  1) Virgin Reward card voucher- No status, can you use voucher for RETURN upgrade to premium?
  2) Do you pay economy taxes or premium taxes if you upgrade?

  • Benilyn says:

    1) Yes, Economy to Premium only, not Premium to Upper.
    2) Premium taxes

  • ChrisA says:

    1. Yes, if just for one person. An alternative would be 2 pax one way.
    2. You pay the premium charges.

  O/T Avis 250 extra Avios when paying with BA Amex

  Does this appear on the Amex statement (as bonus points), or the BAEC statement (with the base rental points)?

  It’s on neither so far.

    for most people that’s a no, & a no

    ie you’ll always have to chase and good luck with that

      Never appeared for me.

      Always have to chase. At least they have an online ticket system now.

      They just apply the 700 again (which ends up being 702 normally) again and say I can keep the rest as a goodwill gesture. Happens every time!

        Ha, yes, it did post as 702 (not sure why, I don’t think my previous rentals have). Who did you contact? Avis or Amex?

  O/T
  Trying to refer from BAPP to Gold and getting a message that I’m not eligible to do this? s a glitch?

  • Shoestring says:

    19 Dec19 December 16:14

    how exactly are you getting any message at all? you just generate your referral & give it (ie a web address) to the person you want to refer, they paste it into the web address bar or click on it / use it to go to Amex website & choose whichever card they want

    I can’t see there’s any opportunity to get a message

    • Darren says:

      19 Dec19 December 16:18

      Went to the referral page, then logged in and got the message, haven’t referred for a while. I’ll get the link as you say. Thanks

  #fess-up (well it was more than fess and rhymes with luck)

  so I messed up on my cheapo Oct half term booking this morning – 2x £40 HBO bookings out to our place in the sun, in the BA Sale – put in the wrong date & added on a week of hols…nice

  thank ye pennypinching gods for BA’s go back in time/ cockup complete refund facility (24hrs limit though) – I was under the wrong impression it was for Avios flights only but obvs works fine for cash fares, so after minor heart attack, quickly got refunded and re-booked

  • Mark M says:

    19 Dec19 December 19:26

    Good to know you ‘experts’ get it wrong at times too!
    And even better to know BA are not totally pennypinching and you saved the day…

  • Peter K says:

    Well saved.

    Todays’s cockup was finding a cheaper rate for a hotel in AUH next month, patting myself on the back for having made a refundable reservation, and cancelling so that I could avail of the cheaper rate. Almost immediately, realised that I’d punched the wrong month in. The new rate was £20 more, not £8 less. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

    let’s hope it stays at 60! not long till I get mine (it’s not much – worked there spanning 2 pension years – but I’d rather get it sooner than later haha)

  O/T: Is a discount on bar spend for IHG Rewards Club members a standard IHG feature? Not one I was aware of but the hotel I’m staying at offers it – and now I’m wondering, is it something I should have claimed and didn’t on past IHG stays – or is it just a specific to this hotel….?

    We got 15% off our bar bill at the HIX in Singapore in May 2018. We stayed there with my brother and his partner and they like a beer or two or three so our bar bill was very large and I earned several thousand qualifying pts! I was Spire Elite.

    Recent offer in general across all hotels but not sure if it’s time limited.

    Some hotels may have done their own in the past.
