  OT: Having issues adding a supplementary card on my Gold Amex online. Tried yesterday too. It keeps giving the message, “Please call the number on the back of your Card to add a supplementary user to your Card account.” If I call and request one or request one via chat, will I still get the 3,000MR points? Tried ordering supplementary on my partner’s platinum log-in and there were no issues.

    Ask them to give you the points when you call; if they don’t then complain about it not working online

      Thanks. The 3,000 MR are not advertised as a promotion for all. I could try but I have a feeling they will say I don’t actually have that offer on my account.

    This is the Gold Amex credit card rather than old charge card, I assume?

    If yes, can any HPFers provide any recent evidence/confirmation that the new Gold credit card iteration actually pays out 3,000 MR for adding 1 x supplementary card?

    I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, but had been waiting to hear if any HFPers had had any success in getting these 3,000 points?

  “At the time of writing the highest bid is 550,000 Hilton Honors points. OK, that sounds like a lot – it is a lot – but you would only get £1,800 of free hotel rooms for that.”

  That also roughly equates to a week in the Maldives at the Conrad Rangali. 🙂

  Ok, found the UK number(44-20-7012-7312) so will try once they are open.

  This is a short term trial, only shown to a handful of customers. Avios asked me not to cover it because it would upset all of the NatWest and BOS customers who don’t have it. It is going away soon.

    Ah, better transfer some across soon then before it goes away! Will hold off the credit card application to see what happens in the longer-term!

    I did well out of the Morrision’s one last time (benefits of moving back north). Amazon gift cards or Morrision’s gift cards that are then used for petrol outside.

    It would be a return to old habits. I used to have a NatWest Visa card until they stopped awarding Air Miles. This was about the time that Sainsbury’s shopping accrued Air Miles.

  I’ve been fortunate to be invited by Lotus to the Silverstone GP a few years ago. Unforgettable experience being in their pit garage during qualifying standing next to Sir Jackie Stewart. Food and drink on tap above the pits in their hospitality suite. I would put a price of around £4-5k for that excluding transport. You can buy hospitality for around £3k on race day with the Paddock club in a similar location but it’s not the same. Thankfully they invited us back for the race on Sunday too as others had dropped out 🙂

  In the end, we never did sponsor them

  Worth mentioning that the earnings rates are personalised and there are a few travel related options and offers. So when logged out, P and O ferries is 1%, whereas when I’m logged in I get 5% back on all P and O spend. Waitrose is 6%; pretty significant if you shop there every week!

  • Roger1* says:

    28 May28 May 16:32

    That would be a head-turner for Waitrose shoppers, uncertain whether their VFC miles are ever going to post.

  Here’s a thought. Wonder what is better 2% on council tax or 1.5 Avios if you put it on your Amex? Let’s say council tax is £150, that would be £3 back. That would be 225 avois. Guess it depends on how and what you value your Avios for.

  • Jon says:

    27 May27 May 09:53

    £1.33/Av? Sure you can probably redeem for more but I’m taking cash (accepted everywhere; useful even in small increments) every time.

  • Genghis says:

    I always pay on Amex but for hitting sign ups so >2% back and save on card fees as can do a big chunk over a short period

• Will says:

  unless you have a specific high spend that can’t go on amex you’re far better off with either a BAPP or SPG amex to collect avios via a credit card.
