  I know others have, I am due my 3rd booking next week to hit the spend

    BTW Jovanna and other regular renters… have found that Hertz Australia and CDP 211762 (Amex Plat code) still the cheapest method for booking car hires in the UK?

    • Louie says:

      I usually find Hertz USA (+ the Amex Plat code) cheaper than Australia though the last booking was cheaper through Oz.

    • Jovanna says:

      I use 633306 as the Amex Plat code for the CDP and WOW in the Rate Code. Changing to Australia doesn’t always work for me, particularly when renting in mainland Europe. Just had a good one-way price from Heathrow, using the above and Australia as the country. Unfortunately, I’m very pressed for time following my next couple of flights and, for speed, it’s quicker to rent Avis from T5 rather than trek around to Hertz.

      I’ll make a note of 211762 and give it a go soon.

  How on earth would Amex know if you bought a Harrods gift card? Surely it would be only if you paid through a different merchant account.

  Is it possible that the Harrods tills can utilise different merchant accounts through the same chip&pin device, and send to a different account for gift cards?

  Or Rob, was your gift card purchase done at the Harrods Rewards concierge? (who may well use a different merchant account).

    No, I bought it in the toy department, on its own. Absolutely no idea why it failed to track.

      I managed to successfully put it through on three different Amex cards last time. Let me see how I get on tomorrow

  O/T but Virgin miles related. Just found out that 8k points for opening a Virgin Money ISA last June have never posted. The site to claim back miles has a link to everyone possible partner apart from Virgin Money. Any advice welcome on the best way to claim back these miles. Thanks

  OT – which Amex-accepting retailers sell B & Q vouchers, have some decorating planned? No joy in my local Boots and Smith’s.

  OT:
  Hubby upgraded from PRG to platinum. Prior to this he had cancelled my supplementary card ( about 3 weeks before upgrade). Ticked no supp during application. Annoyingly they have sent me a supp card even though I was no longer a supp on his gold. This messed our plan to add one later for bonus.
  Anyone had same experience? Options?

  • brenda says:

    More or less the same experience here.
    I only found out the supp was still current when they charged me £170 for a second supp.
    So:-
    Open a CHAT and cancel the supp.
    Wait until letter arrives, or contact chat again to confirm it’s gone.
    Then apply again.
    Worked for me.

  OT: clarification please. I have booked a city break with BA holidays for 3 of us, travelling ET from ABZ-LHR-VIE. I have BAEC Silver status, the other 2 are Bronze. The BA itinerary ( with all our names) tells me each pax. is allowed 2×23 kgs ( very generous, not that we need it for 4 nights away!) and also gives info on where to access Lounges. Do I take it that all 3 of us get into the lounges as it is my booking, or is it just me + guest.? If that’s the case , do you think the Lounge Ladies would let 3rd person in ….if I ask nicely? ( hubby just recently soft landed to bronze at end of April).
  Thanks

    Baggage yes, lounge no. Strictly applied.

  I priced a one way flight using miles from London to Belfast and it shows a price of £27.30 + 4000 Miles in economy. However when I price it as a return it’s £35 + 8000 as I expected. Anytime I’ve booked a one way fare in the Uk before it’s priced as £17.50. Has something changed?

  • Rob says:

    3 May3 May 19:32

    Weird. If you’ve earned 1 Avios in the past year it should be £17.50.

    • Go says:

      3 May3 May 19:52

      Definitely earned some plus big amex transfers. Going to run it through another family account and see if that works

      • Go says:

        3 May3 May 20:01

        Same on the other account although there the only activity has been Amex transfers. Is it a rolling 12 months activity, calendar or something else?

  OT Has a new Plat always been 35k points?
