  When I try to register with Heathrow Rewards using the link, the promo code does not appear. In fact it asks for the card number of the recommender.

  Any thoughts?

  • Rob says:

    Type in the promo code manually. There is a BA version of the code as well if you look at ba.com.

  Anyone know if the vouchers they send you for £5 are really tied to a particular card?

  In other words could I lump together vouchers from two cards?

  Doubt you get points when using vouchers – would be nice!

  • TGLoyalty says:

    You get the points. In fact you earn the points on the value before the voucher.

    Ive only used the voucher with the card it wasn’t issued to but the voucher has the name/card number on it so if the cashier looked they’d see they were all for different people.

    You don’t need to show your card to use them unless you get a cashier that is demanding

  if you have premium status do you get double the points ?

  OT sorry: Amex Plat Hertz codes. Are both 633306 and 211762 OK for a UK card? I’m getting a better rate using the latter.

  • Max says:

    1 Oct1 October 09:50

    Probably. Hertz care little about the rate used. Not sure which rate I am using and it doesn’t say in the profile, so I can’t tell you. Unless there is a way to find out.

  • Alan says:

    Must say I mainly use the latter. Often works very well, esp with the extra 4h allowance. Equally other times they’re just ludicrously overpriced and better going elsewhere. I’ve had some very keenly priced SUV rentals with them tho.

  • Jovanna says:

    Check both and scroll through all vehicles. You might find a sweet spot on what you would expect to be a higher priced car.

  Is there any reason to think that buying something and then returning it for a refund at a different store (ie a high street location) might allow a refund without the points being taken back? …asking for a friend 🙂

  • Chris says:

    Highly unlikely to work, the refund will reduce your MR balanced I’d have thought?

  • Kai says:

    1 Oct1 October 16:36

    Any refund to the card leads to a point reduction.

      HR points?

    • KevMc says:

      1 Oct1 October 20:00

      I’m talking about the Heathrow Reward points, not the Amex Membership Reward points

      • Shoestring says:

        Worth a try, their systems are probably not that sophisticated. To lose the points, HR would have to be tracking that particular purchase (@ – say – Dixons) & get the information that it had been returned. Pretty sure Dixons shouldn’t be giving that information to 3rd parties. You might do equally well buying something airside then returning it 30 mins later – buyer’s regret.

      • MikeMcM says:

        1 Oct1 October 20:28

        I’m sure that info is shared between eg Dixon’s and HAL – its a basic audit requirement, and how do you think you get the points in the first place?

      • Genghis says:

        1 Oct1 October 20:31

        I’d suspect a one way feed from Dixon’s LHR to HR, not full access by HR to Dixon’s systems.

      • Shoestring says:

        1 Oct1 October 20:43

        Same suspicion here – HR card is scanned at till/ point of purchase. It collects date, time, purchase amount, location etc. No other information would pass between Dixons & HR after that.

  • mr dee says:

    1 Oct1 October 21:34

    The Heathrow Rewards system is separate and they use a different POS machine to allocate the points, if you have ever dealt with Dixons retail stores you will probably know their systems are not cutting edge technology….

  Not bits but LHR-related. Aspire Reward scheme now launched – app-based, earn 50 pts per visit per guest. 500pts for free lounge visit (although can’t just give card to someone else like before) and 700 pts for £5 gift voucher at M&S, Amazon, Debenhams, Pizza Express, John Lewis.

  Collected 50pts in EDI this morning no problem but LHR T5 then refused saying they hadn’t heard of it. Twitter team then confirmed that lounge is excluded.

  Not particularly exciting TBH. Apols if already covered but couldn’t remember seeing it mentioned.

    Great, thanks Alan.

  • the_real_a says:

    Do we know if Priority Pass entries get the points? 🙂

    • Rob says:

      1 Oct1 October 16:52

      Yes you do.

      4 points per £1 if you pay cash, 50 points if you use a card.

• mr dee says:

  Probably can but does anyone know if flying domestic say London to Manchester will I still be allowed to purchase from Dixons Travel?

  • Jovanna says:

    1 Oct1 October 21:33

    Yes, you can.

    • mr dee says:

      1 Oct1 October 21:42

      thx

  I’m about £25 away from reaching Heathrow Rewards Premium and am thinking of buying a something from Tiffany and Co for around £400 that’ll take me into premium. My question is, should I wait until I hit the £750 spend before making the £400 purchase? Or would that purchase count as the Premium tier. Equally, if I spend the £25 on the same day before the £400 would that also count?

  • Norman says:

    In the T&Cs it says that the extra points apply from the transaction after you qualify for Premium- so yes better to make a smaller one first. I think the same day won’t matter, they should be time stamped.
