  OT: Moving Avios between plans.

  The usual recommendation here, in the event of problems, has always been to move to an avios.com a/c first, then on to BA or IB.

  I never had problems moving between BA and IB in either direction, and still do not. Before the avios travel programme closed, I had no difficulty moving avios from avios.com to BA.

  But now my avios.com e-mail address has changed itself to the one I have for aerClub, which is ie@mydomain. This DOES ‘match’ with ib@mydomain, but no longer with ba@mydomain. ib@ and ba@ do still ‘match’.
  This is odd! Anyone else had problems following the closure of the avios travel programme?

  [Obviously I can move avios from BA to IE if necessary via IB].

    I can’t login to Avios.com at all – it says that my number is “used by another programme” and email simply doesn’t work though it’s the same across the board. Avios.com has always been a VERY STRANGE website

      I’ve never had a problem at all as far as I can remember. I left 1 Avios in it some time back to keep it live for as long as possible, and fortuitously I’m glad I did, as today I needed to move just about 200 k from Iberia to Avios to BA……no problem at all.

  OT. does anyone have experience of the spire amb benefits when staying at the IC Park Lane on a free night cert. Can only find reference to stays lasts year prior to the new benefits being introduced.

  Thanks

    I think the basic rooms are small and I wouldn’t expect anything above the minimum on a free night stay although someone did claim to get upgraded to suite on a points redemption.

  OT Platinum:
  I understand with the personal Plat you can get a supplementary Plat and also an Additional Card in your own name for free plus the combination of four Green or Gold cards. The Biz Plat says one supplementary Plat for someone and then 98 Gold supps. Anyone know if the Additional Card feature is available for Biz Plat? Neither descriptions for the personal and biz on the Amex website mention this but the welcome pack for the personal does, wondering if the biz version does as well?

  Very OT:

  Does anyone know what the flight redemption is that Emirates offers for 15,000 miles?

  Thanks!

  Talking of points *cough pending OT* Loyalty lobby have just tweeted that Iberia are running a 50% purchase lift for avios. Seems like a good deal for those that can make it work. Is it worth waiting for a better offer or is this as good as it usually gets anyone know?

  • Stu N says:

    You’re looking at paying 1.1-1.2p per Avios but it’s a low hassle route to it. IMO if you have a specific redemption in mind then well worth considering, otherwise I would pass.

    • Russ says:

      Thanks Stu. Yes worth it for me to buy when cheap as can always use them.

      Worked great – £25 off £40 for some cheap cat food 🙂

      And yes – I used all the codes before 🙂

      • Shoestring says:

        19 Apr19 April 19:36

        and again on another a/c – free £25 cat food – damn black cat 🙂

      • Shoestring says:

        19 Apr19 April 19:51

        and again – more cat food 🙂

        £25 off again

        Your cat must feel really used by now Shoestring.

      • Shoestring says:

        19 Apr19 April 20:14

        ha ha! another £25 off! 🙂

        more cat food plus something I needed lol 🙂

        £100 off thanks to Amex Gold card

        I can’t do the other 2 a/cs just yet as am abroad and it’s a bit tricky, you don’t need the detail

      • Shoestring says:

        19 Apr19 April 20:17

        @Lady London – well I lost out on a vote of 4 to 1 – so damn black cat we got – doesn’t mean I like it or have to pay more for its damn black cat food than strictly necessary 🙂

      • Shoestring says:

        19 Apr19 April 20:31

        that’s £100 of the Gold card fee paid, with another £50 to come with any luck – which is £10 more than £140 by my reckoning 🙂
