    Hoping to be in Munich for the first time this weekend. Any suggestions for a rainy day there? And good value lunch eateries from the Amex Platinum dining?

    If you like museums there are some decent ones. Can’t recall the name off the top of my head but there’s one which has a treasury with some fabulous medieval crowns and stuff like that!

    BA IT at its finest this morning. Trying to book for next April with the Barclays voucher, departure time is 1 hour 10 mins different on the app v website, it then questions whether the other FF number is correct (added from saved passenger details!) then at the payment page I’m getting the “technical error” message 😩

    I wondered if anyone else has been on a double tier points BA holiday since the 1st of April 2025. Myself and OH had a 5 day trip to Italy returning on Saturday the 26th, booked last year before the executive club changes, on the old system we would have gained 320 tier points having flown from Edinburgh to Heathrow then Italy. At the moment we both have 2135 tier points allocated. Will this be the total or should we expect more points? To chase up or not!!

    You are missing the bonus, should be within 15 days of return, no need to chase yet. I am also waiting for the double TPs.

    When in Munich last year to see Adele we used the dinning credit at Alex, food was good and could have had more drinks to make a better dent in the credit..

    We have had a few trips to Block house (in Berlin) nice steak and cheap as well.

    Edit – they have them all over Germany, not suggesting you go to Berlin.
