      Going to wait and see what Shop small brings 🙂

      Thanks for all the replies guys

  Also OT – when was the last time there was a bonus on the Starwood Amex? I’m wondering whether I should hold fire on a new application.

  • Genghis says:

    Targeted promo last xmas

      Thanks. Probably worth waiting a little longer.

  Appears you can only use the OCTOBER code once per M&M account. Cancelled refundable booking, saved 30 euro, and nabbed 5325 miles. Cheers Rob

    Care to expand?

    • czechoslovakia says:

      I had two refundable IHG bookings I wanted to cancel and rebook through M&M. First went through fine, second came up with:
      Sorry, aber Sie haben keinen Anspruch auf diese Förderung ( OCTOBER ). (in short, I am not eligible)
      The promo code for the 4000 bonus is OCTOBER, already added in Anika`s link.
      Luckily both booking were for 1 night only, so nothing lost

    The German LH page in the screenshot says “einmalig” which means you can use the code only once.

  OT- On my Avios.com account it says refer your friend for LLOYDS Avios card and both of us would receive 4500 Avios.
  Is this true even if I do not have any existing Lloyds credit card?
  I also learned from past posts that invite emails are slow (or non-existent in some cases) to get by.
  Considering to get this for my wife to use and possibly use for HMRC payments.
  Also in experience is Lloyds a churnable (is this a word?) card?

  • mark2 says:

    25 Oct25 October 10:35

    True you only need an Avios account. Admin is poor.
    Also no FX charges and cash back if a Lloyds current account holder.

  Unfortunately the 4,000 is only once per person.

  The upside is that the 1,000 minimum is per night.
  And they often do more.
  So 40 nights is probably enough to get 55,000 M&Ms which in their sales can be a Business Class return to say Orlando.

  The pricing on the hotels site is unpredictable – they have a few of the GBP400 per night with oodles of miles a la Kaligo, but for the booking I made (Warsaw, Rialto in December) the cash price was less than at booking.com.

  I’m still waiting for points from Best Western promo on MM website. Got only 500 miles instead of 3500. It took 3 weeks to get any reply to my email and now they sent it to partner for verification.

  • Mark LLL says:

    When I registered for this promotion on the LH Website I remember reading that the
    bonus MM points will only post after the promo period has ended i.e. 31st October.

    • Mark LLL says:

      25 Oct25 October 11:52

      I mean the stay at a Best Western and get 3,500 MM points promo.
      I’ve made 3 stays and to date have received only the standard 500 MM each stay.
      p.s. I am BW diamond, thanks to Rob’s great advice and tips on HfP.
      Thanks a million.

      • Richmond says:

        I had a problem finding T&C after some time as promo is well hidden on MM website. It’s quite possible that points will post later. Customer Services should pick it up and say so in the email then.
