  OT. re Marriott travel cert.
  Anyone used the travel cert since Aug 18 mine is still showing as a cat 6 in my account, thought it may have re issued as a cat 1-4

  • Roger says:

    Same here and with current IT shenanigans, reluctant to even contact.
    I have two certificates to use.

  • Alan says:

    They don’t autoconvert, however when you call them they can’t use the old cert and have to convert to a new one. I had an Old Cat 6 that for 30k extra they’ve converted to a New Cat 5 (otherwise would only have been Cat 1-4). Unfortunately SPG properties not yet available to book, hopefully will be by 20th Sept.

      Can you call and upgrade the old package to a new higher category?

  Does anybody know how long it usually takes Amex to process application for a *supplementary* Plat card?

  OT,

  BA companion voucher related. A friend has a voucher expiring today! So I said why not book a reward saver for anywhere for say 10 months in advance, and when you have the points/notion of where you want to go then call up and change to the class and destination that you want, obviously with fees but will save the voucher.

  Am I missing something or is this feasible?

  • Roger says:

    16 Sep16 September 12:11

    I think for 241 the outbound trip must commence before the expiry of the voucher.

  • Lady London says:

    16 Sep16 September 12:16

    Not sure but think I recall something about only being able to change destination to within the same “zone”? This may not apply here of course.

  • Alan says:

    16 Sep16 September 16:04

    That would work for Lloyds (where you just have to book before expiry) but for BA 241 you have to have flown outbound sector before expiry.

  Amex Domino’s £5 off £20 still going strong – just tucking into 2x Large Half & Half pizzas and a Tandoori wrap, not too bad for £15 🙂

  • Roger says:

    Wish If Pizza were as good as Papa Johns

  Why don’t we have these Groupon offers on Avios in the UK?

  • swhostring says:

    16 Sep16 September 13:33

    That’s down to Avios loyalty prog mgt in each respective country. I guess the team that run Spain are doing it to increase usage of Avios & adoption of the loyalty scheme by more people in Spain. Maybe there is also some kind of deal with Iberia?

    Probably the UK Avios team see no particular need for that. Although you can imagine them magicking up new Avios out of thin air ie printing money, in reality it won’t work like that. There will be an internal cost associated with supplying new Avios for the Groupon deal. In effect, the Groupon Spain Avios will be being supplied below ‘cost’ as a marketing investment.

    The UK team sees no need to bear that cost, as the Avios scheme is already pretty widely adopted here.

      Hopefully the Irish version returns. That is far easier to handle.

  OT: When do LATAM release their seats for Avios redemption? Today is 16/9/18, I can see availability till 30/6/19. T-287 sounds weird – so do they release in batches?

  O/T

  I recall seeing someone a year or two ago post the website they use for cheap cruises. Can anyone recall or recommend?

  Looking to book a cruise on the Fjords for my parents for their 35th wedding anniversary.

  Thanks in advance

    Take a few risks in life 🙂

    It’s cruise.com

  • Crafty says:

    16 Sep16 September 23:22

    Cruise.co.uk will sort you out, they have the best deals and you also get assigned one named consultant who becomes your account manager and handles the whole thing end to end. You won’t get passed off to a second line support team after booking like with the other OTAs.

  OT: Current Amex MR 40% bonus Avios. Is this account/country related? I’ve just tried to convert points over but offered 1:1 rather than 1:14 conversion.

  • KevMc says:

    US Amex accounts only

  • N says:

    16 Sep16 September 13:26

    These are usually US only?

  • Alan says:

    16 Sep16 September 15:55

    Yes, you presumably read it on a US blog – they get these offers all the time, not had them in years here.
