  Oh no, more drones!

    Assuming there actually are any – the last Gatwick saga seemed to involve lots of confusion as to whether there were actually drones or folks were seeing the police drones that had been sent up!

  presumably as this says “by invitation only” the invitation has to come from amazon or amex, and not this site 😉

  OT, Just canceled my BA card via the chat and i got this message:

  If you have earned a British Airways Companion Voucher, please be aware that Companion Voucher bookings must be made using the British Airways Card they were earned with. This is set in the Terms and Conditions on the Companion Voucher. Cancelling this Account may mean you are unable to redeem your Companion Voucher.

    I don’t see how the BA payment system can know which card corresponds to your companion voucher.

      Indeed – restricting to Amex I can understand (based on BIN), but can’t see them linking things up that comprehensively.

      It would be very simple.
      I expect that when Amex send details of the newly earned voucher they already include the card number. When you pay BA will just put the number on the form with no facility to change it. Simples.

    I didn’t cancel my card before using my companion voucher but I did downgrade to the free blue card a couple of months before and paid the fees for the booking with another Amex card that wasn’t even mine (wanted to put some spend through to hit a bonus on my partner’s card, it worked fine!). As far as I know they can’t take it away if you cancel the card completely, and you can pay with ANY Amex card, as much as they will tell you otherwise!

    • GRIMZ says:

      Yes i agree but i was surprised they state that it is in the terms and conditions.

      • Mark2 says:

        8 Jan8 January 21:59

        perhaps changes are in progress?

    They’ve always said this. It’s not the case. Ignore and reset the clock becuase any amex will do in anyones names.

    The voucher is valid for two and I could lose my card tomorrow and be issued with a new card I don’t think amex is updating them with card numbers every time this happens.

  Cheers Rob. Just booked ARN-SIN return for £1,282.80 via AmEx Travel, and stacked it with my “Spend £1,000 and get £400 rebate! offer.

  So 560 TPs for £882.80 is not bad at all, and just over a third of the way back to Gold.

  Now to go and book another round on using the wife’s same travel offer!
