  Hi, does anyone know how long the amex gold 10k bonus points you get for spending £15k are taking to post. I know t&cs say up to 2 months after renewal, but wondering if anyone has any recent experience?

    Accor credit Q:
    If you use Accor points as part payment off a stay, do you get base award points on the entire cash rate or just the cash element after using credit?

    • RussellH says:

      Just on the cash element for me.

    Usually 3-4 weeks after annual statement fees apply.

  Hi Folks, I have a few refunds to go back onto some of my cancelled Amex cards and I don’t have the details now. Can I trust that these will eventually find there way back to me?
  Thanks in advance

    Yes, should be fine.

    You will suddenly get a statement although the account is closed.
    Recently I paid via FastPay into the wrong (closed) account and only found out when a statement arrived showing a credit balance which I asked to have transferred to my current account.

  Been looking at using my Free Marriott Night for next Year valid for hotels up to 25,000 points .
  So effectively is another downgrade as it use to be Cat 4 but now its only Cat 4 off peak I think this is such a poor Reward for Spending 25K on the Amex Marriott Credit in one year.

  • Freddy says:

    Yep they’ve completely wrecked the card with reduced earning rate and rubbish reward with a relatively high fee. Think there was a mass exodus a while ago (including me)

  • James says:

    Depend on your definition of working

  • TGLoyalty says:

    Yeah refunds back into your curve cash and you decide where it goes.

  I am due to fly on BA460/461 next month (the 777 that flies to/from Madrid).

  Just been notified (via an ExpertFlyer seat alert) that it has been substituted for an A319. Looks like you only get a 777 on Saturdays throughout August. It then seems to be switching to a (daily) 787-8 from September.

  Worth checking if you are due to be on those flights, and you mind about these things!

  My October flight to west coast US is still showing as a 747

  BA sure are slow at updating !

  • Rhys says:

    I imagine it will depend on what the route network looks like as to what you’ll end up flying on (if you do fly….)

  To replace a significant portion of Flybe’s Belfast ops, Stobart Air operating on behalf of Aer Lingus will start operating six routes from Belfast City (BHD): EDI, MAN, BHX, EMA, EXT, LBA. Will begin on a phased basis from Aug; 5x ATR72-600 will be based at the airport.

  Hi,

  Am I correct that during August BA will not be flying to Tokyo (excluding code share)? BA seems to have recently cancelled then all.
  Outbound was OK but I was scheduled to fly back to London in the middle of August having used Avios and a Lloyd’s upgrade voucher.
  Thanks For advice.

  • Matthew says:

    Tokyo route not served 01-28 Aug by BA.
