  I have just booked my first upper class virgin flight, the cabin is practically empty so I can have any seat I want – I have selected 1K – anybody any other suggestions on which seat to pick?

  • Louise says:

    5 Dec5 December 12:36

    depends on aircraft, some seats face the back of the middle row. Check out advice on vflyer forum

  • Mr Dee says:

    Further at the back will be closer to the bar area where people sometimes like to hang out and closer to the toilets.

  O/T (and apologies if I’ve missed this being mentioned before) but my BAPP is showing 18k Avios for referrals. Always thought it was 9k which is what I got for a couple in mid November.

  Also saying I can earn an additional 90k on top of the existing cap until 31/01/19.

  • Mark2 says:

    5 Dec5 December 13:23

    mine is till showing 9,000.
    Do you mean referring BAPP from Platinum?

    • MattyS says:

      5 Dec5 December 13:32

      No, it’s referrals from my BAPP card. Specifically states 18,000 Avios, whereas on the separate screen referrals from my Plat says 18,000 MR. The last referral points I got from BAPP less than three weeks ago got me 9k.

      • SimonW says:

        5 Dec5 December 14:47

        Mine still says 9k per referral. But does say i can earn an additional 90k on top of the existing cap between 1/11/18 and 31/1/19….. havent seen that before.

  OT
  re ShopSmall and emails
  This morning I used a number of cards at a shop; all went through the same till.
  I started using the PIN but changed to contactless. I have received emails for the purchases using PIN but not the others. Also another shop which uses a less common card handling company does not trigger emails.

  My extensive experience over a number of years is that receipt of emails and of statement credits are unconnected.

  • Mark2 says:

    5 Dec5 December 15:04

    since I wrote this three credits have posted for purchases which did not trigger email.

• Ben says:

  O/T just been charged £10 for withdrawing £200 on my curve, with virgin card underlying.

  • Rich says:

    5 Dec5 December 14:55

    When was the transaction, and did the charge show up on your recent transactions, or only when your statement was produced?

    Took cash out on 28/11 and it’s showing as a purchase. Took cash out today (still pending, obviously) too.

    • Ben says:

      5 Dec5 December 15:43

      Online, recent transactions. Shows as cash advance

      • Ben says:

        5 Dec5 December 15:44

        Withdrew cash on Monday!

  • Anna says:

    5 Dec5 December 15:00

    £10! Is that the usual Virgin Ts and Cs?

    • paulm says:

      5 Dec5 December 16:14

      Yeah 5% of transaction

  • Genghis says:

    5 Dec5 December 15:06

    VM are clamping down on ¨cash like¨ transactions

    • lev441 says:

      5 Dec5 December 16:35

      Don’t like the sound of that… Is that from personal experience Genghis?

    • Simon says:

      5 Dec5 December 17:08

      are business services also treated this way?

  • Louise says:

    5 Dec5 December 15:28

    Interesting. My statement issued on 3rd Dec and no charges, took this months £200 our yesterday, still pending

  • Rob says:

    5 Dec5 December 17:28

    Thanks, will update our notes.

  • Louise says:

    6 Dec6 December 06:34

    My cash I took out on 4th no longer pending. No sign of a charge yet

• Anna says:

  5 Dec5 December 15:24

  OT, £10 off GAP offer. I placed 2 orders on 2 cards on the same day but only 1 lot of £10 has posted. I am assuming this is because the 2nd order appears to have been charged in 2 transactions by GAP, both under £30, which is annoying! Is it worth appealing to Amex via chat?

  • Anna says:

    5 Dec5 December 15:26

    Incidentally, I appealed via chat re my never-appearing 500 bonus avios recently (3rd time) and they have finally added them manually.

    • Roger says:

      5 Dec5 December 19:55

      Same here.

      Will contact Amex if the offer does not post.
      My Oder was split up due to GAP deciding to use different delivery company

  • Alan says:

    5 Dec5 December 23:54

    Absolutely worth appealing, esp when you made it in one order and they’ve just split the payments.

  OT, Looking to use a 241 BA voucher to Bangkok. Anyone know if this is hard redemption to find even at 355days out?

  • Anna says:

    5 Dec5 December 16:01

    Probably depends on when you want to go, though I think it is a popular one, both as a destination and as a connecting airport for onward flights to Australia etc.

  • Mark2 says:

    5 Dec5 December 17:08

    you can monitor it on BA Redemption Finder

  • PointsChaser says:

    5 Dec5 December 18:06

    From my experience if you want to fly Dec – Mar, this is a difficult redemption. If you do a rewards availability search on the BA site and do a full year search for 2 seats, you will see that seats for the good weather months in Thailand are scarce.

    I got my family all to BKK and back with Avios & 2-4-1 in club. Early Aug out Early Sept back. We actually spent most of our time in central Vietnam where the weather was great..

  OT: My Heathrow Rewards bonus points have posted for 2 Heathrow Express transactions I made on Sunday.

  • Rob says:

    5 Dec5 December 17:25

    Great, I thought they would post the bonus later but clearly not.
