  Amex Connect also has a £10 back on £50 online spend with HEX until 11 December. Presumably you could double dip (2 Express Class standard returns in one transaction would do it)

  PayQwik. Signed up for PayQwik when the first trial came and got 500 cc points. Half heartedly used in for last promo and surprised that 300 cc points were dropped into cc account the other day. I think I’ll use it a bit more now (if can get a further 200 cc points) considering almost no effort.

  • Chris S says:

    Did you delete the PayQwik app and sign up again when you got the 300 points the second time? Or just use the app as you had been for the first trial?

    • Genghis says:

      22 Nov22 November 10:42

      I deleted the app after used if the first time (saw no reason really to use it) and then reinstalled it though used the same PayQwik account login details.

  Not sure if it’s been covered here before: Flybe has announced an end to its franchise agreement with Scottish airline Loganair, which will now operate under its own brand. This will probably mean another huge blow to people in the remote regions of Britain. While they already have to spend up to an extra 9000 Avios just to get to LHR (1-2 extra legs, one way), they probably won’t be able to use Avios for the first leg at all anymore. Rob, if you want to use Avios for your long-planned beach landing on Barra, you better hurry up…

  • Rob says:

    Didn’t see that, thanks.

  • Concerto says:

    Do you know when it’s happening?

    • Kinkell says:

      22 Nov22 November 09:34

      Sept 2017. Apparently new livery will be Tartan and red. Codeshare with BA remains

    I did the beach landing this summer and it’s worthy of it’s reputation. Loved the luggage carousel . . a rack by the bus stop. Best Avios I’ve used. Was going into Benbecula next so losing Loganair on Avios is a swizz.

  • Alan says:

    22 Nov22 November 12:35

    That’s something at least, but if only codeshare then won’t be able to redeem Avios for them.

  GLH sale – so those lucky enough to stay/checkout between 19 & 23 Dec could double dip with the Amex GLH offer on £100+ spend if choosing a suitable rate! The T&Cs say book pay stay by 23/12 but anyone know if pre-paying would mean we could stay after 23/12 in reality?

  • Rob says:

    22 Nov22 November 08:04

    Sometimes hotels like to ‘do you a favour’ and not charge until the day before you arrive.

  • Jen says:

    22 Nov22 November 09:21

    We stayed in a GLH hotel a couple of weeks ago and used the Amex offer. Rooms were less than £100 but adding the parking charge in advance brought the total above £100. A non-refundable rate was booked but my card wasn’t charged until check out. Got to stay by the 23rd I think. Sorry!

  • HayMow says:

    22 Nov22 November 15:53

    Thanks Jen & Rob – guess non-refundable/prepay works out differently depending on hotel chain then – when I don’t want to prepay I have to, but when I do (with GLH) then it’s non refundable but I pay on check out! 😉

• N says:

  22 Nov22 November 07:42

  Re Thistle/Amba/GLH – this will stack with current £50 off £100 in Amex.

  OT: Did anyone get points at pizza express for linking the Bink App with avios account?
  This should trigger 1000 new partner bonus but it’s been three day and no sign of the transaction.

  • Matt says:

    22 Nov22 November 07:57

    The 1000 bonus points take a few days (at least) to show up.

    Is there any more news of the Bink/HFP tie up Rob mentioned a little while back?

    • Rob says:

      22 Nov22 November 08:03

      Yes, competition hopefully running 5th December with a monster prize! Hopefully.

    • m says:

      22 Nov22 November 09:19

      Sorry. I was referring to base points – not the bonus.

  • PalCsaky says:

    22 Nov22 November 08:50

    Base points took just over a week to show up.
    Does bink earn avios with any other retailers besides Pizza Express?

    • m says:

      22 Nov22 November 09:21

      Oh no. Wonder if I’d be able to claim them with avios.

  • Rebecca says:

    22 Nov22 November 08:53

    I went to Pizza Express on Saturday night and am still waiting for my points.

    • Rob says:

      22 Nov22 November 12:09

      We tried this out and they did post after a few days.

    • Craig says:

      22 Nov22 November 17:11

      4 days for the base points for me, still waiting for the 1000 bonus from the 14/11.

  As much as I’m an Apple Pay fan, I think Tesco’s system is pretty great on the basis that you don’t have the scan your clubcard AND payment method. You just use one barcode and it does everything. Not sur about Bonus points as I’ve been using it for a few weeks now.

  • Alan says:

    22 Nov22 November 12:37

    Although I’ve found that sometimes when I load the app the barcode doesn’t appear and I have to out and back in, which is a bit annoying.

    I’ve found they did post but it took a variable amount of time. Awaiting final 100 but Tesco Twitter team are able to see when you’ve used the system and happy to add manually after waiting an appropriate number of weeks if required.

    • Liz says:

      22 Nov22 November 14:06

      I chased them up after several weeks for 2×500 pts. TEsco contacted Payqwiq while I waited on the phone so the guy could get confirmation of the transactions and the OK to post the points manually which he did – then 2 days later they posted properly by Payqwiq so I got 2000 pts in total!

      If I delete the app from our 2 phones can I reinstall and set up 2 other accounts using the same phone or do I need to use other family member phones. Has anybody tried that?

      • Alan says:

        22 Nov22 November 15:36

        Haha that worked out well! Nice 🙂

      • Brian W says:

        22 Nov22 November 16:58

        Yes you can 🙂

        I’ve collected the 500 bonus points over 4 different Clubcards during the last one. After the 5th transaction on each one I didn’t even delete the app, just logged out and then registered the next one. You need a different payment card each time. I’m
        Going to try it again with the first CC I used and see if the bonus posts again…..worth a try!

        • Liz says:

          22 Nov22 November 18:29

          OK Great!

  O/T

  Hilton Gold back for Amex Platinum.

  Plus 5,000 bonus points for 2 nights stays:

  ‘And for a limited time, you can earn 5,000 Hilton HHonors Bonus Points when you stay two or more nights at any of Hilton’s 13 hotel brands and pay with your Platinum® Card2. Offer ends 28 February 2017.’

  To match the Visa offer most likely. Doesn’t mean much here vs. Virgin Black but choices nonetheless…

  • Rob says:

    22 Nov22 November 20:35

    No. Read small print, only valid for new claimers of free Gold status.
