  OT and a rather specific but I attended the Platinum House in Palm Springs a couple of weeks ago and it was superb. Free high end drinks, canapés and some very big DJs preforming. In light of all the recent changes with the Amex Plat this is one of the few things that makes me want to keep the card.

  The Indian tour we are looking at for next year has changed from Jet Airways to Emirates flying in to Delhi.

    would certainly be an upgrade regardless of the class

  Can anyone tell me if Tesco uber credits can be used outside of the UK like the USA .

  • New Card says:

    24 Apr24 April 10:10

    they can’t

      Btw if anyone else uses Lyft as well I think the answer is the same there.

  • axil says:

    24 Apr24 April 10:14

    Nope. Only UK

  • Alan says:

  Weren’t there a lot of people reporting receiving out of date beer through these offers?

  • Rob says:

    24 Apr24 April 10:20

    MSE advertised it as ‘out of date’ beer in the first place, at least in the article I read.

  • Relaxo says:

    Cant go wrong with 50p per beer. Even if slightly out of date…..if that’s a thing in the first place.

    • Sussex Bantam says:

      I drank (several) of the out of date beers over the weekend – all good !

    • Alan says:

      24 Apr24 April 13:48

      Plus it’s only after best before, not use by (different from a legal and food safety perspective)

  • Alan says:

    24 Apr24 April 13:45

    On the previous MSE offer up to half were out of date. My bigger issue was 2 beers + snack were missing. They gave me £4 back despite me not asking for a refund, waiting to make sure Amex don’t take credit back, will be going back to Beer52 if so. Can’t say I’d recommend them based on my experience which this offer.

    • Grant says:

      24 Apr24 April 13:56

      I had the same issue. Got £7 refund which I thought would mean that Amex would claw back the £10 offer. I think I got lucky in that the initial transaction and rebate fell in one month statement and the £7 refund fell in to the next month. No sign of Amex clawing back the £10 yet

    • Kian says:

      24 Apr24 April 14:53

      I had the same issue. They refunded me £6 over a week ago, and Amex hasn’t taken back the £10 credit so far.

      • Alan says:

        Seems like I’ve been short changed!

  OT: 48h flash sale 30% off at Wyndham hotels if that’s any use to anybody.

  • RussellH says:

      Welcome…had to be somebody given they are still the world’s biggest hotel chain I believe 🙂

  Last year I wished to fly to Mumbai one way from England. So we bought a ticket via Istanbul on Turkish Airlines. I loved the comfort and personal screen on their planes. I think we spent less on airport tax than taking British Airways there.

  • John says:

    24 Apr24 April 14:58

    Umm, if you flew out of a UK airport (except INV) then you would have paid the same tax regardless of the airline. And you would have paid some Turkish taxes too.

    • Lady London says:

      24 Apr24 April 16:09

      Correct @John but doubtless what @Maxine is referring to is that British Airways charges to a passenger included a large amount additional to thé base fare which British Airways told the passenger was tax but actually the true government is as you say, the same for all airlines. The rest being not taxvasvdescribed by British Airways, but actually money which British Airways kept for themselves whilst calling it taxes. In the case of British Airways, the extra amount taken seems typically more than what, say, Turkish Airlines would say is taxes for the same route.

      If you want to check out some hot modern examples of this then just price up any British Airways fare from UK to USA, say, using a Business Class ticket as an example. Look at what British Airways is calling taxes and charges, mostly called by them just taxes. It’s about £700. In addition to the fare price quoted stated as taxes or taxes etc. Go check government taxes and airport charges that are counted within this figure. You will find IR’s about £200 within that £700 figure British Airways is putting under a taxes heading.

      Another extreme case: I returned from the US last Christmas. For that leg British Airways charged so called taxes and charges of approximately £385. As in Rob’s recent article, for the same routing Delta would have charged less than 30usd for all taxes and charges. In other words, just tax and unavoidable airport based charges.

        [If you lived in the United States between November 2006 and April 2013, you could be in line for a windfall following the proposed settlement of a class action lawsuit against British Airways over Avios redemptions.

        The case – put simply – was that British Airways added surcharges to Avios redemptions in breach of Executive Club terms and conditions. Whilst these were called ‘fuel surcharges’ there was no proof that they bore any relation to changes in the cost of aviation fuel.

        For clarity, British Airways has not admitted it was at fault and no court has found otherwise – but the airline is handing over a pile of money to make the case go away.]

  Tesco Clubcard is a sad story.

  Used to put significant spend through the linked credit card and made excellent use of the Deals, not least (during the family years) – of the often keenly-priced Tussauds/Merlin passes.

  But the scheme has been consistently devalued over recent years to the point where I lost my Tesco credit card – ironically while shopping at Aldi – and never bothered to replace it…

  Working through the remaining £200 or so of vouchers but the pickings are thin nowadays 😣

  When is Esso withdrawing from Clubcard? Still hoping to pick up the 200 bonus clubcard points for first time fill up on the app.

  • RussellH says:

    24 Apr24 April 17:43

    Useful to know yes.
    But no one I know round here ever actaully buys fuel at our local Esso – it is about 6p /l more expensive than even small tourist trap fuel!!
    But it is the most convenient place to buy newspapers, which helps the Clubcard numbers tick up.

    • Thomas says:

      24 Apr24 April 23:01

      Yeah i won’t be a regular – But 200 Clubcard points is enough to justify i think.
