  on the subject of 10% back at Morrison’s I also had 5% back appear later and saved that too.
  My last purchases received two emails each; has anyone had two statement credits in similar cases?

    What card is the Morrison’s offer on? AMEX or LLOY?

    • mark2 says:

      27 Feb27 February 15:11

      Amex Gold

  Airline shares getting hammered, unsurprisingly. Many had been on a good run since the autumn so perhaps a correction was needed? Any brave souls prepared to buy?

  OT: @Rob. I mentioned a week ago that the ibis where I bought the business card said I would get a £20 refund in a couple of weeks time. Well, it has arrived in exactly a week and I’m pleasantly surprised myself as I did not expect it!

  • Rob says:

    Thanks – I will have a dig as it wasn’t on the website.

    Getting a bit tired of paying full price for this then finding out shortly after others have received decent offers or not had their status cut before the end of the validity…!

    As I say, sup with Accor at your peril

    But I am glad you got sorted, @Zara

  Called Amex to cancel my Bonvoy card, was offered 3/£ for another 3 months, so will hang onto it for the time being.

    Who offered? I called yesterday and said they can’t do anything at all. Did ring post 7pm though.

    • manoj brahmbhatt says:

      The agent on the phone offered it when I said I was thinking of cancelling after the next points sweep, called today at 2pm. From the accent, I would hazard a guess it was an agent in the Phillipines rather then Brighton, obviously it could quite easily have been someone with an accent working at Brighton!

  O/T Tesco Pet Insurance

  Does anyone have any data points for when the bonus points should post to my clubcard account? I called tesco bank who confirmed I was eligible for the bonus and that my clubcard no. was associated with the policy starting 13th Jan. They would only commit to “…the points should post before the next statement…”

  P.S. I did a cheeky double dip if that’s a factor?

  • BJ says:

    27 Feb27 February 16:42

    People reported the stated 35d plus one or two I think. You’ll have to hang in there some months to see if double dip works unless they decline it quickly.

  • grammer says:

    27 Feb27 February 16:42

    Just checked and the points posted today… 🙂

  I have a 4 night stay coming up. Can’t decide whether to book Hilton (gold) or IHG (play) What do people do when hotels are equally matched?
  I am not paying from my own pocket…
  It’s a toss between Hampton and holiday inn ( town doesn’t have too many choices)

  • Jonty says:

    27 Feb27 February 15:52

    Hampton likely to be more modern than HI, HI brekky likely better than Hampton. Four one night stays changing every night best for points, worst for faff.

  • BJ says:

    27 Feb27 February 16:45

    Base it on promotional benefit to you, EQN may also be a factor in your decision.

  • Lady London says:

    27 Feb27 February 18:39

    For me Hilton.
    Even though IHG seems to have lost their way on their loyalty incentive strategy, if you do have any IHG points I have found they will get you out of a hole sometimes with a bit more flexibility than Hilton points.

    Plus I haven’t stayed in a Hampton that was any worse than the best HIX I’ve stayed in, I find the quality of the rooms much better.

    • BJ says:

      27 Feb27 February 19:00

      I agree on quality of Hampton versus HIX. However, I’ve noticed Hamptons seem to show their age quicker. Probably just because they are nicer to start with, any deterioration is more obvious.

  OT:
  I’m currently booked onto a China Eastern flight from Male – Colombo on 4th April, MU714.
  I’m trying to find out if these flights are still running due to Corona and if I’m eligible for a refund – China Eastern’s terrible website is giving me nothing and Google is just telling me that the flight is currently not running but with no other information. Do any of the wizards on here know how I could go about getting accurate information?
  Thanks!

  Monese rejecting a paypoint topup via co-op and amex the last two days for me. I’m on premium so hopefully it’s only a temporary glitch 🙁

  • Rim says:

    27 Feb27 February 17:57

    £240 and £240 2hours ago.. No issues..

  • BJ says:

    27 Feb27 February 18:14

    I had this, it now works fine so wait a few days and try again.

  • Peter K says:

    27 Feb27 February 18:23

    Okay for me lunchtime.

  • mark2 says:

    27 Feb27 February 18:34

    Are you aware that there is a limit of £5,000 per rolling 30 days? I wasn’t it until I had this problem error -96.

    • BJ says:

      27 Feb27 February 18:53

      You’ll need to ask them to upgrade your limits Mark 🙂

      @Harry T … see how it’s done, Mark showing you the way!

      • Harry T says:

        27 Feb27 February 19:13

        @BJ
        With Post Office blocked, I’m not sure whether there are any good options for me to top up Monese. Most of the pay points seem to be in supermarkets round me, and they only allow cash top ups. Haven’t had time to explore options to be honest!

        • BJ says:

          27 Feb27 February 19:18

          Must be loads of co-ops in Newcastle surely? Also worth trying Esso and McColls.

        • Harry T says:

          27 Feb27 February 19:53

          Thanks, duly noted! I presume they only allow £249 at a time? I may start using Monese again (will have to pay) to hit the upgrade spend on partner’s plat.

        • BJ says:

          27 Feb27 February 20:05

          I’ve kept mine under £200 but I think most do close to the limit no problem. I am nkt sure if all McColls tajd amex but there are reports that at least some do.

        • Harry T says:

          27 Feb27 February 20:47

          Are you just using the coop? My only concern is I’d have to do quite a few runs to break even on £15 a month, given there’s not a coop close by.

      • BJ says:

        27 Feb27 February 21:03

        Didn’t you use the 3 month free code?

        • Harry T says:

          27 Feb27 February 21:43

          @BJ
          I used the three month free code before Christmas to help me attain a 241 voucher. I’ve also used the ONEMONTHFREE or whatever it was. Don’t have any codes for a free month now, alas.

        • Shoestring says:

          27 Feb27 February 21:47

          PREMIUMPLEASE – 3 months

      • mark2 says:

        27 Feb27 February 22:14

        I don’t think that is possible, but worth a try!
