  My partner was offered 6000 avios to upgrade in December. Decided to think about it, and then when she phoned back amex denied the offer existed. She insisted amex listen to the original call, and they agreed the offer had been made and honoured the 6000 avios. 241 voucher posted immediately as £10,000 spend exceeded. Upgraded because we weren’t going to hit the £20,000 before March.

  OT Shard food & booze: Set to welcome its first guests on May 6, 2014, Shangri-La London…

  …Perhaps of most interest to Londoners, the hotel’s food and beverage options will include Gong, set to be London’s highest bar when it opens on level 52 of the Shard. Its name is derived from dougong, said by the hotel to be “an ancient Chinese structural element of interlocking wooden brackets that will be a component of the bar’s interior”. On level 35, the signature restaurant is Ting – its name is derived from the Chinese word for a living room – while a ground-floor deli called Láng will serve departing or incoming guests and passing commuters.

  As part of the Shangri-La’s staggered opening, Gong will be fully operational from July 1. Its interior has been conceived by Hong Kong interior designer André Fu, who was behind the design of the Berkeley’s recently opened Opus Suite, and will feature “cinnabar red lacquer panels… and a wall of Chinese cabinets made of galvanised steel. And quite a bit of purple.”

  Level 52 will also house the hotel’s 24-hour gym and an infinity pool which, predictably, is also the highest in London. Although renderings and precise details have yet to be released, Fu has said that “at night, the pool will be part of the bar. It’s high-tech, modern and pretty dramatic – which is what you need if it’s going to become a destination experience.”

  I upgraded my BA Amex last month to get the companion voucher. I asked about the 25K introductory offer but was told there was no bonus for upgrading – just for new applications. However this month I got a 6K Avios bonus – points are credited to my BA Avios account.
