  Buying a few points could be a useful way of hitting the £10k spend on a BAPP for some people.

    Paying by Amex will incur FX fees, better to go through Curve backed by MC/Visa.

      Ordinarily, that would be the best way to carry out foreign currency transactions. But currently as I’m staying at home spending very little, it’s going to be a struggle to hit £10k on my BAPP, so I might do something like this nearer the time.

      Similar fee to using Billhop to reach a target. My year doesn’t end until February though, so I might just pay next year’s Council Tax in advance.

      I have been my water rates by Amex, but when Santander restructure the 123 incentives this will lose me 3% also

        Sounds a good plan Nick.

  Hilton offer seems to be at 15,000 points + this time? Think the article is incorrect.

    Sorry? Your point isn’t clear.

    • Dave says:

      You have to buy a minimum of 15k points to get a 100% bonus this time

      • Dan says:

        Yes, that’s correct. Is it different for different members?

  If the new Stansted trains are standard class only, it is likely (I haven’t checked) that the timetable will show all Stansted Expresses as standard class only, which means if you get an “old” train with first class accommodation, it will be declassified to Standard class.

  Anyone been to the Waldorf Astoria Maldives?
  Love sunshine and relaxing but need to go June or September. What is the weather like at that time?
  Thanks in advance.

    Booking WA would be going in Feb/March.
    Reviews are very good, only drawbacks are expensive boat transfer and island not yet established much.
    Give it a year and will be fine..

  IHG are running a deal on AMB sign ups. If you sign up you get a free night voucher on top of everything else for one stay at an IC. Could be handy for those that have a cheap IC stay coming up but plans to travel to more expensive places in 2021.

  Currently the most on the drop down is 80K + 80K bonus. I cant see any option for 160K?

  • Rob says:

    5 Aug5 August 21:55

    Have you already bought 80k? I see a max of 90k + 90k because I bought 70k earlier in the year.

      No? Perhaps I need to play around a bit on some different web browsers?
