  Very late to the party but Happy Christmas! Only been reading this site since June but thanks Rob, Anika and everyone for all the useful tips these past 6 months. Looking forward to my first ever flights on avios in First and CW booked for next year.

  Merry Christmas all and thanks for the helpful advice over the year, the points are getting there and fingers crossed me and the girlfriend will be flying off first class sometime soon.

  Ot – upgraded from gold to platinum charge card. Had the card since mid last week and I haven’t been charged the £450. Does anyone know when it would normally be charged? I know that some people don’t get charged until the end of year one of their gold card.

  Thanks.

      I did indeed use the link above, sent £1000 through Billhop (using the hfp code and had £500 fee free to test the app) which only cost £11.25. 21000 points posted within 2 days.

  OT – regarding the £200 Amex Travel statement credit: do they charge your card at the moment even if booking a refundable rate? I’m asking because it’s time to cancel my Amex Plat and was wondering if I can book, get the credit and then cancel.

  Merry Christmas to Rob and all. I am in New York City for the holidays, used a BA 2 for 1 and flew first class! Wouldn’t have been possible without Rob and HFP! HFP is my first read every morning, and an invaluable resource for me. I was explaining to my other half some of the crazy things I have done to get these flights such as renting a car and parking it in my drive for the weekend haha. All the best for the new year!

  Can you change the xmas break picture? For me, Alex Cruz in a high vis symbolises “nothing is happening here for a couple of days”

  • Rob says:

    26 Dec26 December 12:25

    I am using that picture tomorrow!

      Don’t mind me, Rob, I’m amused that you roll out my picture every year. It reminds me of the good old days when I could actually travel.
      All the best, Charles.

  Merry Xmas Rob, Anelka and all HfP readers from Cartagena, Colombia! I flew down to Panama with Iberia, flying home from Bogota. I echo the comments on Iberia staff although I did like the food Iberia served and the comfortable biz class seat.
  I was planning to use hotels points for most accomodation but managed to get some excellent BRG so will use points on another trip.
