  I’ve managed to bag a brace of tickets, I hadn’t previously transferred, link was accepted in about a minute and after logging out and back in to Emirates the miles had arrived.

  Funny that both games are charged the same amount of miles.

    Ticket prices are the same for both matches so it makes perfect sense

  That’s a decent deal for the standard tickets, shame we are away that weekend

  NatWest has been using Dragon Pass for a few years on their Reward Black Account. The account also offers comprehensive travel insurance and no FX fees on the debit card or the black rewards Mastercard. Rewards earned on the account (1% at supermarkets, 0.5% everywhere else, plus £10 a month for having a couple of direct debits set up) can be redeemed for Avios at less than 1p per Avio. I’m surprised you never highlight this account, Rob. It offers many of the benefits of Amex Platinum at lower cost, if you meet the eligibility criteria.

    How good is the travel insurance? Do they cover existing conditions for additional cost? Can we get lounge passes for family members like Amex plat?

    Website says..

    “£9 a month back in Rewards on 2 Direct Debits – they need to be at least £4.50 each”

    Do they need to be monthly DD’s or are annual ones fine?

    • David says:

      Yes the need to be monthly. The payments are linked to two active DDs per month.

    NatWest asked him not to IIRC

      The same would presumably be the case with HSBC products, however I doubt earning opportunities are equally matched

    I’ve been a NatWest Black customer for years even though I’ve never met the requirements, I was invited when I had a Gold account. The benefits are excellent and I too don’t know why it’s not featured more often on this site. For £21 a month net you get a Dragonpass, mobile phone insurance for the whole family, worldwide travel insurance, Green flag cover, discounted cinema tickets, 25% cash back on concert tickets, discount and upgrade to Meet & Greet airport parking… I’m about to cancel my Platinum card as it offers me very little more than what I already have at half the cost and when I did travel regularly to Europe for work, pre Brexit, I usually couldn’t use the hotel status anyway as the corporate rate I’d been booked in on didn’t allow it.

  Can you purchase 2 tickets for other family members and not be attending yourself?

  • MattB says:

    T&cs for football tickets in the UK usually say non transferable but in reality I’ve never had to show ID for any of the 1000+ games I’ve been to from conference level to champions league finals.

    • MattB says:

      At Wembley you just need to scan the ticket in a reader, so no human checks

  Nice tip on the Bonovoy redemptions changing – managed to save total of 50K miles on upcoming stays. Thanks !

    My 480,000 10-night stay went up overnight on D Day to 560,000. Cash price is £630pn so I am delighted I locked it in.

    I saved 35k on bookings for Sydney. My hotel in Santorini went from the 340k I paid for 5 nighs to 450k. So many hotels are going to be out of easy reach in future

    I was a few thousand points short for my trip to Australia in December. Now I have 33,000 in the bank. Also currently staying at a Marriott so more to come. Lovely Jubbly!!
