  Be careful of over spend if buying for your kids to use.

  I got a few of the fx cards via groupon in September £35 top up ~ £25 free money.
  Mrs xcalx used it for petrol yesterday filled the tank £74.56 this put the card into a negative balance. She said the card showed £99 credit.

    Not a smart move if you used it on the pay at pump where a pre auth is done…

  OT: Nectar double up at Sainsburys is coming back. Pertinent dates for exchanging points for vouchers…

  Exchange your points for a £10, £20 or £50 voucher either online between 29 October – 4 November or instore between 5 – 18 November 2018.

    Does this mean you get 1p a point, usable in store?

    Limits?

    • Shoestring says:

      11 Oct11 October 11:39

      oh right, limit is £200 & can spend on Taste the Difference wines

        I think you are relatively new to Nectar IIRC Harry so take care. As you will guess, getting a real 1p value is more difficult than it seems. For example wine and toy offers running now or soon will likely dry up. before double up. Also, if this is run as before there will be a limit on how much you can spend in each department, I think it was £40 last year. I have not yet had a chance to look at detail this year.

  We have an issue, because these are speculative articles but I know the facts – but I have agreed not to wrote about it yet. It is not going to be quite what some people are expecting though.

  • Genghis says:

    When are you able to write about it?

    • Rob says:

      11 Oct11 October 15:58

      Probably not until launch day.

  What is Langham’s footprint?

  • Rob says:

    11 Oct11 October 08:27

    Mainly Asia, with a strong HK focus. The London one is an outlier. A slightly less posh Shangri La, basically.

  OT – SPG Amex missing points
  Noticed total points change in my SPG/Marriott account this morning. Can’t see anything from actives yet, and definitely not all my missing points though. Worth have a look!

    How odd. I have exactly 15000 points added an was waiting for less than 300. Listed as goodwill adjustment so comp of some description.

    Yesterday amex chat supervisor credited me 5000 comp for ongoing issues. 20k not bad given I’m not hugely impacted.

      “Yesterday amex chat supervisor credited me 5000 comp for ongoing issues. 20k not bad given I’m not hugely impacted.”

      I would say more than generous as you were pursuing less than £1 worth of points 🙂

        I doubt they’ll top Lloyds in the comp stakes but safe to say I’ll now patiently await my miniscule point drop. ????

        I just contacted them on chat for the second time (last asked about 2.5 weeks ago and got told 2-4 weeks, same as today) – asked about compo and was told:
        “I am sorry to inform you that there is no compension due to this delay because we have transferred the points to your SPG partner account but they have not posted to your partner account as of now”. Told them that my agreement was with amex not spg and this was not what I expect with a card that has an annual fee. No success. May try again in a few days!

    Wife has just had 276 points added to her new Marriott account, showing up on statement as “Spg Ax Uk Base Spend Cnsmr”.
    That 276 corresponds to a 3 spend total on SPG card 7th – 11th Sept.
    Haven’t put any spend on the card since then due to merger issues, but she still has some points missing pre 7th Sept. No sign of any compo though…

  • Lee says:

    Turns out that’s my points for Sep. Looks like the link works again although my Jul and Aug points still missing

    • KevMc says:

      +1

      My wife’s October points have arrived today, having swept over a day or two ago. Still no sign of August or September as yet, though…but at least it is looking more positive!

  • Alan says:

    No change to my total yet.
    Marriott International finally replied to my DM after 5 days, trying to escalate complaint with them – totally chaotic!

  Tried the Langham link to HSBC site on an Ipad , input number but it insists on indenting to the second numeric box so it can not take the first six digits of my Prem card number , good old HSBC tech , tried a couple of different browsers no luck .

  ot – anyone have any idea how long it takes for hsbc to post the uber credit when purchasing flights on the premier credit card?

  • Rob says:

    11 Oct11 October 08:43

    Never, if you booked after 30th September – wasn’t that the last day?

  • philip says:

    11 Oct11 October 10:09

    I think any credit had to be used by 1st of November , mine was a different deal from Premier but it gave me the impression they were not co operating with Uber any more , but that is speculation on my part

  Is the FX rate competitive when the card is loaded?
