  So, I have the plat and was thinking about referring my other half for the SPG card though she wounldn’t get a welcome bonus I don’t think.

  Anyway, in going through the refer a friend it only shows the plat and the BAPP card – I know this has happened before but it is now saying I would only get 9k MR points for a referral to the BA card, whereas before it has always been 18k……has anyone else had successful 18k points referral recently?

    Within the past 7 days referred to nectar from plat and got 18k.

  I must be living under a rock, what offers do you tend to look out for to get these discounts on giftcards

  • Rob says:

    Mainly on bank debit card portals, eg google HSBC Visa offers.

  OT, Flybe launching LHR-IOM on 21/4. Not sure if this is old news or not.

  I have the Shop Small promotion and was very surprised to see the change in terms to just one single transaction / shop.

  It is not promoting the use of the card in small shops by much !!

  I reread it several times to make sure I was reading it correctly I was that surprised.

    Has anyone actually tested multiple transactions yet?

    • Daft says:

      It won’t be one transaction

      Just poorly worded

      • Charlieface says:

        I think so too but have you tried it? Haven’t had a chance yet

        What is the exact wording? (not showing on our 3 cards)

  I also had a horrible experience with their customer service. I won’t use them again however much they offer in avios/discounts.

  I hope you have better luck !

  Does Eurostar normally run any promotions between now and May?

  • John says:

    28 Mar28 March 15:23

    not that I recall, there’s often one earlier in the year, and June/July had something the last few years

    I’ve been avoiding Eurostar for the last few weeks due to the industrial action by French customs at Gare du Nord, too many delays and cancellations!

    if that finishes, perhaps they’ll do something to try and get people back, but I wouldn’t count on either

  Natwest Rewards and Santander All-in-one are 0.5% as well, and that’s hard cash I think.

  O/T – I’m new to the Marriott and building up stays for status requirements. I have a work booking I’m making for 3 rooms under the same reservation code for the same night. How many of these rooms can I earn credit for?
  I know with Hilton I’d earn against 2 room – What’s the policy with Marriott please?
  TIA..

  • TGLoyalty says:

    Stays/Nights against 1 but points against up to 3

    SPG was far better for this as its allowed both for up to 3

  • Rob says:

    One IIRC.

    Hilton – for clarity – gives points on two rooms but I THINK (IIRC) only gives night credit for 1 room?
