  Sorry really random unrelated question ….

  Can anyone who’s been to Wimbledon this week confirm if they are checking ID?

  My friend has slipped a disk in his back and won’t be able to travel down for Saturday . So I have someone I can transfer the tickets to but the main ticket won’t transfer . It’s a friend and I’m selling for face value so can I just give them my Wimbledon login and let them go pretending to be me ?

  I could give them ID but I have no hair 🙄 and they have a fairly decent amount. – so may be pretty obvious ….. advice appreciated

    Didn’t check our ID but there is a 100% check on covid status and you are given a wristband to prove it so they also need your NHS app login.

  • Babyg says:

    You can only transfer 1 out of 2 tickets. They are checking ID. I would say im 95% sure you wont get in unless your ID matches.

    • Babyg says:

      based on robs reply maybe you have a 50% chance 🙂 and if you fail try another gate.. they defo checked our IDs and names on tickets…

      • Rob says:

        There is no name on the 2nd ticket, only main ticket holder.

        To be honest I thought they would ask for both names when buying but they don’t.

          Ok thanks
          Doesn’t seem worth the risk ;

          just requested a refund via Wimbledon which should go through fine .

          Also called the Bentley in south Ken and regarding our non refundable bookings and they agreed to cancel both rooms x2 nights free of charge .

          Thanks for the help .

  I only have 10% off at Apex hotels. Another interesting question is what card I need to pay to get this (I have 2 cards and the offers kind of cover both as far as I understand but CB will be paid into one of them, it says)

  I have the offer for Ann Summers too. Ewwwww.
  I will never be buying anything from there!

    I’m sure camilla is most grateful for that , more M&S I would have thought don’t forget to go thru shopping portal for extra points Charlie boy. Although I’ve just had a horrible flash back to what you once said about your then mistress 😱

  • Rob says:

    No

  • Andrew says:

    Also had the Pret 20%, that was a £100 Gift Card so morning snacks for a few weeks.
    Sainsbury’s – only got 5%, but have bought £300 of various GCs anyway.
    Matalan – 10%, this should stack with the 20 Nectar Points/£1 on Nectar Connect.

    I’ve another 20+ offers.

  In addition to Costa 10%, I also have Harvey Nichols 10%. Hello Mr Krug! 😊

  I too can only dream of such offers from MBNA Rob. What have I done to upset them?

  • Andrew says:

    7 Jul7 July 12:19

    Do you make at least one transaction daily through it?

    • Rob says:

      7 Jul7 July 12:24

      I put substantial sums on mine, although a lot is US$ transactions for HfP to benefit from the 0% FX fee. It was over £40k last year.

      • Andrew says:

        7 Jul7 July 12:35

        That’s definitely worth it for the 0.5% on £40K.

        Perhaps you need to make a few transactions in stores that are less AB, and more C2DE to trigger offers?

        A quick trip to Poundland (although they take Amex), B&M, Home Bargains or Farmfoods?

    • flyforfun says:

      7 Jul7 July 14:44

      I put less and £30 a month through mine! All spend on Amex, then Lloyds Avios but now that that is dead, this card will get some more spend on it.

• Andrew says:

  7 Jul7 July 12:11

  Just a quick one, there’s more than one kind of Horizon Card. The Horizon card I have that replaced my BMI Amex Card, has the 0.5% fund return but isn’t FX free.

  It’s still very much worth keeping though for the 0.5%

• Eugene says:

  I have just dumped my VA Premium card before the new year fee is applied. Too many points and vouchers to burn thru for a while. Looks like its time to dust the Horizon card down and use that for a bit. Unless ayoe thinks theres a better Visa/MC to own?

    Thanks that was my analysis too. Still finding..07 or .08 IHG nuggets out there with the 100pct promo.
