  OT – re Hilton/Amex offer, I had the 5k MR for spending 250 version. It seems that multiple transactions DO NOT WORK this time – I had one stay costing around 200 quid and another around 80. No email of “You have redeemed Hilton offer” was triggered. Thought might give anyone else using this offer a heads-up.

  • John says:

    Just checking, but was your offer restricted to a list of hotels in Europe and were your stays all at those hotels?

    • Tony says:

      26 Sep26 September 14:44

      Yes, both stays are with properties on the “participating locations” list. Just got off online chat with Amex agent who said that I just need to wait… I am still worried, though.

      • Brian says:

        In my experience, the lack of an email is not an indication of not having triggered the bonus. Wait a few days, as advised.

        +1 recently I haven’t always gotten an email when I should’ve triggered the deal but I’ve always gotten the credit in the end

  Anyone know how long Amex travel booking take to hit the account its been pending 5 days

  • Travel Strong says:

    26 Sep26 September 22:05

    My recent bookings took 5 calendar days to finally move out of pending, then another 2 days for the balance credit from the Amex travel offers to apply itself. The timeline was also identical on 2 different cards.

  Totally O/T – wondering if SPG/Marriott Moments will release tickets in their O2 suite for Take That in May 2019. Was a total car crash this morning trying to get tickets in their pre-sale. Thankfully managed to get tickets after almost 2 hours but would be great to see them twice next year.

  • Mark says:

    you never know for certain but I’d say they probably will but it might be more expensive than usual as its very popular.

    • Rob says:

      26 Sep26 September 17:10

      They released Adele tickets – albeit they went in minutes and I never even saw them – so a fair chance they will. I’m more interested in Paul McCartney in December, would be a shame never to see him once in my life.

      • Tilly says:

        26 Sep26 September 18:36

        I’ll probably miss it then, sounds like you have to be super fast.

        Shouldn’t complain really, lost count of the number of times I’ve seen them since I was 11.

        Better hurry then Rob!

      • Crafty says:

        He’s headlining Glastonbury 2019.

      • Lady London says:

        27 Sep27 September 01:18

        Rob, or Paul McCartney?

• Alex says:

  26 Sep26 September 15:29

  Worth saying bookings are a minimum of 90 days in advance.

  If you take out the Amex platinum can you change who gets the the second priority pass / platinum card and if so how often can you do it without charge

  • Rob says:

    26 Sep26 September 17:11

    I would imagine it is possible, although never heard of anyone doing it. Or pay £170 and get a 2nd supplementary Plat issued.

  • The Original Nick says:

    26 Sep26 September 19:01

    I’ve changed who had the second PP card but that was about 2 years ago or more. I just phoned up and said I was separating from my partner so I wanted to give the card to my Dad which I did. Amex were fine by it. It did then persuade my parents to get the Amex Platinum for themselves about 3 months later so I actually done Amex a favour. Oh, and my partner and I are back together before you ask.

  • Polly says:

    We changed mine to our daughter so she and oh could use it travelling. Worked a treat.

  Whilst BA should cop for losses from their safety breach (remembering it was a criminal act by a 3rd party, of vourse), companies clearly profiteering from that loss should do one.

  • EwanG says:

    26 Sep26 September 16:31

    These criminals identified and exploited a weakness in the BA systems. The ICO will be looking at security policies and controls in place by BA, how the system was compromised and remained undetected for over 2 weeks, and the response to affected clients. All this is covered under GDPR.
    Although £60 in courier fees does seem on the high side, it’s worth bearing in mind that guaranteed 9am next day delivery within the UK from Royal Mail starts at £18.36. I agree with you that companies should not be profiteering from the loss however it’s not unreasonable to cost £60 for sending a card overseas on priority, guaranteed and insured mail, so long as it was justified that it was required that urgently.

  OT: does anyone know how long it takes Expedia to update an HSBC Prem to +gold status?

  Even after logging in and linking through the HSBC portal it’s still showing me as +blue.

  • Rob says:

    26 Sep26 September 17:54

    This benefit is being scrapped, apparently, so even if it happens it won’t be for long.

• KevMc says:

  LL are reporting a significant change to the Marriott Rewards T’s & C’s as of today…Travel packages will no longer be eligible for airline partner conversion bonuses.

  • Alan says:

    26 Sep26 September 19:19

    According to FT – also apparently no refund with new TPs either (previously got 45k) and they’re properly implementing need for MR member to be present for the stay.

    • Simon says:

      27 Sep27 September 00:17

      Alan, do you know if this insistence on the MR member now being present only applies to new TPs or to ANY TPs, old or new? I have one booked in my partner’s name in Japan in Feb ‘19 and, whilst my name has been added to the booking as a second guest and confirmed via email by the hotel (and, for what it might be worth to the hotel management, I’m Platinum Premier Elite), my partner *may* not be able to make the trip due to her work commitments. As such, do I need to panic about being turned away by the hotel if my partner isn’t with me in the end and then being lleft hotel-less the other side of the world? For clarity, I redeemed and attached this TP in April pre–merger.

      (Oh, could I be cheeky and ask for the FT link — thanks, Alan.)
