  What a shame. No Laithwaites offers on my 3 cards. Running low from the previous naked wines and Laithwaites offers… Although I must state a preference for the naked wine bundle overall. Any non-Amex offers for either currently?

    I get more £8 off £40 vouchers from Waitrose than I can use. Pay with JL gift cards bought from Morrisons or Tesco for a discount. Some very decent discounts on Waitrose wine that way.

    • Polly says:

      We only get 4 off 40 spend..thats a good offer you get. Maybe cos we shop there often..

        You’ll get your 4 Virgin Miles per £1 spent too though?

        (If you are Virgin Atlantic Flying Club member anyway).

      I’m sick of arriving home to find Waitrose vouchers on the mat expired because they won’t send them electronically. Have stayed in hotels minutes from good Waitroses I could have used the vouchers in had I received them electronically whilst working away. Even a few £4 or £8 off ones amongst them. Grrr.

      I phoned Waitrose to ask do they plan to modernise and send electronically like everyone else is now. Or could they at least give the customer a choice.

      Waitrose said they have no plans to send these vouchers electronically. Last few times I’ve actually not bothered to go straight to Waitrose to fill the fridge when I get home.

      I will be going to John Lewis though because as of this week they’ve sent an email for their loyalty program offering the chance to opt for all-electronic.

  OT: Does the Morrisons offer allow you to purchase paper gift vouchers with Amex at the Customer Services for use at the petrol station?

  • Chrisasaurus says:

    3 Sep3 September 06:01

    Comments previously posted indicate yes but no personal experience

  • PaulC says:

    3 Sep3 September 07:06

    Yes it does, I’m down to my last £15 worth.

  • Zoe says:

    3 Sep3 September 07:25

    I’m obviously off the pace, which Morrison’s offer please?

    • Shoestring says:

      3 Sep3 September 07:33

      Amex – I’ve got 5% again on all/ repeat visit purchases, previously others had up to 10%

      and yes – they are happy to take the Morrisons vouchers at the petrol station, they get treated as cash and you get change

      buy them at the till or the kiosk, they’re not on the gift voucher stand

      • PaulC says:

        3 Sep3 September 07:45

        Yes I only discovered they give you changhe once I was half way through my stash. I could of been buying my £3.50 meal deals and getting change from a £10 voucher to pay back to AMEX – Money and points for nothing with 10% back!

        • Zoe says:

          3 Sep3 September 07:53

          Almost as good as about a week many years ago when newly refurbished Morrisons branches were accepting vouchers from any other supermarket. I had many hundreds of pounds worth of paper club card vouchers (redeemed online). My larder and wine stash got a major boost.

      • RussellH says:

        3 Sep3 September 11:08

        Not available at the kiosk here. Only the tills.

  • Harry T says:

    3 Sep3 September 07:58

    Yes, I used some yesterday to buy diesel from Morrison’s. I bought a load when the 10% off offer was on Platinum.

  • Alan says:

    3 Sep3 September 21:04

    I’ve got the 10% on my platinum card. Does anyone have a knowledge of how much a Morrison’s store will sell you?

    • Shoestring says:

      3 Sep3 September 21:13

      £2500 wasn’t a problem, they had to fetch book of £1000 out of the safe, I did it something like £300, £300, £500, £1000 that sort of pattern

      they weren’t remotely suspicious and thought I had some cunning plan to pay my workers without any NICs or income tax, I didn’t like to say it’s all for diesel discount

      • Alan says:

        3 Sep3 September 21:33

        Thanks. Presumably no short expiry date on them, unless they go bust…

        • Shoestring says:

          3 Sep3 September 21:35

          no expiry date & the rate we burn diesel, as long as Morrisons are still there in the spring, we’ll be fine

      • Polly says:

        3 Sep3 September 22:14

        I got 1k worth, wish we got more. Now only have 5% offer. Bummer.

      • EwanG says:

        3 Sep3 September 22:51

        Not bad going Shoestring.
        I’m surprised we didn’t get lynched a few weeks back when buying JL Gift Cards at my 2 nearby stores. Felt really embarrassed at the grief being doled out to staff by some in the queue whilst waiting for the manager code and then processing a stack of them. The 2nd store mentioned if chip and pin didn’t work they wouldn’t sell them, apparently too much fraud on swipe. The first store didn’t let that stop them!!

• Craig says:

  OT: Google offer showing on Amex cards works with any spend as far as I can see, it mentions the Pixel phone but I bought some connected home equipment and triggered the offer.

• Mark says:

  On the wheely deal, what is the rough cost for getting from SE London (Lewisham) to Gatwick Airport this Saturday afternoon (i.e. traffic not too bad)…journey should take about an hour any guidance?

  • Marko says:

    3 Sep3 September 07:34

    Wheely has fixed prices to the airport – for Lewisham to Gatwick you are looking at 85£ for the E-Class. With the discount, that’d be 60£.

    • TGLoyalty says:

      3 Sep3 September 08:40

      20% off your first ride up to £30 discount so you’d save about £16 if you get referred that would save you some money too

      Feel free to use mine Y9XJH I don’t think I’ve seen rob post his (only allows 15 uses so might be why)

      • BigSi says:

        3 Sep3 September 09:44

        Thanks TGLoyalty just added your code!

  • tony says:

    3 Sep3 September 07:35

    I suspect it’ll be toppy. I took a Wheely from the City to Baker Street and it was £35. So that’s 75-100% more than a black cab for the same journey. Admittedly traffic wasn’t great and I had a £25 discount (price was before discount), but I don’t think it’ll save you over using a more ‘traditional’ service even with the offer code.

    PS – offer not showing on any of my three AX cards.

• ScienceTeacher says:

  3 Sep3 September 07:58

  Date point for cost: I used Wheely last year.

  Sloane Square tube station to Westfield, Shepherds Bush was roughly £45 before the offer.

• Combatjohnny says:

  3 Sep3 September 08:11

  Is anyone elses ‘1000 avios for £30 in a supermarket but tracking?

  • Froggee says:

    3 Sep3 September 08:23

    Mine has worked from £45 at a Tesco. No email but offer has disappeared from My Saved Offers and the Avios are shown as due to transfer.

  • xcalx says:

    3 Sep3 September 08:26

    Had the offer on 2 cards, Asda refunded, COOP 9 days on and no sign of refund.

    • xcalx says:

      3 Sep3 September 08:27

      Sorry mine was the £10 offer

    • Rob says:

      3 Sep3 September 08:55

      Waitrose paid out very quickly for me.

• Neil Donoghue says:

  3 Sep3 September 08:21

  I must confess, Wheely isn’t the cheapest but if you are looking for an executive car (A Mercedes S-Class) then it’s perfect and the rates aren’t bad at all. I would never use it for an E-Class as you can get those on Uber for 30% less.

  • nick says:

    3 Sep3 September 13:34

    Disagree

    Often its uber x that comes out as most expensive from LHR to NW London
    I was shocked

• n_g says:

  3 Sep3 September 08:22

  OT: Looking at a few nights in the Balmoral with AMEX FH&R and there appears to be a sentence in the small print saying ‘Benefits apply to executive rooms or above’. Has anyone every came across this before? I have no idea what this sentence means and whether they are talking about the $100 credit, the late check out, the breakfast or everything. Will ring AMEX Platinum but curious if anyone has ever come across similar before.

  • Rob says:

    3 Sep3 September 08:55

    Odd. Perhaps they have some very cheap rooms which cost less than the food credit on some nights?

    • n_g says:

      3 Sep3 September 10:51

      Room rate is pretty low considering the high standard of the hotel (about £200) but is seems strange to sneak this by in the hidden T&Cs. Surely they could just simply not offer that room. Maybe it’s rare someone using FH&R would book the Classic room so never had this issue.

      • Rob says:

        3 Sep3 September 12:01

        I booked a one-nigher at Park Hyatt Hamburg for the inlaws last week (we were there in a suite for 4 days).

        Paid €229 on a Hyatt Prive rate via Emyr. Upgraded to a junior suite (via Hyatt Prive), got free breakfast (via Hyatt Prive), got club access as a side effect of the suite upgrade AND they got €85 food and beverage credit. Astonishing package in one of the finer city hotels in Europe.

        • n_g says:

          3 Sep3 September 12:44

          Might have to enquire about whether I can get similar for my forthcoming trip if AMEX confirm my suspicions. I’ve never used the service before, mainly because I’ve become accustomed to searching through option’s online rather than via a third party.
