  OT – Do Amex have any retention offers with the Platinum card when you cancel?

  • Lev441 says:

    Occasionally may offer an additional point per £1 spent.. call and ask!

  • Graeme says:

    Other half cancelled last month. No offers to retain, only offered to talk to someome regarding alternative cards.

  • Dave says:

    13 Mar13 March 12:34

    I rang up and got offered an additional point per £1 for the next 3 months.

  O/T: Does anyone know if you can convert Clubcard points to avios or even flying club miles if the name on the Clubcard account doesn’t match the name on the BAEC account? The address and surname are the same just first name is different?

  • pauldb says:

    Is this a case of 2 relations, or a name discrepancy. I credit my wife’s vouchers to my BAEC account by using her vouchers in my Tesco.com account/login – can you do that?

    I’ve used clubcard points from numerous friends and never had an issue. Might be worth waiting for a promo, if you can wait.

  OT
  Any krisflyer booking experience ?
  Trying to find availability for IST to MLE online and can’t seem to find star alliance routes, or if I find an award seat it doesn’t show me details?

  Still deliberating over marriott v krisflyer lol
  Marriott options of ritz cartlton langkawi and le merdeien seychelles look very tempting, no plans to these places (yet) but can be made hopefully in the future.

    The Krisflyer website isn’t very good for partner bookings. Try the United website; if you can find something there at the lowest level, SQ should see it too if you ring them or use the excellent online chat function (which of course gives you a record of the conversation, though you have to paste it onto a document, rather than them emailing it to you like some other online chat providers do).

    IME, Krisflyer availability is excellent, but there’s not a lot from IST as so many fora have recently promoted it as great value when going east.

      Thanks Louie
      I did give them a call and they told me how many points it would be but was difficult finding a date
      Also tried MAD-MLE which was a bit cheaper in points but thing is, we would actually really like to spend a couple of days in ist and sin.
      Do you know of any other ones with similar price in points that you could maybe email me?
      Thanks

  OT: How long are Virgin FC to Hikton transfers taking these days?

  OT: Revolut Just got the card and will be travelling in Malaysia next month. Since RM is not one of the currencies they support what are the fx charges if we use it in Malaysia?

  • Genghis says:

    It just means that you cannot hold a MYR balance. You’ll hold a balance in GBP which then gets translated at interbank rate during the week (UK time) and interbank + 1% at weekends (so maybe use another card).

      thanks

  Apologies if this has already been mentioned but yesterday the subject was raised concerning emails purporting to be from Hilton Honors offering Diamond Status to people like myself who already have it. I have received confirmation from Hilton it is not a glitch, nor is it from them.

  O/T – US Plat Amex have a scheme entitled “By Invite Only” – is this accessible to UK Amex Plat card holders?

  • Aslan says:

    13 Mar13 March 16:07

    Thanks – not quite what I was after. Wanted to know whether UK card holders could access the US items, ie can I access the events here with a UK Platinum card?

    Ah, gotcha, no idea sorry. Might be worth asking them on Twitter?

• MoJack says:

  OT; Advice pls,
  Whats the best thing to do with <500 points left in an amex account…?

  • Alex says:

    13 Mar13 March 13:13

    transfer to Nectar or top up amazon account.

    • Wally1976 says:

      13 Mar13 March 14:18

      Or Radisson Rewards if you’re already collecting them.

  • Charlieface says:

    13 Mar13 March 14:24

    What happened to the Pay with Points offer? Is that not the best to clear the last few points?

  • Anna says:

    13 Mar13 March 16:26

    Marriott? I think the minimum number to transfer is 400.
