  I can confirm it does work on BA holidays – paid a balance yesterday after saving the offer and got the Amex email confirming offer used this morning.

  O/T. Travelling on Eurostar to Brussels tomorrow from St Pancras at 0901. I see that the latest guidance is to be at the station 90 minutes before check-in. This seems inordinately long. Anyone recently travelled this route? I hold an EU passport FWIW.

  Thanks.

    Ask in the forums, not here. Them’s the rules.

      There is no Eurostar thread. But thanks for your ‘contribution’.

    Eurostar has been 100% sold out in recent weeks. I was at St Pancras at the weekend and the Eurostar check-in queue stretched out to the new Google HQ / German Gymnasium restaurant. That’s a LONG way.

      Thanks Rob. Duly forewarned.

      Reason alone to travel Business Premier.

        Indeed. Travelling Standard Premier which doesn’t help unfortunately.

          Travelled that route mid afternoon on 13 July, and it was heaving. Arrived 105 mins ahead of departure: separate queues for each train, and we had to wait 15 mins before our queue opened. We were going straight to the lounge with our Plat cards, but that doesn’t help with the queuing as like you were Standard Premier (and aren’t Carte Blanche) so couldn’t use the priority lanes on the right. I do wonder if I’d “accidentally” joined the wrong queue (for a earlier departure), whether that would have resulted in a quicker check-in, or if I’d have then ended up further back in the correct queue….

          Separately, re your comment on Xero in yesterday’s chat thread – yes, it’s aimed a company use. Whilst I’ve not used it for your user-case, Xero is great, and really user friendly (I’ve been using it for c6+ years).

          If you’d started a new thread rather than used the chat thread (which should be binned) we could build this conversation over days without bouncing all rounf the site; just sayin 😉

          Yes it’s nominally aimed at companies – although this includes tiny sole trader and village-hall type operations (potentially running out of a personal bank account) so there’s definitely crossover to personal banking. Personal credit card feeds and bank accounts integrate no problem at all.
          +1 that it’s very easy to use which is its biggest strength.

      ^ This. Have seen some massive queues there lately. Every train is rammed solid. Get there early, but not too early as they do enforce the “check in not open yet”. Expect it to be heaving trainside as well, grab your food and drinks before going through.

  Not on my BAPP and Amex chat service claims it’s targeted and I won’t get it.

  Thanks for the tip Rob,Saved to BAPP card, Shame I booked a tier point run a couple of weeks ago, Damn,
  I’ll have to spend a little more I guess….

  I got this offer yesterday, saved it and booked a flight in September.

  Other half has the free one and he got £200 spend for 1,000 Avios yesterday.

    Amazing that you can travel through time. What’s the secret?
    … booked a flight FOR September 🙃

• Chas says:

  Offer saved on both our (primary) BAPP cards, but isn’t showing on either of our supps.

  Mmhhhh … I have a BA Holiday that will most certainly need to be cancelled (BA removed one of the flights and I don’t think they will agree to my new dates months from now). So could I pay £200 into it, trigger the Avios, and then get a refund? hehehehe…..

  • AJA says:

    3 Aug3 August 10:32

    But if you cancel for a refund the Avios will be clawed back along with the Avios you earned on the initial purchase so what’s the point in doing that?

• Matt says:

  Not got the offer on my BAPP. Is this a targeted offer, or one everyone should have?

  • Rob says:

    3 Aug3 August 10:01

    May have hit the registration cap. 40,000 doesn’t go far given our readership.

    • jk says:

      3 Aug3 August 11:42

      I just got it at 1130am

      • yorkieflyer says:
