  OT: I’ve just realised that 97,500 IHG points have been taken from my Rewards Club account.
  Someone has hacked in (I believe) & ordered £125 worth of Argos vouchers.

  Yes I do have AwardWallet & yes I think I got a notification of the points balance dropping, but I’d happened at the same time to have been looking at a variety of possible redemptions and genuinely thought I’d booked something when I saw the notification.
  Today I went onto the IHG app & then website to see exactly what has gone on. Under account activity all it listed was the value of points going out, but didn’t say what for which raised my concern further.
  I’ve been in touch with IHG via Twitter as am at work & can’t make personal calls. They’ve frozen my old account, set up a new account & we’ve taken other steps to create a firebreak.
  I’m now waiting contact from their fraud department to find out what’s happened & most importantly to me if I’ll get the points back.

  So my lesson from this to pass on is to always check your actual account when you get an AwardWallet notification, just to triple check everything is as it should be.

    My IHG rewards club account was hacked last week, was meant to post on here.

    I got an email saying my account details had been changed. The problem is they only ask for a 4 digit PIN as a password to log in – not secure at all.

    Luckily got the points re-instated, but had to call twice.

  Just downgraded from Plat to gold and almost spend 2k. The tracker is still showing I will earn the sign up bonus. This a mistake I presume? Thanks

    Would be nice if did.

    Out of curiosity, why did you downgrade instead of just cancelling?

      Well yes, technically I cancelled plat and then re applied for gold. Wanted a card to keep MR account open.

  For a Hilton stay last May (booked early March last year), I received the Avios beginning of January 2018…

  O/T

  Virgin Trains East Coast – if travelling with an under-5yr old child, I understand they go free (albeit without a seat reservation) however, do they get the free food onboard?

  Thanks

  On the BE luggage allowances:

  If you redeem on Avios.com and your flight is BE or BA coded, then you get 23kg for free
  If you redeem on BA.com and your flight is BA coded, you get 23kg for free
  If you redeem on BA.com and your flight is BE coded, you get NO CHECKED ALLOWANCE

  This caught be out recently but ti be fair to BA it is very clearly stated on their website…
