News in brief:
£15 Amazon discount code still working
Amazon is still offering a £15 discount Amex Gold and Platinum cardholders. This deal is meant to run until 31st October.
This offer is a promotion to encourage you to link your Membership Rewards account to your Amazon account, with the option of using your points to pay for Amazon purchases.
You can save £15 on your next Amazon order of £25 or more as long as you part-pay with Membership Rewards points. This is what to do:
If you have not already done so, link your Membership Rewards account with your Amazon account by visiting this page on the Amazon website
Buy £25 of items on amazon.co.uk (these must all be sold by Amazon and not third party merchants, and excludes digital content, including digital gift cards. A product with is ‘fulfilled by Amazon’ but sold by a third party will not count – it must be ‘sold and fulfilled’ by them.)
Enter code AMEX16SWP at check out
You MUST select your Membership Rewards-earning Amex card as your payment card (you cannot use gift cards or any other payment source)
Part-pay for your order using Membership Rewards points. The sneaky option is to redeem just 2 points for a 1p discount. This saves you ‘wasting’ MR points on a low value redemption. You will only get 0.45p per point and you shouldn’t waste more than 2 of your valuable points on such a poor deal!
This offer is limited to one £15 discount per Membership Rewards account, so if you took advantage of the deal over Christmas then you can’t do it again.
What happened to the British Airways A318?
British Airways dropped one of the two London City to New York JFK services last year.
You may have been wondering what happened to the aircraft. Readers of a sensitive nature may want to look away now.
The plane has been leased to charter company Titan from the end of May. This is their marketing leaflet – click to enlarge:
If you need an A318 with 32 fully flat seats for the weekend, you know where to go.
That isn’t the whole story, however. After two years, Titan will have the option to buy the aircraft from BA. In the medium term Titan intends to convert it into an ‘all economy’ aircraft but this article implies that the original configuration could be reinstalled if, say, someone wanted it for a global music tour.
