  OT – Anyone having problems with the Amex site “Use your points”? I was going to transfer points to Hilton but it getting a page stating “technical difficulties”. It seems to be the same for the last 2 days?

    Munch – I had it this morning sending 1000 points to IB to renew the 3 years there on my wife’s a/c – that was using Opera. I switched to Chrome & it went through immediately.

    • Munch says:

      Thanks – not working on Chrome on my laptop but working on Chrome on my mobile?

        Well, even Amazon MR registration link seems to be down too 🙁

      Ahem Shoestring is it three years since she used her share of the IB 180,000? I must say your maintenance procedures seem exceptional.

  Missed out again! Devastated – Anyone selling a ticket yet?

• BlueThroughCrimp says:

  Managed to get mine, and a place to stay in the Docklands booked!

  Amazon £25 off £40 CONFIRMED WORKING SEVERAL TIMES BY POSTERS HERE!

  try 2x Auchentoshan American Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl £20 (sold by Amazon)

  use the code AMEX25OFF
  use some Amex points to part pay (1p is enough)
  pay the rest on your Amex card

  you can always do a dummy purchase to see if you are eligible for the £25 saving

  • Craig says:

    Registration still unavailable.

  • Harry T says:

    23 Jun23 June 14:57

    Registration isn’t available.

    • Shoestring says:

      23 Jun23 June 15:03

      yep that’s my problem too with a new Amex Gold – but working for other folks already registered/ used Amex card on Amazon

      • Harry T says:

        23 Jun23 June 15:07

        Not working for me with a previously registered card that I’ve used for AMEX25OFF before. Can’t add my new Platinum card either.

  • Lilly says:

    23 Jun23 June 15:15

    Thank you! It didn’t work for me last time but now it did!

    • Shoestring says:

      23 Jun23 June 15:20

      nice one 🙂

  • BJ says:

    23 Jun23 June 16:09

    Hi Harry, I’ve only ever managed to get this to work once. Does supplied and delivered by Amazon EU start not count? Only reason I can think of being the problem.

    • Shoestring says:

      23 Jun23 June 16:30

      first just try the 2x Auchentoshan American Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl £20 (sold by Amazon)

      to check eligibility

      if that works (on a dummy purchase), you’re OK – just a matter of finding items that are allowed after that, in theory Amazon EU Sarl should be OK

      • BJ says:

        23 Jun23 June 16:45

        Ok thanks, will give that a try but it’s looking like I’m not eligible I think.

        If you prefer bourbon, Woodford Reserve is £20 a bottle and sold by Amazon too…

        • Cat says:

          23 Jun23 June 18:56

          This is exactly what I’m trying, but I’m currently unable to see my membership rewards points when I try to pay with my Platinum card. It’s most annoying – we get through quite a bit of Bourbon making Whisky Sours! This would be very much appreciated (although Buffalo Trace is always better than Woodford Reserve, but doesn’t seem to be sold by Amazon).

  • Dave says:

    23 Jun23 June 23:31

    Thanks Shoestring, also managed to get one to work using a card I registered previously but haven’t had the offer on before. Stocked up on a couple of essentials!

  • Simon says:

    24 Jun24 June 11:07

    Ah shucks, looks like it’s finished. I should really check hfp at weekends…

  Abu Dhabi showing £1,349 not £1,250 on KLM website.

  • Rob says:

    23 Jun23 June 15:16

    It does. But when you click through you’ll see the lowest fare is £1,250 according to their low fare finder.

  Hello all 🙂

  Thinking of cancelling my UK Amex Platinum Charge Card. Will the Platinum Companion Credit Card also get cancelled at the same time/

  • Rob says:

    23 Jun23 June 18:10

    Should be but doesn’t always happen looking at reports over the years.

    • Simon Schus says:

      24 Jun24 June 00:19

      Will try!

• Kevin C says:

  23 Jun23 June 16:07

  Managed to get two tickets at 12. Didn’t use bots, just was lucky.

  BTW, did people enjoy Jessie J last weekend? I thought she was very good and it was a well run event even if the promised cocktails turned out to be wine and beer. It was great that Studio 2 was open (the room the Beatles used).

  • Rob says:

    23 Jun23 June 18:09

    You can debate whether swapping a 60 minute set for a 90 minute set including 30 minutes of rambling is better or worse 🙂

    • Kevin C says:

      23 Jun23 June 18:46

      She does like to talk. But I saw it as value for money. And I’ve been to showcase gigs that were over in 20 minutes. It did mean that the dessert canapés were rather rushed.

      I spotted you and your wife there but you were talking to people and i didn’t want to barge in.

        Is that you Mr Costner?

  Got charged interest by Lloyds on my credit card- what are the next steps? How do we know when we can make more purchases? Lloyd’s said until the next statement is produced.. but surely it cant be that long

  • Jimmy says:

    23 Jun23 June 19:36
