  Datapoint: £100 Amex Plat credited with spend at Waitrose Cellar despite supposed exclusion. May help some folks who wouldn’t normally shop at Waitrose.

  • Rob says:

    Result.

  Can anyone help with this? we had flights booked from Madrid to Thessaloniki via Athens with Aegean. The Athens to Thessaloniki flight has now been cancelled and the alternative arrives 1 hour 20 later. Given the delay isn’t long I don’t think a refund is possible on the length of delay. However, I think I’m eligible for a refund as the flight has been cancelled, but not sure if that applies for flights with more than one leg.

  • Pangolin says:

    The alternative flight will have a different flight number so if it’s all on the same PNR (booking number) then you have the right to a full refund of the ticket.

    • Richard says:

      Great, thanks

        You won’t get a refund from Aegean though. Vouchers only I’m afraid.

• Graeme says:

  Hypothetical question, would it be against Amex rules to have a supplementary card in the name of, for example, a family pet?

  • Pangolin says:

    10 Jun10 June 17:21

    Lol I can imagine the reaction in Brighton when they see the name Tiddles on the card application!

  • Qwertyknowsbest says:

    Hypothetical reply, want to risk money laundering suspension or suspicion?

    • Graeme says:

      10 Jun10 June 17:52

      Interesting point – how would a supplementary card in the name of a non-human be more useful for money laundering than one in the name of a human?

      • Sandgrounder says:

        I presume this is to facilitate extra offers. It might be more sensible to issue the cards in the names of real people you are related to, they need never know as the cards are delivered to your address, and they might be legitimately useful one day.

        • Genghis says:

          10 Jun10 June 19:04

          Don’t push your luck with too many supps and accessing offers.

    Naughty Graeme! You risk sullying the good name of Graeme.

    Graeme@ Not if your Family pet is your “Wife” lol

  Anyone know if the ns&i route works with Hilton/curve card, just caught up on so much!

  • Bigmaggot says:

    10 Jun10 June 19:29

    Yes works fine

  T©B have posted Tesco Pet insurance cash back for me for 2 accounts today

  • Liz says:

    10 Jun10 June 20:38

    How long did it take to go to payable. Mine just moved to confirmed recently.

    • G says:

      10 Jun10 June 22:41

      Transaction date is showing as 21st Jan on one and 8th Jan on the other. They were both confirmed around March time I think and changed to payable today. So they do take the full 20 weeks stated

  • BJ says:

    10 Jun10 June 20:41

    Not mine, been confirmed for weeks already.

  • Alan S says:

    10 Jun10 June 21:33

    Yeah both of ours changed to payable in the last few days.

    Now just need an Avios transfer bonus…

    • Brian W says:

      10 Jun10 June 21:51

      There is currently been a 5% transfer to Avios bonus, been there for a while but not as good as the 15% or 20% (can’t remember) that we used to see periodically.

    • Jo says:

      11 Jun11 June 07:31

      My payout for this can only be via BACS, are you able to payout to Avios?

  Some restaurants in Vegas are charging a covid19 fee…

  • Peter K says:

    10 Jun10 June 22:21

    Can’t you ask for your meal to be served without the virus and save the fee at the same time 😉

• Lee says:

  10 Jun10 June 21:10

  IHG Premium Credit Card question. When will the £10K free night voucher spending reset? I applied my card on 12th Jun and first card spending on 16th, first statement was issued on 25th. Thanks!

  • Lee says:

    10 Jun10 June 21:12

    Sorry for more question. When will the free night voucher be issued?

    • Doogie says:

      10 Jun10 June 21:29

      Not 100% sure on exact to the day date but it will be June 2021 around card anniversary

      • Doogie says:

        10 Jun10 June 21:29

        And the reset should be the same time

      • Doogie says:

        10 Jun10 June 21:30

        Doh, just realised that this was obviously started last year… go back to sleep me! Should be within the next couple of weeks – probably card or statement anniversary

  • The Urbanite says:

    10 Jun10 June 21:35

    It should come with this month’s points, working day after the statement.

  Hi all

  I have a LHR-JNB flight on an A388 in club world. Am hoping to upgrade to first if availability appears, but what are the best seats to pick for two people in club? Never been on a double decker in club before (only first) so no idea!!?

  • Genghis says:

    10 Jun10 June 21:56

    53AB / JK IMO

    • Craig W says:

      10 Jun10 June 22:23
