  OT: When will the Amex lounge open in LHR T3? Its Q3 already..

    The talk elsewhere is now first half of 2020

  • Rob says:

    2020.

    Which was obvious from the day it was announced, to everyone except Amex which has never built a UK lounge before. Club Aspire took almost 18 months and that was a conversion of an existing lounge. Amex thought they could do it in 9 months.

      New Edinburgh Aspire lounge delayed yet again

        Thanks. We are hoping to go up and have a look at this, tied in with a visit to the Signature Private Jet terminal at Luton (as they liked Rhys’ Gatwick review!).

          Hoping they manage to stick to that date now as looking forward to trying it out.

  The Virgin offer is 4 miles per pound spent on the Virgin cc between 1st and 3rd November but this was via an email invitation.

  • Andrew M says:

    22 Oct22 October 08:11

    Did anyone else get this? Is it definitely targeted? I didn’t get an email but I think I probably had promotional emails turned off.

  IHG Rewards Club points for event tickets: in case you are wondering, Disney on Ice is amazing if you have small children who like Disney. My 5 year old daughter has been asking all year when we will go again. Over the years I’ve gradually worked up from cheap seats at the back to this year getting front row seats (this will be our 4th time). My daughter always dresses up in one of her princess dresses too!

  re Shop Small
  There is still time to get a full set of supplementary cards by December. The card holder can have a supplementary with relationship type other.

  • MattB says:

    22 Oct22 October 08:02

    If supplementary cards are classed as separate to main them we have 6 cards between us which is fine for our habits. Not many options in my immediate area but plenty in Cardiff.

      Giovannis is one of my favourite uses in cardiff, split a meal for 2 across all my cards. But it didnt auto trigger last year and took ages to chase up afterwards.

    • LewisB says:

      You can do a great bar crawl in Cardiff. Zero degrees, Kongs, Tiny Rebel, Moon, Pulse all included. Finish it off with a good dinner at Astor 44 or Curado. Real Italian Pizza company is on the Meerkat 241 if you have that, plus split the bill across two (or more) amex cards. Absolute bargain.

        I like this plan a lot!

      • MattB says:

        22 Oct22 October 14:05

        Yes we paid a few visits to Curado last year, plus Tiny Rebel for the festive Yorkie wrap.

        pulse! What a dive.

  OT: Best priority pass lounge in Singapore Changi Terminal 1, any ideas? Very long layover on the way back from bali.

    Not sure if it was T1 but we really liked the food and drink at the Dnata lounge. Also was super quiet. Heard other good reviews of the other PP lounge but forget the name

  Went to Bicester this weekend and forgot to visit the visitor centre to get the avios. Is there still an email address to which you can send your receipts so that they can credit your BA account?

  • Liam J says:

    22 Oct22 October 09:34

    Haven’t used this for a couple of years but it used to be TravelTrade@ChicOutletShopping.com

  • TGLoyalty says:

    22 Oct22 October 14:01
