  I was in the Escape lounge last week and they were redirecting KLM status people to the 1903 lounge – this has taken a lot of congestion away from Escape and I heard the staff proudly stating that they hadn’t had to turn any Priority Pass people away since the change was made the previous Thursday.

  The Manchester lounges are notoriously difficult to get into with Priority Pass so this is a great move by the airport (for me on my Flybe flights anyway!)

  Does anybody know how long one actually has to keep the car for these “three day” deals?
  Obviously one has to pay for three days.
  But if one pre-pays, how early can one bring back the car?
  50 hours would work – that get’s charged 3 days.
  But 30 hours? 1 hour??

    50 hours would result in a 3 day charge so arguably ok.

  OT How long does the Lounge Club card from Amex Gold usually take to arrive? Been 10 days since I received my Amex Gold. PP with Amex Plat is usually very quick.

    Damn it. Off on holiday next weekend and wanted to use it.

    I wonder if they have a digital card in the app?

      you can use it with the full Lounge Pass number & no physical card – phone up to get your number

  O/T anybody got anything decent planned to kick off Shop Small?

  I’m just getting in 3 or 6 pints in a pub & that’s it for today 🙂

  might get the fish & chips in if my wife is prepared to drive us there

    Moderation Harry…you need to stay sober enough to remember which cards you have used when and where.

      If you have the same shop in 2 locations does that count as one store or two for SS?

      Been out and done 8 transactions this morning – only 4 emails received. My wee card shop has recently changed hands but they still take Amex and are on the SS list. Will need to see if the credits post.

        Note that only pin transactions get the email, contactless do not although will credit fine.

        Hi, a couple of years ago I did this with a store that had a wine shop and then a kitchen utensils place across the road. It only registered once in terms of the email sent and should normally count as just a single shop. I contacted Amex as I did not know the two shops had the same owner and they gave me the other GBP5 credit, would not want to do that across multiple cards though.

    Wine Barrel in Hove is participating, and the proprietor is more than happy to put each bottle of wine through in separate transactions 🙂

    • Liz says:

      We have a nice wine shop over in St Andrews and they have another store in Cupar. I want to buy for hubby and MIL so wondered if it would be classed as the same shop so I can do more transactions. Might not work.

        Different branch is a different store for shop small as long as both are listed on shop small individually. So you use all your cards in each branch and qualify.

        Years ago all Hotel Chocolate branches were on shop small when it was spend £5 get £5 back. Just raided each branch for about £30 of chocolate each time… Those were the days, loved the free money amex shop small!

        Thanks for that – I just checked and it is only showing in St Andrews so that answers my question!

  Off topic, saw a Beemer with the number plate FLY747J on the M4 yesterday heading toward Heathrow. Wondered if it belongs to any HFP reader?

  OT Rocked up to the Centurion Lounge and not booked. There was brunch with Santa for people that booked. They said they would fit us in for 1hr. My boys got to see Santa and present too.

  Staff are very good. Really impressed

    Was in there yesterday and was impressed too. I clogged up the hashtag for lots of free pictures!

      I realised that if I used Instagram it would print two out as I have my Instagram linked to my twitter account 🙂

  Download the app and sign up but can’t see any option of refer-a-friend code that I can put your supplied code -robert.bur1

  • Rob says:

    Go to Promo Code in the menu (click the face) and there is a ‘+’ – click that.
