I have just booked my first upper class virgin flight, the cabin is practically empty so I can have any seat I want – I have selected 1K – anybody any other suggestions on which seat to pick?
- Louise says:

  depends on aircraft, some seats face the back of the middle row. Check out advice on vflyer forum

  Further at the back will be closer to the bar area where people sometimes like to hang out and closer to the toilets.

O/T (and apologies if I’ve missed this being mentioned before) but my BAPP is showing 18k Avios for referrals. Always thought it was 9k which is what I got for a couple in mid November.

Also saying I can earn an additional 90k on top of the existing cap until 31/01/19.
- Mark2 says:

  mine is till showing 9,000.
  Do you mean referring BAPP from Platinum?
  - MattyS says:
    
    5 Dec5 December 13:32
    
    No, it’s referrals from my BAPP card. Specifically states 18,000 Avios, whereas on the separate screen referrals from my Plat says 18,000 MR. The last referral points I got from BAPP less than three weeks ago got me 9k.

OT
re ShopSmall and emails
This morning I used a number of cards at a shop; all went through the same till.
I started using the PIN but changed to contactless. I have received emails for the purchases using PIN but not the others. Also another shop which uses a less common card handling company does not trigger emails.

My extensive experience over a number of years is that receipt of emails and of statement credits are unconnected.
- Mark2 says:
  
  5 Dec5 December 15:04
  
  since I wrote this three credits have posted for purchases which did not trigger email.

O/T just been charged £10 for withdrawing £200 on my curve, with virgin card underlying.
- Rich says:
  
  5 Dec5 December 14:55
  
  When was the transaction, and did the charge show up on your recent transactions, or only when your statement was produced?
  
  Took cash out on 28/11 and it’s showing as a purchase. Took cash out today (still pending, obviously) too.
  - Ben says:
    
    5 Dec5 December 15:43
    
    Online, recent transactions. Shows as cash advance
    - Ben says:

      Withdrew cash on Monday!
- Anna says:

  £10! Is that the usual Virgin Ts and Cs?
  - paulm says:
    
    5 Dec5 December 16:14
    
    Yeah 5% of transaction

  VM are clamping down on ¨cash like¨ transactions
  - lev441 says:
    
    5 Dec5 December 16:35
    
    Don’t like the sound of that… Is that from personal experience Genghis?
  - Simon says:
    
    5 Dec5 December 17:08
    
    are business services also treated this way?
- Louise says:
  
  5 Dec5 December 15:28
  
  Interesting. My statement issued on 3rd Dec and no charges, took this months £200 our yesterday, still pending
- Rob says:

OT, £10 off GAP offer. I placed 2 orders on 2 cards on the same day but only 1 lot of £10 has posted. I am assuming this is because the 2nd order appears to have been charged in 2 transactions by GAP, both under £30, which is annoying! Is it worth appealing to Amex via chat?
- Anna says:
  
  5 Dec5 December 15:26
  
  Incidentally, I appealed via chat re my never-appearing 500 bonus avios recently (3rd time) and they have finally added them manually.
  - Roger says:
    
    5 Dec5 December 19:55
    
    Same here.
    
    Will contact Amex if the offer does not post.
    My Oder was split up due to GAP deciding to use different delivery company
- Alan says:
  
  5 Dec5 December 23:54
  
  Absolutely worth appealing, esp when you made it in one order and they’ve just split the payments.

OT, Looking to use a 241 BA voucher to Bangkok. Anyone know if this is hard redemption to find even at 355days out?
- Anna says:
  
  5 Dec5 December 16:01
  
  Probably depends on when you want to go, though I think it is a popular one, both as a destination and as a connecting airport for onward flights to Australia etc.
- Mark2 says:
  
  5 Dec5 December 17:08
  
  you can monitor it on BA Redemption Finder
- PointsChaser says:
  
  5 Dec5 December 18:06
  
  From my experience if you want to fly Dec – Mar, this is a difficult redemption. If you do a rewards availability search on the BA site and do a full year search for 2 seats, you will see that seats for the good weather months in Thailand are scarce.

  I got my family all to BKK and back with Avios & 2-4-1 in club. Early Aug out Early Sept back. We actually spent most of our time in central Vietnam where the weather was great..
