  My SPG points from the SPG amex card have left my amex account but not turned up in my marriot bonvoy yet – thoughts?

  • Peter K says:

    Wait a few days first.

      It’s probably been about 4 to be honest.

  OT: Continuing the SPG Amex threads, I’ve just received my “30,000 points bonus” from my SPG card and they have transferred 1:1 to Bonvoy points (not the 3:2 that I assumed). I know this has been done to death on here before (I can’t find any of the old comments) but has anyone had any luck getting the correct conversion on the SPG points or shall I just leave it and carry on with my life?

    30,000 Bonvoy points is already multiplied by 3 AFAIK. It used to be 10,000 Starpoints.

  • Rob says:

    It is 1:1, that is the correct rate.

  @james don’t forget that cancelling cards will also have an effect on your credit record.

  Alex W. That I wasn’t aware of, never even thought about it. So, if I cancel one of my cards that is ‘bad’ news ? If so, I’ll cut if up and just forget it.

  • Genghis says:

    I wouldn’t worry. Cancelling every so often isn’t going to do much damage.

    • TGLoyalty says:

      Depends if it’s one of your older accounts. The clarity card I’ve had for about 12 years is going no where for that exact reason.

        The only reason would be to keep the benefits of the card, cancelling a card can only be seen as beneficial as it means less credit utilisation IMO

  OT: there is 700 avios now available for a first Tesco online grocery shop via BA eee store.

  • Shoestring says:

    27 Feb27 February 22:02

    = new email address

    • BJ says:

      27 Feb27 February 22:10

      Wonder if we could push more than one through each avios account.

      Purchase Conditions
      Collect 700 Avios when you spend £45 on your first online Tesco shop. Avios will only be awarded if the first purchase is made via a desktop computer. No Avios will be awarded if you spend £44.99 or less. Avios will not be available if you are a Tesco Delivery Saver customer. Customers who have made an online grocery purchase with Tesco before will not be eligible for any Avios.

      You will not receive Avios for any other purchases from Tesco.

      Queries can only be investigated after 30 days from the date the purchase was made.

        The stand out point for me here is that if you are a regular Tesco delivery customer and pay the monthly Delivery Saver fee, you can’t use that so would have to pay for delivery (presumably on top of the £45 min spend on groceries)

  • Grant says:

    27 Feb27 February 22:24

    The small print in the ‘About’ section underneath notes the following:

    “Remember your Clubcard points can be turned into Avios on every shop you make. £2.50 of Clubcard Vouchers can be changed into 700 Avios..”

    I thought it was £2.50 = 600 Avios. Is this an error on BAs website (which, lets face it, would not be unusual) or have they increased the rate? The link to the Tesco page suggests its a(nother) BA IT error – Tesco still quoting £2.50 = 600 Avios

    • BJ says:

      27 Feb27 February 22:38

      Just an error I would think. I am curious if their monitoring is sufficient to identify regular customers with anything other than email addresses.

      • Grant says:

        Clubcard account numbers?

  OT: If taking a 2nd supplementary platinum card for a further fee of £170 per year, then cancelling a little while later, would that fee be refunded pro-rata?

  • Genghis says:

    28 Feb28 February 06:02

    Yes

    • Qwerty Bertie says:

      28 Feb28 February 12:11

      Thanks. Contemplating getting two at once for a close friend and his wife, so they’ll have free access to Plaza Premium T5 on a family holiday, and free breakfast at a Hilton resort. Would then cancel a month or so after. Any flaws in the plan, other than the concept of unauthorised charges being made?
