  OT. AMEX Paypal offer. Wife used her AMEX card to buy something on Paypal at the end of October. Refund still not showing.

  I used mine last week and that’s not showing either. Neither of us received the “Congratulations on using your offer” email.

  Anyone having any joy with this particular offer?

    I used mine on 23rd and still no email or indicator on the account other than the original transaction

  • Simon says:

    no joy here either.

  • Louise says:

    No my paypal spends haven’t triggered here either

      Sorry for off-topic, but can you top up your Paypal account and still earn the £5 bonus, instead of paying a different company using Paypal payment method? Seems like BA will not accept the Amex card that I have this offer saved on, if I want to use Paypal to pay for the taxes on an Avios redemption flight. Anyone have any advice?

  • Froggee says:

    I had joy and the saving has even posted. Nothing the first time I used it but I got an immediate email the second time. So at best buggy and at worst broken.

    OK thanks everyone. I received an email this morning saying “Don’t forget to use your Paypal offer”!

    I guess this is one I’m going to need to chase

      I received a similar email but then received the cash – their offers system doesn’t seem to be working as smoothly as it used to.

  Thanks for this AJ- didn’t think about the oyster card opportunity. Just checking on the Amex shop small map, I’ve found a few asian places (Hop vietnamese, K10) near Moorgate that I pop into on there, so happy with that!

  If you make a points booking on melia and then later cancel it, do you get the points back? I wouldve thought so, but I cant remember if I’d seen something that said if you cancel a points booking you lose the points?

  • Ed says:

    Also be interested to hear if refunded whether Melia IT is still able to track how they were earned?

  • marcw says:

    It depends on the booking. During the booking process it should say whether it is refundable or not.

  Raffles – Iberia offering 50% bonus – can buy max 200K + 100K for EUR3601

  = GBP3207 = 1.07p/ Avios

  Not to bad – & excellent if you want a nice big stash, fast, @ little more than 1p

  • Shoestring says:

    30 Nov30 November 18:48

    *too

    Actually the pricing is quite fair with the higher amounts, so 150K Avios is also 1.07p/ point

  OT Bit: Anybody got any thought on when BA new year peak dates will end in January 2020…Sunday 5th or 12th? I need to book outward flight by 13 December 19 to get get off peak but I need to guesstimate which date will get me a month away with an off peak return flight.

  • Shoestring says:

    30 Nov30 November 19:08

    It’s back to state school on Monday 6th January 2020. So BA will go off-peak somewhere around 7th, 8th January. Definitely not as late as the 12th.

    • Shoestring says:

      30 Nov30 November 19:11

      6th, 7th I should have said.

      Definitely peak for 5th Jan though

        Thanks for this Harry, inclined to trust your judgment on this as I know you keep a close eye on T-355 and school vacations. My dilemna is do I play it safe and fly on FRIDAY 13 December to get an off peak return a month later or do I do the risky thing and fly December 11…hold on a minute 🙂

  OT: Curve linked to HSBC and IHG cards both got declined at FX physical store. Is that normal? Was charging £103 to it.

  • Memesweeper says:

    1 Dec1 December 09:11

    Yes. I’ve given up trying to buy foreign cash with Curve, it just doesn’t work.
