  Has anyone had any luck using the Wheely promotion more than twice on their Amex cards? I was going to give it a try this afternoon and see what happens

  • Dev says:

    30 Oct30 October 11:49

    Yes. Worked fine on my BAPP. Two trips to LHR and £25 refund received for each on my online statement. Takes 4-5 days.

    • Dev says:

      30 Oct30 October 11:50

      Apologies I just realised that you said more than twice! No I didn’t do that but might give it a go next week before the offer ends.

      • Neil Donoghue says:

        30 Oct30 October 12:47

        Cheers Dev, I will let you know tomorrow! The offer worked fine for me as well but I didn’t receive any email to say the offer triggered

  • Louise says:

    No joy here, I got the two lots of £25 cash backs but the third time I used it nothing 🙁 oh well!

    • Neil Donoghue says:

      30 Oct30 October 21:27

      Thanks Louise! Used it tonight and the charge has gone through…Let’s see if I get the £25 back

  OT Monese card

  Am I right in thinking that the £5000 monthly limit relates to pay point transactions only and PO transactions have no limit per month just the £500 at any one time.
  From Monese TCs

  Cash top-up via Post Office Per transaction £5 £500 £5 £500 £5 £500

  Cash top-up via PayPoint Per transaction n/a £249 n/a £249 n/a £249
  Per day n/a £500 n/a £500 n/a £500
  Per week n/a £2,500 n/a £2,500 n/a £2,500
  Per month (30 days) n/a £5,000 n/a £5,000 n/a £5,000

  Thanks

    That’s my understanding

      Thanks.

    Just make sure you do it with Amex!

• Nick says:

  They currently charge BA $80 for every entrant travelling on a BA flight – and that’s at oneworld ‘mates’ rates’. In this context, £55 is a bargain!

  • Neil Donoghue says:

    30 Oct30 October 12:54

    Ouch! That is rough

  • Anna says:

    30 Oct30 October 13:31

    Is that Aus dollars?

  • Doug M says:

    Source for this?

  • Lady London says:

    Probably only the net amount is handed over? So that’ll be the one Australian going into the British Airways lounge for the whisky. IIRC there was a decent Armagnac in the BA lounge as well.

  Re the Accor offer – “In theory, this promo is only valid if you were emailed it directly by Accor.”

  I didn’t get an email and when I tried registering I got the message “Unfortunately, your status does not qualify you for this offer”, and I’ve got Gold status!

  OT,

  When booking a 241 from the UK to Hong Kong what is the best sequence to save on the charges?
  Outbound online and then call for the return?

  Thanks

  • E says:

    30 Oct30 October 15:33

    Won’t save on the charges that way. You’ll get charged the same if you book both out and back together or one outbound then later one return. You’ll only save if you use the 241 solely for the outbound then book the return as a separate ticket using twice the avios and not linked to the 241.

    • happeemonkee says:

      30 Oct30 October 16:06

      That’s not correct. If you book the outbound only using the 241, you can book the inbound seperately to make use of the lower charges ex HK and phone BA and ask to apply the voucher to the return. You’ll then get 50% of your Avios back. I did this a couple of weeks ago.

      • Darren says:

        30 Oct30 October 16:47

        Ah, I see. Thanks very much.

        • Michael C says:

          30 Oct30 October 18:56

          Yep, did this for a March trip: out to Osaka with the voucher. Reserved the return from HKG with Avios, then rang and the reservations were “linked” and half the Avios returned, no problem.

  O/T Re curve card and ATM withdrawals. I have the basic blue card with a £500 monthly limit for foreign transactions. Does anyone know if the £200 ATM withdrawal limit per month is separate or would be part of this £500 limit. thanks Claire

  • Mr. AC says:

    31 Oct31 October 07:28

    It’s separate unless you’re doing an ATM withdrawal that involves a FX conversion (e.g. Euros from an ATM where the underlying card is in pounds).

  Somewhat OT but lounge related. Just got refused into Gatwick No1 Lounge in the South Terminal 30 mins ago, They said: “We are not accepting priority pass at the moment but Club Aspire will let you in.” Bearing in mind this is end of October and Gatwick is pretty much at its quietest time of the year! Very interesting given that they usually say – “We are at capacity at the moment but come back at X time”.

  Anyone have idea what’s going on here?

    Half term this week.

  • Spaghetti Town says:

    31 Oct31 October 09:36

    Yes, they want their £5

    • Paul says:

      31 Oct31 October 12:32

      I paid £5 last week and just walked out. Was too busy the queue at the bar was ridiculous

• Scallder says:

  OT – Nectar double up. You can do vouchers on the app in store through the app but they’re limiting it this year to £100 voucher max this year per account (last year was £200 per account). Hugely annoying as across 2 accounts had been lining up £400 of purchases …grrrrr

  • BJ says:

    30 Oct30 October 19:54

    It wasn’t even £200 in practice last year, store staff seemed to have no way of know if you had already converted £200 and would issue more.
