  “We covered the British Airways ‘£1008 Club World’ Black Friday deal extensively last week”
  “Last week I mentioned the widely reported story that IAG’s CEO”
  Does HfP follow the convention that the week starts on a Sunday?

    I suspect the readership of HfP is higher on weekdays. I know I have more routine for checking in each weekday morning than I do at the weekend. So subconcsiously I see HfP as a weekday tool, so anything from the preceeding Monday to Friday would be last week to me.

      Lowest on Saturdays, Sunday high, Monday highest.

    I know that I do, I guess I just picked it up from my folks, plus the calendars we had on the wall were setup that way. Interestingly the ISO definition is actually for Monday, which I hadn’t realised. Both options are available in Google Calendar, Outlook, etc. https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/days/

  As a reminder, the 2.5k HR points also works on buying currency at Travelex (pre-order in advance for better rates). Like other readers, done this a few times. I also got written confirmation from HR that currency orders were included in the offer.

    Also works the other way round. I had some spare USD and got the 2500 HR points after converting them back to GBP. I couldn’t find any way to order in advance though, so got a crap rate. But I needed the cash and the £ had nose dived so it was worth doing for me.

  Heathrow rewards is great timing, I just splurged £4.6k at the airport and got a huge 24,000 points… this included the bonus 15,000 plus the double up plus 250 points for reserving for pickup on the way back through! That’s over 5% back

    Don’t wish to pry, but may I ask what you do that enables you spend over £4K in one day.

      Sounds like bought a watch tax free, or a very expensive hat.

      They own a credit card with a modest limit?

• Nick says:

  OT: can anyone please remind or link to the method of adding Amex offers to all your other cards (replacing the number in the offer URL). Can this also be done if I have already saved an offer to my card.

  Specifically interested in the Apple £30 back on £200 spend offer and looking to buy a new MacBook

  • Temp says:

    You copy the save to card url and change the “sorted_index=” to the number of the card you want it added to. Not sure how it would work if you have already saved the offer.

    Have you considered buying from Harrods and benefiting from £30 back per £100 instead?

• Nick says:

  27 Nov27 November 10:09

  Can anyone confirm if only a max of 4 Harrods gift cards can be used per transaction?

  Also, is it possible to buy Apple gift cards, from the Apple concession shop inside Harrods?

  • Rob says:

    27 Nov27 November 10:20

    Go to the Harrods Rewards desks (3rd or 4th floor) and they can merge gift cards together. I have done this.

  • m says:

    Is it possible to buy Apple and pay with harrods gift cards?

    • TGLoyalty says:

      27 Nov27 November 14:16

      In the Harrod’s concession, yep

    • Johnnycl says:

      27 Nov27 November 17:01

      Paid for an iPad today with three Amex cards at Harrods so no need to mess around with gift cards if you don’t want to.

  Seems like too good to be true or am I missing something? It’s coming up as £6 for membership and first visit included.

  Rob happy Sunday and thanks for the site. Let us know if you can release some additional tickets for the hfp Xmas bash as I’d love to come.

  • Catman99 says:

    You are mis-reading the offer….it’s £6 to buy a 50% discount on a subscription ;0)

  OT: CX lounge in T3 to re-open tomorrow morning.

  • Rob says:

    27 Nov27 November 13:43

    It’s a miracle 🙂

    Only 3 months late then ….

  OT but BA related, cancelled return flight Syd to Singapore put on quantas flight times ok but lost the seat selection i had paid for, ended up in middle 2 of a 4. Can I claim this back? Thanks

  • Alan says:

    27 Nov27 November 15:23

    Should definitely be due those fees back when you didn’t get the service you paid for – not sure how much hassle BA CS will put you through though.

    • Bobby says:

      27 Nov27 November 15:24

      Thanks for reply I will get on at them

      • planesailing38 says:

        27 Nov27 November 15:34

        BA CS was surprisingly efficient when I contacted them for a refund of fees. Was sent a form to fill in if I remember correctly.

      Just a quick thanks Alan for putting me on to that Sainsburys offer!

      • Alan says:

        27 Nov27 November 16:36

        No probs, I picked it up myself from comments here then verified limits in store thanks to nice checkout rep! Have done it 4x now – not bad for £20, 380 Nectar points and £400 more towards my Amex sign up target!
