  Any other good ideas on what to do with a small stash of Emirates miles? My wife has 45,000 of them from a recent trip.

    Might be possible yo redeem on their 5th freedom flight between BKK and HKG if they still operate it and it is any use to you.

      Nice suggestion. Could be.

  • Rob says:

    Arsenal VIP box tickets, should be released soon.

      If he wants to waste them ????

      Very good idea indeed.

    Easyjet flights.

    Check if this is still an option, it was last year

  OT – i have just churned a new Amex Gold Card. This time i didn’t automatically go for the supplementary card due to seeing comments that you could get a bonus 3k-ish membership points if applied for Supp Card at later date.

  Is the bonus automatic or do i have to wait for an email offer or something? Any idea how long this usually takes?

  Many thanks

    I don’t think there’s a bonus for supplementary cards on the gold credit right now. I got the 3k bonus on a supplementary bapp recently but nothing on the gold credit supp.

    • BJ says:

      Also got 3k on BAPP last week. No email invitation received. People have been reporting 5k bonuses for platinum supps for months. I also got one of those back in April without invitation email. I don’t recall people mentioning gold supp bonuses recently but that does not mean they are not available.
      @Si If you need a supp anyway then might as well take your chances and apply. That’s what most of us seem to do. If you get a bonus it hits your account immediately following a successful application IME so you do not need to wonder for a few days if you got it or not.

      I got the 3k bonus on the Gold sup recently. Just apply, its a bit hit and miss but if you get it then its a bonus!

      • Iain says:

        Same, although an invitation popped up offering the deal when I logged in online

      • Chris says:

        Anyone tried this recently with supp cards for SPG?

      • Alex W says:

        15 Aug15 August 14:42

        No SPG supp bonus for me

      • MarkH says:

        15 Aug15 August 20:45

        Was that on the charge card or the credit card?

  • Crafty says:

    15 Aug15 August 07:10

    OT, but related: are PRG charge cards that have been upgraded to Platinum treated as one continuous card for annual referral cap purposes?

  • MarkH says:

    15 Aug15 August 08:13

    I also took a punt and applied for a Gold credit supp on the chance I might get some bonus points (as I had on Plat and BAPP recently) but didn’t get anything.

• Mike says:

  15 Aug15 August 07:09

  Once again, no Amex offer for me.

  • TM says:

    15 Aug15 August 07:12

    Same. Will check my girlfriend’s supp later but not filled with confidence.

• Dave Barron says:

  OT – Apologies for asking a daft question! I just added a supplementary card to my BAPP account for my wife. She’s yet to use it but I was curious – will her transactions appear on my statements or will she receive her own statements and billing cycle?

  • Michael C says:

    15 Aug15 August 07:48

    Ours are one statement divided into two, Dave.

    • Dave Barron says:

      15 Aug15 August 09:16

      Thanks!

  • Genghis says:

    15 Aug15 August 07:50

    Your statements

    • Dave Barron says:

      15 Aug15 August 09:16

      Thanks Ghengis

  • TGLoyalty says:

    They appear on your statement but against supp card holders names.

    Supp holder only sees their transactions on their account.

    • Dave Barron says:

      15 Aug15 August 09:17

      Thanks!

  OT – myself and one child are booked into CE for upcoming flight (Lloyds upgrade voucher) with wife and other child in ET on separate booking (same flight). There’s a chance my wife might have to miss the flight. Any idea what would happen as our child who is booked to travel with her cannot presumably travel alone (she’s a sensible 9 year-old!)? Thanks

  • pauldb says:

    BA used to have a clear policy that would permit them to be on their own in a lower cabin, but that that seemed to disappear with the unaccompanied under-12 service. Personally I would ask to be downgrade to ET at check-in, with a slight hope they prefer to move the 9yo the other way.

  There seems to be a lack of communication at the Virgin/Delta bar. The place is great fun for a few beers, but we tried to join the quiz on Monday having been told around 1pm that we didn’t need to book and when we arrived an hour early we found that both Monday’s and Wednesday’s quizzes were fully booked. Couldn’t find any info about this on the website either.

  • Michael Jennings says:

    I went there for a couple of beers with friends last night. It was a very nice place for a few beers, and I souvenired a nice set of Virgin Atlantic coasters in a variety of colours, We asked a staff member about the quiz, and he told us it was completely signed up for the rest of the week.

  Does anyone know what Amex card the Radisson cash back is applicable to?

  • TheThunderer says:

    15 Aug15 August 08:42

    Chris, I have it on my supplemental BA Amex (blue one). It is not on my own name black BAPP.

  • Rob says:

    15 Aug15 August 08:57

    On my BAPP.

  • Wally1976 says:

    15 Aug15 August 08:58

    I have it on platinum charge card

• Andrew (@andrewseftel) says:

  Is the pub itself worth stopping at? It’s only a short walk from my wife’s office, but it’s in the wrong direction for my evening commute.

  • Rob says:

    15 Aug15 August 08:54

    If you want to try US craft beers you’ve never tasted before, yes. As a pub experience, not necessarily.

  • Alex Sm says:

    15 Aug15 August 10:05

    If it’s is SHORT walk, why not?

    • Andrew (@andrewseftel) says:

      15 Aug15 August 10:51

      It’s not a short walk for me! 🙂
