  OT – is there a tool/website that allows wide search for a specific hotel chain? For instance show all prices for IHG properties for a specific date range in an entire country? Or show all prices for a specific hotel in a month (without doing 30 search)? A combination would be the best: show all night prices for IHG properties in a particular month in a particular country…

    TripAdvisor lets you search over a wide area and filter by brand (although you’ll need to manually set the filter to say Intercontinental and Indigo and Holiday Inn etc rather than IHG.)

  No one answered my O/T from yesterday, so before I ask for my subscription back 🙂 I’ll have another go! The question is prompted by an unplanned house move which means there will be a large chunk of spend later this week which I am very keen to go towards my 241 voucher!

  I have just applied online for the BA Black Card, already holding the Blue version (i.e. I want to upgrade). This hasn’t gone through online yet, but I was wondering, when it does:

  i) will my existing Blue supplementary card holder automatically get her card replaced with the Black version?

  ii) will the existing Blue cards keep working (and earn at the black card rates) pending receipt of the black card(s)?

  Thanks!

    Guessing I would say the exisitng supps and main cards would be instantly deactivated on upgrade and you would need to apply again for new “black” supps.

      I’ve no direct experience of BA Blue to BAPP upgrade but my best guess based on a Gold to Plat upgrade is that supps get cards automatically. Not sure about part ii.

    Hi

    In my experience (having done exactly that) the answers are as follows:

    The existing cards (yours and supplementary) will both be upgraded (and old blue will keep working until you activate the new upgraded cards) . Amex website will show when your card has been upgraded to “black premium plus)

    I am pretty sure (but not 100%) that you will earn “black” avios rates once the website shows you as holding the black card – even if you are using the old blue card. Obviously to be 100% sure you should try and wait for the actual new card to arrive and use that

      Thanks all for your comments – will feed back my experience once the card comes (assuming its approved!) Roberto – its a long shot… does the name “Ord” mean anything to you from a forum many (15) years back?

        Nope sorry.. However 15 years ago I was in my 30’s and drank a lot less. Plus I was living in the UK and getting ready to preform my own personal (and far less painful) Brexit looking for adventures new. We were only going to be here for a short while whilst recharging my life cell but that three year sabbatical has become 15 in the blink of an eye.

        Since then I have become a synic, a gym bunny, a professional coffee drinker, a grandfather and a hell of lot more fotgetful. Sorry I dont recognise your handle ,but if I owe you money I can refer you onto my accountant ……

          Haha. No money owed. 🙂 There was a website that had an obsession with building society demutualisations. I know there is someone else who posts here that used to contribute and your user name also used to be a prolific poster there!
