  OT I am thinking of switching from Amex Platinum to Amex Business Platinum.

  1) Any tips for the switch – is there a more efficient way than just apply for new and then once it’s set up cancel old? Will the new one go into my existing MR online account?

  2) Does anyone have a comprehensive list of the differences in benefits between the two cards? I’ve spotted 3 or 4 but want to make sure I’m not missing anything.

    No Eurostar lounge access on the Business. Business better insurance though.

      If you register it to your existing Amex account then the MR points will feed through fine.

      Differences – no AddLee credit, free Times online subsription, no Eurostar lounge access, better travel insurance (runs to 80, fewer requirements to pay with the card)

  OT: I was stupid enough to let £300 of clubcard vouchers expire on Saturday. Has anyone ever had any luck phoning up to get them reinstated?

    AwardWallet will give you plenty of warning they’re about to expire.

  • LewisB says:

    2 Mar2 March 09:29

    Ouch. I’d be kicking myself for a while over that one!

  • Polly says:

    Usually T email you mid month to advise you the vouchers are expiring. I got one, and spent some small amounts to avios, the rest now re issued in next statement, l Hope. They conveniently had not credited change to me to the tune of £400 over the last 2 years, took 2 months to sort out but they found them all.
    Call them now, and explain you couldn’t log on or something. Get it logged with a manager today tho.

      Thanks Polly, I phoned and they are rolling them over to May. I normally get an email but hadn’t this time, although I was well aware they were expiring anyway. If anyone else has the same issue, it was very quick and easy on the phone.

  • Lady London says:

    I lost same amount. Tesco sent no emails, ever, about any expiring nor anything else.

    When I realised I complained but they refused to reinstate them. Mysteriously I started receiving reminders for the pitiful amount I had left after that from Tesco.

    I’d love to sue them on this. The very fact that reminder emails only suddenly started after I discovered the kids and complained for me is the same as Tesco admitting guilt.

      Kids –> loss no idea why this text editor is so creative

    Yes , get a helpful club card operator and you’ll be fine. If not ring back and ask the next.

    Good evening J

    Give them a call and ask to have them “rolled back”

    Normally they will do this even if they have run out.

    You need too check with them how much additional time that gives you to spend them.

  O/T In regards to hotels.com, just called Tesco and they said they pulled it last week as there was a technical glitch with issuing voucher codes on the hotels.com end, so they pulled it until they resolve it with hotels.com.

  • Lady London says:

    2 Mar2 March 15:18

    so could they be planning on pulling it after this type of rather worrying excuse, just like another poster mentioned happened with redspottedhanky?

    • meta says:

      2 Mar2 March 17:29

      But in redspottedhanky case they did give some kind of advance warning even though they pulled the partnership earlier then they said after that. I will be cashing in as soon as it is back. If it is not back, I’ll be asking for a compo from Tesco.

  OT: Are we expecting to see a UK Amex Plat travel credit (£200 off £600 spend, etc) this year?

  • Rob says:

    2 Mar2 March 09:53

    I think all bets are off at the moment in terms of what promotions we see.

• Donny says:

  OT – Bonvoy card has new earning rate even for the card applied two weeks ago without any communication. Had a chat with online agent and been told they have updated website so I should know that, ridiculous answer.

  • Rob says:

    2 Mar2 March 09:53

    They can’t do that – you’ve not had 30 days notice. If you didn’t read HFP you wouldn’t have known it was changing.

  • Donny says:

    2 Mar2 March 10:05

    Spoke to the supervisor and even he says that “Your card is showing opened on 26th Feb and the earning starts from the same date. Still I will issue 1000 Goodwill points to compensate for you being contacting us.”

    If my card was opened on 26th then I must applied a few days earlier which at that time old SPG T&C were still applied. Ombudsman here I come.

    • rams1981 says:

      2 Mar2 March 10:15

      I had to raise a formal complaint to AMEX. They chat staff were useless. The supervisor even said if you joined after xx date you are exempt from these changes which I had and then he refused to acknowledge that and continued to say I was only due 2 points per £. Moronic

  Is the Hilton Revolution definitely over?

    I think reports are that Visa is back to 6012

  O/T BAPP – Not due a sign up bonus but £3k tracker is there loud and clear. Is this a sign of getting lucky or just teasing me??

  • TGLoyalty says:

    2 Mar2 March 10:47

    Could be either – have to spend £3k to find out.

    • Stanley says:

      2 Mar2 March 10:56

      oh for sure. gonna hit £10k for the 241 regardless… But the suspense is killing me

      • Shoestring says:

        2 Mar2 March 13:27

        @Stanley – I suppose you didn’t get a March promo spend target & opt into it? – I don’t think they were offered on BAPP but my Gold card has got a new tracker this month showing progress to my £1500 target

        • Stanley says:

          2 Mar2 March 14:16

          Thanks, I do have that on my Plat (that I opted in to). But this BAPP is brand new. Guess I’ll find out if I got lucky in £2995 time.
