  I’m starting to lose track what’s new and what isn’t.

  M Restaurants – Get 15% back up to £1,500…

  Do many people spend £10,000 in a single sitting at M Restaurants?

    It would be fascinating reading if somebody expects more than £225 back, Amex disagree, and it goes to MCOL!

    I think they are trying to get that x-mas party spend.
    Same with the 15% back at Gaucho

  I got the £100 spend get 1500 avios which is odd as this is not an issue at this time of year to achieve.

  I did not get the Fenwick deal. I suspect that having used such a deal in the past I am excluded this time.

  I have always assumed that they are estimating is what will generate additional spend, rather than what will reward loyalty.
  The marketing types may have spots of naivety in not realising that a Spending Decision Unit may have multiple cards in different names.
  Or they may be incredibly sophisticated using other information about your household to predict such things.

  Annoyed that BA are tapping up GOL, which is like Ryanair. Would prefer a tie up with Azul.

    Have you flown with them? I thought it was gonna be Easyjet, but they give out free snacks, not just one; you get to take a bag of crisps, sweets, and nuts. And also a drink (non-alcoholic). Azul was cool because they had in-seat IFE (10 channel TV) bit that was about it. Funny to watch Friends dubbed in Portuguese though.

  I will put my tin hat on and say that the apostrophe debate comes under the category of “grammar”, and not literature.

    Oh God, yes! It’s amazing how this country’s English teachers are all Literature graduates who struggle to explain the use of the semi-colon. That’s why punctuation is so wrong these days.

      “why punctuation is incorrectly used these days.”
      B-
      See me after class 🙂

  It’s not all algorithm based. Some offers are randomised – that’s one way to find what the customer’s choices are, especially when they are reluctant to spend.

  Please tell me that’s something you made up, and we’re not really referred to as “Spending Decision Units” by marketers 😀 😀 .

    I liked that too 🙂

    I can see some people referring to “her indoors” as the “Spending Decision Unit” or “the SDU”, as well !

  The £100 for 1500 avios appeared on my app but not on my wife’s. (separate account.)
  Which is a bit odd, except we’ve been using her card most of the time to achieve the 10k in a year. So maybe they think she doesn’t need it.
