Case closed!

Albeit a strange one.

I asked the hotel reception team to share some further details of my “gold” status and points.

When they dug a bit deeper they noticed the account was not in my name! And was a fraudulent account added to the booked for the purpose of gaining points and status. the staff member told me its most likely been added at time of bookimg by a third party.

They cancelled the membership immediately, the hotel staff did look pretty pissed off and said this happens now and again and is very annoying.

So I’m thinking easy come, easy go, no worries. also the hanover stay must of been pure coincidence

But I did ask what’s the name on the fraudulent account….they gave me the name and the email!

It was a British Airways email address…I wont share the name on here.

Alls well, that ends well as the staff member offered me a further 2 free drinks from the bar (ontop of my welcome drinks I received as a gold /not gold member) for my troubles.
