  Off Topic, but please bear with me. If you get hotel status with the Amex Platinum, say SPG Gold. This would normally take you 10 stays or 25 nights. To then reach platinum status, do you only need the incremental 15 stays/25 nights, or the full 25 stays/50 nights this would otherwise require?

    Full 25/50 I’m afraid. You get gold but you’re not gifted the stays/nights you need to get gold

    • JamesB says:

      Yes, correct, just logged in to check my qualification meter and it states 25/50.

      That’s what I suspected, but thanks for the confirmation. 🙁

  Mine was 8% for Turkey, ME and Africa only. Got the 10% Morrisons max £10, and also 10% Waitrose, max £30.

    Hilton must be going on a blitz then- I have a Santander offer for 8% off for Turkey, Africa, and ME stays too!

  OT for those who read blog by Dave Stringer the HFP reader who was using his Avios for travels following a lung cancer diagnosis, he now has a link on the blog for the Roy Castle Lung cancer charity. A reminder of how insignificant most of our problems are.

    Thanks Zoe.

    Here’s the link. I seem to have hit target in less than 24 hours. Any opportunity to blitz target is appreciated.

  Is this for Halifax account holders or on their credit card accounts?

  Thanks

    It’s valid for Debit & Credit card use. Just log-in either via desktop site or app and check your offers.

    If you have both BoS and Halifax accounts it’s worthwhile logging in under both sites (should be the same log-in and password) as the offers can differ between the brands.

  Only 5% @ Morrisons on mine. 20% at Funky Pigeon, though! 🙂

  OT: I’ve got it in my head that if you’re BAEC gold then you can also have Hilton Honors gold but can’t find anything to support that – have I imagined this?
  Or have I got myself mixed up with being a BA gold guest list getting you Honors diamond?!

  • Rob says:

    15 Feb15 February 10:29

    The latter.

  O/T data point:

  I had Hilton Gold (via AMEX Plat), applied for status match using my IHG Platinum, and they have matched me to Diamond.

  Question though, do I need 8 stays or 8 nights to retain it?

  • Lee says:

    stays
