  Glad to see the Hilton Triple working

  The reformed HFP team and focus sounds like a good pragmatic decision.

  Hoping the triple points offer counts my current stay this week – otherwise, it’ll go towards my not so exciting one night stay next week…

  Welcome back, Rhys – great to have you back on board!

• Alex says:

  I have registered for this part way through my current stay. Has anybody been successful in the same situation?

  • Lady London says:

    For these ones it usually has to be before checkout

  • guesswho2000 says:

    Yes, I registered while checked in at the weekend, checked out Monday evening, points posted Tuesday.

  • Steve says:

    I registered the Monday evening after having checked out that morning and the points posted the next day for that stay along with the X3 bonus.

  • Alex says:

    Thanks for the replies everyone, the offer worked for me and posted the next day.

  Anyway at all to get a 2 month extension on my BA amex 2-4-1 voucher?

  • Jake M says:

    No

  OT: Help required please.

  My passport surname is B as is my BAEC account as they need to be the same.
  I need to book flights using Avios in February in my new surname A-B as I’ll have a new passport by then.
  I’d like to avail the group of 4 of us travelling of my gold benefits (extra bag & seat selection free).

  BA says change account name now, however that won’t match my passport name for another ~7 months preventing me from making another BA booking. I’ve already got a VS redemption booking in October booked in surname B.

  Is there a way around this I’m missing?

  • Peter K says:

    Get a new passport now, earlier than necessary?

    • Shoestring says:

      8 May8 May 11:21

      Or just carry on using your singleton name for things like this. There’s no legal requirement to change your name on all things if (say) you get hitched. You can use a mix of names as you see fit. Eg carry on as B with passport, BAEC and all things loyalty, but use A-B for driving licence, at work, socially etc.

      • @mkcol says:

        Exactly what I’ve done for last 9 years coz I know I can be known as whatever name I want.

        Main issues I’ve faced with that is AMEX/BA & Virgin Money/VS & AVIS/BA basically refusing to pass any loyalty points from one to the other as the surnames don’t match.

        An argument has ensued each time. AVIS to BAEC just doesn’t happen. The others eventually make an exception after a few months back & forth…. which to be honest I’m tired of.

          It IS possible to have 2 accounts with many companies; I opened a Marriott Bonvoy account recently in my maiden name having completely forgotten that I had opened one in my married name a couple of years ago when there was some promotion going on! Exact same details apart from the surnames. Hint – this also works with other organisations 😉

        • JJ says:

          Have you considered getting ‘Also known as” (AKA) in your new passport.
          Mrs JJ has this as she works in her maiden name and it is possible that she might end up with a ticket in that name. I don’t remember having to put a reason when she got the new passport.
          You could then sends scans to the various companies showing both names. If it’s good enough for HMG it ought to be good enough for them. Admittedly we haven’t tested it with a grumpy US Border Guard yet..

    • @mkcol says:

      8 May8 May 13:24

      Peter I’ve already got a booking in existing name for October, so I’d have to pay a name change fee for that if I did get a new passport early.

      • Anna says:

        8 May8 May 13:47

        As Shoestring says, there’s absolutely no requirement to change your name. I’ve been married for 23 years and travel under my maiden name. I’ve never had any issues with being known by 2 different surnames even though, for example, my HH account is in my married name.

        • @mkcol says:

          8 May8 May 15:06

          Anna – I know there’s on legal requirement etc to change my name, otherwise I wouldn’t be in the situation I am!
          However as explained previously it’s getting too much of a faff to get relevant points passed correctly. I’ve had enough & just want a simple life!

        • David says:

          I think the only solution is to get a divorce tbh.

          😉

  • Charlieface says:

    8 May8 May 16:07

    Book in your current name and take your marriage certificate with you. But honestly it’s probably not worth the risk. Will they not do it over the phone? Maybe ask them to change the name on the account temporarily then change it back

  Any updates at all on the possible new Hilton UK credit card? Thanks

  • Marcw says:

    8 May8 May 16:56

    Won’t happen.

    • Peter K says:

      8 May8 May 20:05

      Or will it…?

• Darren says:

  Quick O/T,

  Which business lounge in BKK, Cathay or JAL?

  Thanks

  • Darren says:

    8 May8 May 12:54

    Thankyou

  • CV3V says:

    8 May8 May 12:56

    Check where you’re gate is before making a final decision on lounge, the BKK terminal is very very long.

  • John says:

    8 May8 May 14:50

    JL is only open just before JL flights. There is also QR if you are flying J/F (entry not allowed for status pax in Y/W)

    • Darren says:

      8 May8 May 15:10

      BA J

    • Aisak says:

      8 May8 May 15:30

      That shouldn’t be the case according to OW rules for access.

      The only QR lounges excluded from OW status policy are:
      “Qatar Airways’ Al Safwa First and Al Mourjan Business lounges in Doha (DOH) and Qatar Airways’ Premium Lounges in London (LHR) and Paris (CDG) are excluded”

  • Darren says:

    8 May8 May 15:23

    Looks like it’s Cathay as the others are closed when I’m there.

    • BJ says:

      8 May8 May 17:36

      Cathay fine. Consider Oman Air or new Turkish lounge, or even a Miracle lounge if you have Priority Pass. Anything but BA/Qantas really.

      • Darren says:

        9 May9 May 03:25

        Not a fan of Miracles, tried them last Nov.

  • Calvin says:

    8 May8 May 17:07

    only open during certain hours though. plan your journey accordingly, cathay is a good second choice.
