  Initially the groupon site showed all packages as unavailable. After rebooting the pc – they all showed as available. Bought a 2000 one and am now having the issues many have previously had (although I have never had – I try to buy the 2000 pack every time it comes out) getting the voucher to convert. Have tried 4 different devices and 3 different browsers – no luck so far. Will try again in a day or so.

  I did the Europcar from Glasgow airport to Birmingham Airport one way for £1. I couldn’t believe it when I got a 1.2lr mini . It was a long and expensive petrol journey.

  However I was surprised I got 250 le Accor points credited to my account for my one day hire.

    How far in advance did you book Mark please?
    I can only see seven days ahead after a long wait.

    • Mark says:

      It was within 7 days I booked it was a last minute thing with a change of flight. You are right about the long wait thought it takes ages to load.

  Can somebody help me with this? How do I enrol the platinum supplementary card member for the hotel statuses? I remember that on the old amex site it was quite straightforward, but on the new one I completely fail to see any options of doing this (spg, primarily).

  Thanks!

    Figured it out – apparently one need to call the platinum benefit hotline.

      or https://www.americanexpress.com/uk/benefits/the-platinum-card/

        Thanks Mark, that’s what I used for my own (main) card, but it doesnt allow me to do the same for the supplementary card, as far as i can tell.

  Apologies for posting non related stuff. Looking for some help here. If one cancels the AMEX Platinum charge card, how soon after that does the free Priority Pass gets cancelled? Not sure how it works, does PP taps into a database every time you access a lounge?

    Immediately.

  Is this possible (and apologies if a silly question)?

  Both my parents have their own Amex Gold accounts – they have triggered the bonus and have the points and want to close these (I can now gift them a gold card each from my Platinum). Can they transfer the points to an account where they are supplementary card holders i.e. my BAPP account?

  If not I suppose they will need to transfer to BA Exec Club before closing.

    I do not believe that anyone can transfer points to another person’s account, although hope I am wrong.
    May I suggest that before they close the accounts they use https://www.americanexpress.com/uk/benefits/the-platinum-card/ to upgrade to Platinum getting 20,000 MR points each and grab hotel status etc. before cancelling for a pro rata refund if the charge appears.

      sorry wrong link, should be https://www.americanexpress.com/uk/content/platinum-charge/upgrade/

        Did not realise Amex still offered an upgrade deal from gold to platinum. This is great as I was planning on upgrading as not doing so many nights in hotels with my new job but still wanted to take advantage of the hotel statuses when I went away. Thanks for sharing

  • Rob says:

    20 Jan20 January 19:22

    No, sorry

    It’s a bit tangential to what you’re asking but I’ve had 100% success transferring points from my wife’s and parents’ MR accounts to my own SQ account, if that’s of any use to you (same surname, different addresses). No harm in trying to pair their MR account with your SQ account or even your BAEC.

  OT but Accor related. Waited for the private sale to start which it did earlier this week. Have three hotel bookings that I need to make but what a miserable sale, no discounts whatsoever. Always managed to get some half sensible discounts in years gone by. I’m going to book anyway as we happen to like the hotels. Thanks for nothing, Accor.

  • Nick says:

    20 Jan20 January 23:22

    Are you serious? Complaining because Accor won’t discount something you’ve just said you’ll buy regardless? Do you have any idea how business (and marketing) works?!

    • Delbert says:

      21 Jan21 January 09:01

      I now know how Accor marketing works, don’t I? Advertise a sale that’s not actually a sale.

      As I said, in previous years there were genuine discounts in the same hotels that I booked last night but not this year. So rather a pointless exercise advertising a sale in the first place.

  OT: if I, as a holder of an SPG Amex, refer someone for Amex Nectar card, will I get 5000 points for referring?

  OT, just in case anyone is interested given the recent Qatar sale, the Marriott Marquis City Center Doha Hotel (Cat 4) is on the point saver’s list reduced from 20,000 points to 15,000.
