  I cancelled my SPG Amex a couple of months ago and had a residual amount of points in the acct. They did, however, transfer across at the normal time of the month post cancellation. Others have reported issues with points not posting from cancelled cards. As a rule, I only cancel accounts once I have all points safely in the relevant acct.

  My experience in the last few days is that IHG will not honour this offer. I booked activities with them from the same landing page. $50 spend to trigger 3,000 points. 6 weeks on nothing on my account and three emails directing me to Viator who know nothing of the promotion of course…

  I wouldn’t trust that you can get them to pay out. Sent them my booking plus the terms and conditions and just got ridiculous replies.

  O/T. Just had a box flash up on my Plat card offering 5000 to add a supplementary card holder, dissapeared as soon as it flashed up. No mention of it when I click add a supplementary card holder, will I still get the MR points as I can’t now see the offe4 anywhere

    yeah it usually get it for the first supper card even if not advertised. YMMV

    I got an email about it… Even though I had already added Mrs K and gained the 5k points.
    Hoped to get a second lot but read the t&c’s and it specifically said only first supplementary card in total.

  O/T interesting development on the IB 90K front – somebody who got denied the 90K for inconsistencies appealed it and got them awarded after all.

  HT FT: ” I made :
  – harassment on social media (public and DM)
  – 3 emails per day to the crappy clasico
  – A email to 20 people (management / media / investors) at Iberia and owner.
  Received the point 1 hour after the email to management. Don’t know if it’s coincidence but I had received the “inconsistencies” email before but they sent an email with :
  “We have accrual 90.000 Avios in your account after analyse your request. Our apologise for the delay”
  I think the strategy with such people is : don’t give up and make their life complicated. Spanish culture : you have to talk loudly for people to hear you and take in consideration your claim. “

    They’re also saying the IB site is a mess – which is true if you’re on the wrong bit – but I was able to book 2x returns today for my son & me – out to place in the sun in Biz (drinkies in order!), home in economy (driving awaits so no drinkies). All very easy to book & a smooth reward flights process.

  O/T but just took the punt and bought a Marriott TP, I’d never get enough to buy one under the new scheme so I just have to hope that I don’t get screwed over in August when they the finally decide what happens with the unused certificates. My current feeling based on what people have said on blogs is that they’ll refund the category points x6 nights so my cat 6 will give me 180k marriott points, while this isn’t ideal its not the worst thing in the world as I’ll have converted 120 marriott points into 120 avois, if my thinking is correct. Anyone have any insight yet on this?

  OT: Letter just arrived from Lloyds with updated terms applied to my Lloyds Avios card. No changes to the rewards package (which was what I was expecting when I opened it), mostly just run of the mill tightening of the financial terms.

  It does though allow them to further change the terms and conditions within 30 days rather than 60 as I believe it is currently, though that doesn’t take effect until the 21st September.

  OT: Iberia avios reward booking on LEVEL: Is it possible to just cancel the inbound leg of a journey (for a fee), or does Iberia require to cancel the whole booking? Would the avios be refunded instantly?

    Sorry, but had I been someone with the authority to order it, I would have done it. I just hate all these Engerland flags everywhere. Come on Croatia!!

      I know nothing about sport, but why did we not enter a team representing the whole country like the others?

      Something like founder’s privileges. We invented football – the most popular sport in the world, the rest of the world are even better at it than us these days ho ho – and football’s success inspired so much other sport, rugby, cricket, baseball, Yank football etc.

      Anyway, the Brits invented football so we can have 4 teams.

      And all that sport has headed off conflict and death.

      Nations put their all behind their national sports team and hence avoid real wars, which were often started for very stupid reasons.

      A way to get even with, beat or lose against your hated enemy – then everybody gets on with their lives the next day.

      @Russell. Should the three Lionels be fortunate enough to get past some small Balkans nation more famous for skinny dipping than football then I’m sure you will find the Auld Alliance is alive and well.
