    OK the Gatwick website had me thoroughly perplexed this morning.

    No way at all to get the 10% discount to apply that ‘should’ just be applied for MyGatwick members.

    Edit: … finally found it on desktop mode only!

    Can someone kindly confirm that it is the usual BA reward ticket fees that apply for changes or cancellations on partner airlines, paid with Avios through the BA site?
    In this instance, China Southern.

    Thanks.

    Yes, the £35 fee is for any airline redemption via BA.com. For what it’s worth, have you looked at CZ cash fares? They are often very cheap/good value and if you book via eg Trip.com, you can easily see the optimum time to book looking at the calendar.

    Regarding Curve Customer Service

    Misplaced my card on Saturday somewhere in Vegas and immediately froze it. Got back to where it could have been, and it wasn’t there. So, declared it lost

    Immediately added new card details to Apple and Garmin (yes, Curve is one of a small handful of cards supported by Garmin) pay, and, this morning, a new card has dropped through the door.

    VERY impressed.

    Agreed – they were very quick to sort when I lost my card as well. Very refreshing!
