NCP has launched a limited-time airport parking sale.

NCP is offering a 5% discount until Friday when you book any of the following airport car parks:

Birmingham Car Park 1 and Car Park 2 & 3
Norwich Short Stay and Long Stay
Edinburgh Scotpark
Glasgow Short Stay Car Park 2 and Long Stay
Heathrow – Flightpath T2/3 and Hilton T4/5

It is valid for bookings of 5+ days, for parking which begins between 1st and 31st August. It only applies to refundable rates.

You need to use promo code AUGFLY5A but this will be added automatically if you book via this link.

We wrote an article on the NCP at Hilton T4/5 here. This car park is particularly good for Terminal 5 because the hotel is nearby and you get a free ticket for the Hotel Hoppa bus. It is also relatively cheap because it is off-airport.

  You should be able to call the number on the back of your card. Travel booking as well as card services.

OT: I mentioned some time back that I have Amex Platinum but on signing up to the BA Amex (not premium) I only got the 1,000 welcome bonus and not the 5,000 sign up bonus on hitting the spend. I chatted today and the lady said I am not eligible as I have a personal Amex – the Platinum one. I said I have never held the BA card before so despite the platinum, I should get the 5k bonus. Am I understanding this right? Is it because I also have Nectar Amex? Anyway, I didn’t get anywhere with her. Please advise re my options. Before I try another chat representative could someone refer e to the exact terms from the T&Cs?

  I have just checked Rob’s old article and I should have signed up to the premium card! Now I can’t even get a bonus for that unless I cancel all and wait for 24 months! Really messed up there…

I often read here that people sign up to the American Express Green card. What’s the benefit of that as opposed to others or is it just to get the referral bonus?
- Rob says:

  From Green you can upgrade to Platinum via the official upgrade link (although it is not guaranteed to work as you were not emailed it directly, which is why we don’t plug it) and get 20,000 points as an upgrade bonus.
  
  Handy if you can’t apply for Plat directly and get a bonus.

  Site was taken down as it was malfunctioning. Not sure if it will ever return or if this is an excuse to close it.
  
  Shame because we got paid 6p for each one and it was really mounting up 🙂

    Rubbish destinations list at the mo but you need to check it daily – as it can often be pretty good

OT, anyone know which’s the better lounge for Swiss at LHR? Can’t remember the last time I went in one. Thanks.
- Rob says:

  Only option in A is LH/SWISS. If you’re prepared to do the 15 minute walk to B satellite, United Club is MASSIVELY better, in fact one of the finest in Heathrow. You need to factor in 15 mins to get there and 15 mins to get back though.
  
  No other option in A satellite unless you have a Priority Pass for Plaza Premium.

    15 minutes is very comfortable.
    
    Walking at a ‘determined’ but not exactly brisk pace, I think I was there in half that time. Slightly longer on the return as there’s no travelators

OT: Just had an email from AerCluv about a buy avios promotion. What is interesting is that the maximum bonus is 45%as opposed to the usual 50%, when buying 100000+. A sign of things to come perhaps.
