  O/T Is there still a bonus for adding a supplementary card holder on an Amex Gold Charge Card received before the change to Credit Version?

  • Nick_C says:

    Have a look at your account, using both the app and a browser. My offer showed in the app as what looked like an advert, but I don;t think I saw it in the browser.

    The Companion Gold Credit Card is still available which gives an easy 5000 points if you don;t already have it. It’s meant to be targeted apparently, but the web page doesn;t say it is targeted and mine paid the bonus. https://www.americanexpress.com/uk/content/gold-companion/#GoldCreditCardbenefits

  Totally OT, but has anyone else noticed anything odd with Curve linked to the Lloyds Mastercard?

  My transactions have gone through with the merchant, show on Curve, show as pending on my Lloyds CC AC, and then disappear!

  Oldest one is from 26 July. Six transactions have disappeared and the amounts that were pending have been released back to available credit.

  • Lister says:

    Yes. I have £500 worth of transcactions which have dropped (reversed) off Mastercard (not Lloyds) but still showing on Curve App. Looking at their twitter feed has happened to a few others too. Going to messaged them today as one was my council tax payment and don’t want the hassle of been chased for that.

    I have had the same issue using IHG via Curve – I have about £2000 of transactions currently ‘pending’ going back as far as 30th July. I will contact them and let you know what the result is.

  • Lynx says:

    I have my IHG card linked with Curve, and one transaction has disappeared from that, although a subsequent transaction has appeared. Whilst it would be nice if it is “lost” permanently I’m expecting it to appear again at some point. I just hope they don’t try to reclaim the payment from the recipient, as that would just mean extra hassle.
    I will try to use my LBG Avios MC through Curve this week and will report if there are any anomalies.

    I have recently used my (debit) Curve card for a number of transactions through IHG, Lloyds and Virgin and they have all posted to the card accounts as per normal.

      Different issue. My Curve was cloned at the weekend. It is still in my wallet. I wonder how they do it. It was a Curve transaction notification that flagged it up.

      • Rob says:

        Mine was cloned in Germany recently. I get a feeling that, as it was sitting around our hotel room much of the time, a member of staff may have done it. The only other two places it was used – apart from ticket machines and ATMs – was in two cafes but they were in different albeit nearby towns.

        We’re not talking criminal mastermind here. The person did four Dominos home delivery orders and downloaded 6 Xbox items.

    We have 3 transactions from my hubby’s Curve card linked to our IHG card where transactions show on his app and we got email notifications but they have never appeared on IHG transactions list – going back to 26/7. All the ones done on my Curve card and linked to the same IHG card have appeared ok.

  How do you know BA “refuse” to pay for it?

  • Rob says:

    7 Aug7 August 12:15

    What’s the alternative answer, given that this line is a pure money grab by the airport? That they decided to keep it uber-exclusive by only inviting better-dressed SWISS short-haul passengers?!

  O/T If you have status with a hotel chain e.g. Hilton do you still get any of the benefits if you booked the room through a site such as hotels.com. I.e. would you get late check-out, room upgrades etc. If you get the status through amex plat to me the hotels.com reward nights might be more valauble than booking direct with Hilton.

  • Genghis says:

    7 Aug7 August 12:31

    Not officially with Hilton, but you might get get lucky. Marriott currently give status benefits on third party bookings but I think nothing has yet been confirmed in the new scheme? Also Shangri-La.

  • Rob says:

    7 Aug7 August 15:52

    No, and Hilton has specifically made rule changes in recent years to make this clear.

  • KevMc says:

    7 Aug7 August 16:09

    Hilton don’t officially.

    However, I have had luck emailing/calling them after booking and asking them to add my HH number to the booking ‘so that I can see the stay in my Hilton app to make it easier’ – did this for a stay at the Waldorf in Shanghai back in May and got all Diamond benefits including breakfast and an upgrade to a huge suite. Only thing I didn’t get was the Hilton points (which I definitely wasn’t expecting anyway).

    Not sure if this will be hotel-specific, but nothing ventured = nothing gained

    • H says:

      Same here – got breakfast at the Conrad New York but no points

  BA don’t even pay for fast track at Newcastle nevermind Nice!

• Kevin H says:

  7 Aug7 August 13:58

  If the FT link above is correct, it’s at almost 60% of European airports where BA refuses to pay for fast-track security. Incredible!

  Glad the new ‘save details’ option is here on the desktop version, Rob – could you change it though so that the the save details box is pre-ticked if you’ve already agreed? Otherwise I’ve found it works the first time you submit a comment (as the name/email are prefilled), but if you don’t tick the box again it then forgets them again! Given folk have already consented couldn’t it be pre-ticked for those that have agreed to save the details and left unticked for new users or those that have unticked it before? On the plus side tab from comments also now puts you into the name box rather than back to the start of the page 😉 Just need mobile comments to save details and email alerts to return and we’ll be fully back up and running again 😀

    A very demanding bunch, these HFP readers 🙂

    • Delbert says:

      The ability to edit a post would also come in handy.

      • Rob says:

        7 Aug7 August 21:27

        That won’t be happening!

      • Alex Sm says:

        8 Aug8 August 08:48

        Yes, this is very much needed! To avoid occasional duplicates or typos

      • James says:

        10 Aug10 August 13:55

        Nah, it opens up a whole world of crap.

  • Rob says:

    7 Aug7 August 15:50

    Hmmm …. interesting. Will take a look.

• Mr Dee says:

  Good about the comments, my hand started to hurt from retyping so much

  • Mark2 says:

    7 Aug7 August 15:37

    my browser has always remembered the details.

    • Rob says:

      7 Aug7 August 15:48

      As has mine, so I was never sure why others were not, but hopefully now fixed for everyone.
