Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

London City Airport and Sheraton launch their new logos

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

London City Airport unveiled a rebranding yesterday, designed to reflect the fact that it is now a leisure airport as much as a business airport.

The accompanying promotional video, see here, describes it as a “dynamic and game-changing new identity”.  You may have other ideas.

Not to be outdone, Sheraton also revealed its new logo – see below.

Marriott said, with a straight face, that it :

came from modern day town squares in Europe such as the Piazza del Campo in Siena, Trafalgar Square in London, and Plaza Mayor in Madrid, which function as places at the heart of the community where people gather and the city comes to life”.

    can’t see the Bremont on my amex plat sadly

    • Charlie says:

      Same, also not on my SPG / Nectar / BA amex cards too.

      • Philip White says:

        Not on my Plat Charge, Plat Credit or BAPP. Has anybody seen it other than Rob?

  • Craig says:

    Just emailed them, the standard case would attract 3000, this offer would only be 750.

    • Shoestring says:

      aha! I guess they make the rules

      we got 3000 several times in the past so can’t complain if they are trying not to lose quite so much money on the loss leaders 🙂

    • EwanG says:

      @Craig. They’ve offered 3000 bonus miles regularly for the first purchase in the past, no reason for them not to do this again in the future so hold out for that rather than the 750 for your first purchase.

      • Shoestring says:

        I had a check and 3000 on first case seems to have disappeared as an offer for now

  • Jtz says:

    OT: I got a confirmation from iberia that my details have been deleted, tried logging in and didn’t work.
    The way to delete all data and close account is through one of the drop-down options on contact us.

    • JPK says:

      Was that with a negative Avios balance?

      • Shoestring says:

        GDPR route will get your data erased & a/c closed – but what happens if IAG join up the IB & BAEC points platforms in the future? Does your negative IB balance suddenly reappear in an amalgamated points a/c?

        • Optimus Prime says:

          Are we sure they delete all data and are not allowed to keep anything at all to prevent fraud?

          I know that matched bettors that have been ‘gubbed’ are asking bookies to delete all personal data but they have refused – they keep some information to prevent you from opening a new account and be eligible for signup bonuses, promotions, etc.

        • Shoestring says:

          Iberia are up front about that, also telling you that they will keep essential data possibly needed for future legal reasons. [Plenty of case studies on FT.]

          In theory that shouldn’t mean you stay recorded as a minus 90K Avios account.

          But I doubt it.

        • Alan says:

          Lol not heard of it in a betting context before, up here it means being really tired (see Scottish vernacular meaning)!

        • Alex Sm says:

          @genghis out of curiousity – was it really so lucrative and profitable (at least in short term) or is it another scam and a way to lose money and enrich services like Profit Accumulator etc?

      • Jtz says:

        Yes, and like Genghis pointed out the email said they may keep details for legal reasons

  • Jus says:

    I would have loved the Bremont offer, i would have walked into the store and paid on 4 diff cards.

  • Harvey says:

    OT.
    Travelling abroad with the following CC cards. Which are most beneficial to use?(I think they are all with a FX fee)
    Plat
    Gold
    Bapp
    Spg
    Virgin+

    • Waddle says:

      Virgin when paired with Curve becomes fee-free FX & points earning.

    • TGLoyalty says:

      If you don’t care about the 3% fee Gold earns double MR

      If you are staying at an SPG property you would also get double but thats the same inside or outside the UK.

  • @mkcol says:

    OT: Have just (17:31) had email from Hilton Honors saying they’ve just matched my status & I need to complete 8 stays in 90 days to maintain Diamond.
    Most peculiarly I already was Diamond, which was due to expire end of March 2020 & hadn’t applied for any match or extension or anything.
    Anyone else getting such oddity?

    • Craig says:

      Me too, I matched in May last year and completed 8 stays. Then I was told I’d gained status until March 2019 which I assumed was a mistake. Just had the same email as you??

    • BJ says:

      Probably just the latest in a string of Hilton IT glitches.

    • Brian W says:

      Me too. I completed the Diamond challenge Nov 2018, giving me Diamond till March 2020.

      I’m assuming it’s an error!

  • Greg says:

    With 6 Amex cards between my wife and I, we took full advantage of the recent BP offer, so much so that not one of them has the Bremont offer. Shame, because it is the best offer I have seen to date.

  • James says:

    Anyone want to club together, buy a watch over 6 or more cards, sell it on ebay and make a tidy profit ?
