American Express has launched a cashback deal with Eurowings

Eurowings is the Lufthansa-owned low cost carrier which now flies all of Lufthansa’s UK flights which do not go to its Frankfurt or Munich hubs – Berlin, Hamburg etc.

If your account is targeted and you register (see your online statement page) you will get £20 back on a £100 Eurowings transaction.

You need to make your booking by 19th March.

The Eurowings website is here.

    O/T Following-on from Rob’s recent Wyndam status-match article, I did my Wyndham status match from IHG Spire Elite at the end of Dec and have just cross-matched to Caesar’s Total Rewards to get Platinum status until Jan 2020 (no resort fee’s, $100 dining credit, 2 x free tickets to certain shows each month, priority lanes, free upgrades, free valet parking, comp rooms etc…and also free 4 night stay at Atlantic Bahamas (just pay resort fees).

    Have a Vegas trip booked for Feb so will report-back how much value I squeezed out of this!

    Btw, link to match your status is here:

    • Rob mc says:

      Mentioned yesterday but I think you may have to match again after 31st January as you will drop back down.. status seems to go 31st Jan to 31st Jan regardless when you hit.. hopefully it will last til next year but I emailed and asked and they said this year.

      • Mikee says:

        Thought the same ref the date but checked some Flyertalk forum posts and they were saying status matching in Jan gave you a whole year which is what I have…Diamond until Jan 31st 2020.

          DIAMOND
          UNTIL January 31st, 2020

          Still trying to find the 2 free nights offer in Dubai that seems to have disappeared

  • N says:

    OT: Can I book LATAM flights through ba.com?

  • vlcnc says:

    Damn it! Just booked a Eurowings flight to go to Cologne for a wedding in July, on Wednesday!

  • Doug M says:

    OT: I have the hotel statuses from a previous Amex Plat. None of the statuses seems to have fallen in the 8 months or so I didn’t have a Amex Plat. Have a new Amex Plat now, is there any need, point or benefit from trying to click through the links again? Would it in some way extend the life of these statuses, to be specific Hilton and Marriott. I assume what status I have with IHG is from their Premium card. Mostly this doesn’t matter as I seldom book direct, but never know what might change. I’m right in thinking that the SPG/Marriott thing reduced the value of the Amex status, as in no breakfast and no benefits on 3rd party bookings?

    • Rob says:

      Just wait until you drop back then use the links to reupgrade. Correct re SPG/Marriott.

      • Alan says:

        Although in fairness the previous SPG Gold never had a breakfast benefit anyway, there was just a short crossover period post-merger where it was a little more generous?

  • Dave says:

    OT: Can BA eVouchers be used to pay for seat selection or are they restricted to flights only?

  • Mikee says:

    O/T – trying to reduce the cost of a 1-way car rental LAX to Vegas…..anyone know of any member discounts that reduce/eliminate 1-way fees? I’m top-tier with a number of car rental agencies but can’t seem to find a decent deal for 8 days in early Feb.

    • Reeferman says:

      @ Mikee
      Try priceline dot com – once you’ve found a suitable deal, you don’t have to book thru them of course.

    • Rob mc says:

      How much are prices currently.. .?

    • Alex W says:

      Also try autoslash dot com

      • Mikee says:

        Will try Autoslash and Priceline….currently getting $450 for a full size for a 9 day 1 way rental.

        • Mikee says:

          Found the BA Gold AWD code N744400 for Avis gave me a 9 day 1 way LAX-LAS convertible rental for £260 (using Avis Australia site). BA website also gave the same rate with additional driver included but need to pay up front).

  • Lloyd says:

    O/T: Quick question – I presume it is possible to change an Avios booking on a Qantas flight in Australia by paying a small fee, as with a BA flight from the UK?

    • Alan says:

      IIRC would still be £35 change fee so given the small cost of QF redemptions within Oz you’d probably be better cancelling for refund of Avios (no fee to pay as covered by cash component you give up) then paying for a new booking?

  • Mark says:

    O/T just applied for my first SPG (or what was) card and input my new combined Marriott/spg number when applying…has this worked for other people or do you have to set up a new account and then merge them?
