  Presumably you can stack the WDF voucher with the offer currently running under My Offers?

    Definitely

  For those with a Network Gold Card (i.e. an annual rail season ticket in the old Network South East area or London travelcard) I noticed that the discount now applies to first class tickets too.

  This takes the discounted price of a first class ticket to lower than the undiscounted price of standard class.

  I bought the ticket on the First Great Western site (any National Rail site should work) for collection at the FGW ticket machines in Paddington. The HEX website is still only showing the discount on standard class fares.

  For me this discount puts first class into a price worth paying if there’s a chance the train will be busy. It was hard to justify the full price for first.

  Thanks Yosuke, the Gap voucher can be used at any full price UK or France store – not just London, so even better!

  Someone has paid lots of effort on that page. The Hilton offer says its 2014 but t&c says 2015. BR T&C says “From X to X only”…

  OT bit: Raffles the pay.com update becomes pertinent, they’re everywhere 🙂

  Bought £600 today and there were another £2500 worth on the shelf.

  Split across 2 cards and total works out @ 6120 free avios for my trouble. Plus I have triggered a BA Amex bonus.

    Everywhere except London …. which obviously means they do not exist 🙂

      who…London?

      • bob says:

        They certainly exist in deepest Sticks 🙂

        • Fenny says:

          They have them in *Daventry*, which is about as far from Civilisation As We Know It as you can get!

    • TimS says:

      There’s plenty out east, including in Tesco branches that never previously used to stock them!

  OT Shell – wife put in £50 of diesel to get the £10 statement credit – she got 4x points, ie 1 x normal + 3 x as bonus points. Is that normal @ Shell?

  • Raymond Hennessy says:

    19 Jun19 June 18:38

    I’ve been getting 100 bonus points per week for the last 8 weeks via the Shell app, not earth shattering but every little helps 🙂

  • James67 says:

    19 Jun19 June 18:53

    Was this PRG? I’ve been getting 4x points recently too, was wondering what was going on.

    • TimS says:

      19 Jun19 June 21:38

      You only seem to get 4x if you pay on PRG at the counter. Pay at pump only gets you 1x.

      • James67 says:

        Wasn’t just at shell, currently I’m getting extra points on every spend.

  OT bit my bro told me today about a travel insurance deal he took out when he went to Egypt in 2014 which was £13 a month – through Barclays – which gave an Airport Angel card included. He cancelled the insurance after 1 month. But the Airport Angel card is still valid as they sent him a renewal card for 2015 and he just got a new card with 2016 validity – he showed me the 3 cards. I didn’t ask at the time what the insurance deal was – stupidly – but between us we should be able to find it.

    Worth a go I think

    • bob says:

      Looks like this a/c is easy to sign up for & qualifies for the travel pack http://www.barclays.co.uk/Otheraccounts/Cashcardaccounts/CashCardAccount/P1242557963900

      Been looking for an extra a/c to switch over to Tesco when we get offered 10,000 points in any case

        Airport Lounge Access
        •You’ll be welcomed into 560 selected airport lounges worldwide, where you can start your journey in a relaxed environment
        •You’ll get up to 6 free visits every year, which you can use yourself or share with your immediate family

        This ties in with what he said which was that his daughter got in for free.

        My own Airport Angel card would charge me for guests/ family I think so I was a bit sceptical but it seems he was right.

        • bob says:

          21 Jun21 June 20:05

          In any case, in theory this means 6 of you could get in the lounge for £13.50.

          Raffles you did this https://headforpoints.com/2014/02/01/airport-lounge-access-and-cheap-travel-insurance-via-barclays-premier/

          But I think this current a/c way to access Airport Angel is easier?

        • Rob says:

          21 Jun21 June 20:58

          Need to look at this again, thanks

          You going to run it Raffles?

  […] PS.  Remember that, until June 30th, Star Alliance Gold members get a free Heathrow Express First Class upgrade just by showing their car… […]
