  OT:
  The Wyndham stay twice for 15K points is back (new members only though). For stays before mid February 2019.

  (Or at least is showing on their wbesite)

  Was worth at least £150 to me last year

    Have you got a link? Can’t see it on the website

  O/T – has anyone had a issues with Curve being declined when paying in store recently? Used it in that restaurant many times before but was declined lastnight. Nothing wrong with underlying card (Hilton Visa) as used that to pay bill without Curve.

  • Doug M says:

    More declines than any other card I’ve ever had, but it then just seems to reset and work again. Certainly not a card to be relied on, fine if you have alternatives with you. On occasion I’ve had a Curve decline followed by acceptance of the underlying card.

    I had it do that at a BP garage in-store by LGW. Completely dead, either contactless or Chip & PIN. Worked fine the next day and onwards.

    Thanks both. Glad to hear it’s not just me but it’s rather inconvenient. Will definitely make sure I have other card options in my purse. Hope it works on my two trips abroad before Christmas, would like to make use of the 0% fx.

  Bits – Nectar

  Just flashed up on my Nectar App that points can be exchanged for a £10, £20 or £50 voucher between today (29th October) to 4th November online and from 5th November instore. Spend the voucher before 18th November.

    as vague as that? lol

    Which stores? How many points? Is it 1p/ point by any chance? Which would be same as Sainsbury double-up.

  Wish I had that Amex offer. Across 2 main cards and 2 supplementary, it’s not offered.

  OT: I got a 25GBP off code for Swiss at the London Ski Festival: swissukski25

  UK to GVA/ZRH
  Book by 31/1/19
  Travel by 31/3/19

  Tested and working, random LHR-GVA return with luggage in Feb was GBP74 with voucher

  Targeted offer, but might be worth checking your emails to see if you got a radisson offer of 15,000 bonus points for one stay before 28 December.
  I only signed up to the scheme as you get gold status from amex plat, but with amex mr conversion 1:3, and with some rooms in good locations like Mauritius/ Malta only costing 50/44000 points might be a good offer if you have it

  “Register to earn a one time bonus of 15,000 points when you book and stay by December 28, 2018. Whether you’re on vacation exploring a new and exciting destination or traveling for business this exclusive one time bonus offer is available just for you!**”

  Do you know if this will work on iPhone’s / does Harrods sell them in store.

  I just signed up – is this 10% specific to higher tier members or open to all? Thanks

  • Louise says:

    29 Oct29 October 20:43

    Normally open to all harrods rewards members ( free to join)
    Any valid across whole store

    • Rob says:

      30 Oct30 October 04:53

      Valid online too. Obviously gift cards are not reduced by 10%. Some people also opt out, eg Louis Vuitton. Can’t remember if they include iPhones or not, which is a bit stupid of me as I bought my last two in Harrods ….

  OT: I am trying to explore ways to use a family member’s MR points (~30k) for myself (I built up the spend). I know I have option of BA & Emirates through pooling, is there anything else, hotel or airlines? Thanks

  • John says:

    Hilton allows free transfers (which they call pooling) but best not to do it on a brand new account

  • Rob says:

    30 Oct30 October 04:52

    All 3 hotel partners let you transfer or pool points for free so no problem there. BA is quite rare in offering family accounts unfortunately.

      Thanks guys

        For the hotel partners, that person doesn’t need to come to the booking right? I can go myself right? Thanks
