  can’t see the Bremont on my amex plat sadly

  • Charlie says:

    12 Mar12 March 14:47

    Same, also not on my SPG / Nectar / BA amex cards too.

    • Philip White says:

      13 Mar13 March 21:58

      Not on my Plat Charge, Plat Credit or BAPP. Has anybody seen it other than Rob?

• Craig says:

  Just emailed them, the standard case would attract 3000, this offer would only be 750.

  • Shoestring says:

    12 Mar12 March 15:13

    aha! I guess they make the rules

    we got 3000 several times in the past so can’t complain if they are trying not to lose quite so much money on the loss leaders 🙂

  • EwanG says:

    @Craig. They’ve offered 3000 bonus miles regularly for the first purchase in the past, no reason for them not to do this again in the future so hold out for that rather than the 750 for your first purchase.

    • Shoestring says:

      12 Mar12 March 17:04

      I had a check and 3000 on first case seems to have disappeared as an offer for now

  OT: I got a confirmation from iberia that my details have been deleted, tried logging in and didn’t work.
  The way to delete all data and close account is through one of the drop-down options on contact us.

  • JPK says:

    Was that with a negative Avios balance?

    • Shoestring says:

      12 Mar12 March 16:15

      GDPR route will get your data erased & a/c closed – but what happens if IAG join up the IB & BAEC points platforms in the future? Does your negative IB balance suddenly reappear in an amalgamated points a/c?

      • Optimus Prime says:

        Are we sure they delete all data and are not allowed to keep anything at all to prevent fraud?

        I know that matched bettors that have been ‘gubbed’ are asking bookies to delete all personal data but they have refused – they keep some information to prevent you from opening a new account and be eligible for signup bonuses, promotions, etc.

      • Shoestring says:

        12 Mar12 March 20:05

        Iberia are up front about that, also telling you that they will keep essential data possibly needed for future legal reasons. [Plenty of case studies on FT.]

        In theory that shouldn’t mean you stay recorded as a minus 90K Avios account.

        But I doubt it.

        @Optimus Prime never head of “gubbed”. I’m gonna start using it. I’ve been gubbed from a few bookies during my matches betting days. In particular, the Bet365 champions league offers were amazing.

        • Alan says:

          Lol not heard of it in a betting context before, up here it means being really tired (see Scottish vernacular meaning)!

      • Optimus Prime says:

        13 Mar13 March 09:23

        @Genghis – Oh really? On the other hand I never heard of matched betting until you mentioned it here around summer 2017. I also miss my bet365 account 🙁

      • Alex Sm says:

        13 Mar13 March 22:32

        @genghis out of curiousity – was it really so lucrative and profitable (at least in short term) or is it another scam and a way to lose money and enrich services like Profit Accumulator etc?

    • Jtz says:

      13 Mar13 March 10:24

      Yes, and like Genghis pointed out the email said they may keep details for legal reasons

• Jus says:

  I would have loved the Bremont offer, i would have walked into the store and paid on 4 diff cards.

  • James says:

    12 Mar12 March 21:57

    Anyone want to club together, buy a watch and flog it on ebay ?!

• Harvey says:

  OT.
  Travelling abroad with the following CC cards. Which are most beneficial to use?(I think they are all with a FX fee)
  Plat
  Gold
  Bapp
  Spg
  Virgin+

  • Waddle says:

    12 Mar12 March 16:10

    Virgin when paired with Curve becomes fee-free FX & points earning.

  • TGLoyalty says:

    12 Mar12 March 16:16

    If you don’t care about the 3% fee Gold earns double MR

    If you are staying at an SPG property you would also get double but thats the same inside or outside the UK.

  OT: Have just (17:31) had email from Hilton Honors saying they’ve just matched my status & I need to complete 8 stays in 90 days to maintain Diamond.
  Most peculiarly I already was Diamond, which was due to expire end of March 2020 & hadn’t applied for any match or extension or anything.
  Anyone else getting such oddity?

  • Craig says:

    12 Mar12 March 18:16

    Me too, I matched in May last year and completed 8 stays. Then I was told I’d gained status until March 2019 which I assumed was a mistake. Just had the same email as you??

  • BJ says:

    12 Mar12 March 20:07

    Probably just the latest in a string of Hilton IT glitches.

  • Brian W says:

    13 Mar13 March 00:56

    Me too. I completed the Diamond challenge Nov 2018, giving me Diamond till March 2020.

    I’m assuming it’s an error!

• Greg says:

  12 Mar12 March 20:51

  With 6 Amex cards between my wife and I, we took full advantage of the recent BP offer, so much so that not one of them has the Bremont offer. Shame, because it is the best offer I have seen to date.

• James says:

  12 Mar12 March 21:58

  Anyone want to club together, buy a watch over 6 or more cards, sell it on ebay and make a tidy profit ?
