  Try that again: If the Uber Avios post immediately, can any non-recipient of the offer e-mail report successfully booking a ticket and receiving the bonus?

  • Rob says:

    T&C say bonus Avios will post in arrears.

      Ah. Thanks. Booked the Lichfield adult trip at £1.10. We shall see.

  Ebay and Esso are still pretty keen on Nectar it seems?

  • Nick says:

    I tend to plan Esso fuel spends around their 10X Nectar points offers, which crop up every couple of months or so. Alternatively, they just had 250 bonus Nectar for a 25 litres+ purchase.

      I only usexthem if there’s a really, really good bonus offer, or for a small fill if nothing else around.
      I find they’re generally 12-18p a litre more than Sainsbury, so possibly paying £8-£12 more to get something like £1.50 back doesn’t work for me.

        I Always make sure I have a nearly empty fuel tank for when I regularly pass a Costco fuel station. Costo fuel all the fuel additives as all the main stream fuel stations. Unleaded at present is £1.36 Per litre and diesel is £1.42. Per litre I am lucky to pass 2 stores regularly on my travels.

    200 Esso stations are still part of Clubcard and don’t issue Nectar points!

    eBay is the one bright hope at the moment I agree.

      All the Esso stations around here are EG, which means that we get Nectar on shop purchases as well, at double the Sainsbury’s rate.
      Given that the shops are all slowly converting to ASDA, though, I can see that changing in the future.

  Currently 5% on MBNA

  And 5% on Airtime – but the t&c for that are now a minimum £75 spend.

  • Chrisasaurus says:

    £70 I think but watch out for this, min spend is a new one on me

    • BA Flyer IHG Stayer says:

      3 May3 May 14:13

      Yes 70.

      But yes the minimum spend is definitly new. But easily got round by bouying vouchers and locking the cash back in rather than relying on there being no offer when you need it.

  Anyone else always getting a “technical difficulties” message when they try to link uber/BA? Been trying for months and always the same message.

  “Remember that all train operators, except Eurostar, can be booked via the LNER website”

  Sadly the Sail Rail fares to Dublin don’t appear on the LNER website – the destination does, but no fares ever show up.

  I know it’s an edge case, but damn annoying to have to trek over to Kings Cross to get the 10% discount with an in person booking!

  If anybody knows any staff at LNER who can get the Sail Rail fares loaded – please do ask them!

  Made some bookings for the offer but can’t say I was impressed with the functionality of it. Visibility of some ticket choices seemed limited (or at least forced a decision based on timetable rather than showing all ticket types).

  Worth it for the credit and avios, but not a winner for me ongoing.

  • MPC says:

    I found the interface was average but the real pain is there’s no way to add the ticket to Apple Wallet. That’s basic functionality in 2023 and an instant no deal from me!

• Nick says:

  It might be worth booking an adult ticket for £3.00, just to make sure the T&C’s are adhered to. The first clause on the email states “This offer is open to users that are 18 or over, and who have an active British Airways Executive Club (“BAEC”) and a valid Uber account”.

  I suspect it won’t matter, but just to be safe!

    You need to be 18+ (the person who books)

  Best have a word with the person who has their hand up his back making his lips move 😂😂
