        Don’t think I’ve ever had one. The clubcard gods aren’t kind to me.

      • the real harry1 says:

        17 Nov17 November 19:35

        = £40 discount on £240 of Amazon credit, better than that if you actually buy some groceries (I don’t)

        so a near 17% discount on your Amazon purchases

    • Alan says:

      17 Nov17 November 22:05

      Sadly never get these when doing self-checkout 🙁

      On the upside just had another batch of £7-£10 off £50 so back on the giftcard train again!

  O/T hat-tip DelTroon

  In the latest edition of the BA magazine Up to Speed: “British Airways will be changing the way it boards aircraft with the introduction of group boarding in December. This method has been used all around the world by many airlines and aligns BA with partners American Airlines and Iberia. Group boarding simplifies the process, making it easier for customers to understand the boarding sequence at the gate.

  At the check-in stage, the customer will be put into a group number dependant on their cabin of travel and frequent-flyer status. This number will then be displayed prominently on the boarding pass, printed or mobile. Customers who are entitled will continue to be offered priority boarding for both long-haul and short-haul domestic.”

      A question of great importance – where do Avios redemptions sit in these?

      Will redemptions get a one group relegation? Will 2-4-1s get another one group drop?

      • the real harry1 says:

        17 Nov17 November 19:07

        just put in your British Airways Executive Club number on Manage My Booking

  Hmmn…this was tried , can’t remember where we were, Shambles! Full flight, all of us at gate. group 1 clled forwards, surge of folk, not checked going through door, onto a BUS!. Thus, all groups mixed up on buses to plane. As a group 1 pax, not impressed, and i saw folk clutching passes blatantly not showing Group 1. New boarding still allows for folk to clutter up the aisles slowly stowing overhead bags a nd hindering those getting to seats further down fhe plane..
  However, trial and error etc etc

  • the real harry1 says:

    17 Nov17 November 19:30

    on my flights to place in the sun half the good folk don’t speak English so naturally just want to board ASAP

    flight boarding gets called & they surge to the front (BA), despite cheap seats, no status

    rarely are they sent back to their proper place in the queue, they just get allowed to board

    personally I think you must have a broom up your jacksy if you let this ‘irregularity’ bother you – we as Brits might queue & board in turn etc, other cultures don’t have the same mentality – and they’re not wrong or worse because of this

  How many NowTV boxes have others bought successfully?

  I’ve bought 2 + 2 so far, worried that buying any more will flag my account up. Is this fair or can I buy more?

  • the real harry1 says:

    17 Nov17 November 20:13

    you can probably buy a few more

    think about the math, though

    Ebay 10%
    PayPal 3.4% + 20p
    packaging
    postage
    hassle/ negative feedback when the cheats hit you

    • JamesB says:

      17 Nov17 November 20:45

      @trh1, the boxes I got were a little older so only £2 each at CEX.

      @N, I got 7 in my own name, a lot more spread across household. There is a risk my points may be witbdrawn though.

    • N says:

      17 Nov17 November 21:15

      I’ve split the boxes into

      Power supply
      Box
      Remote
      Pack voucher
      Sky voucher

      I’ve already made back 60% of my outlay and of the 20 tems I’ve sold 10 of them.
