  Curve cash withdrawal:
  Not taken any money out since 2018. Can I still take £200 / month a fee free? And with virgin behind is that fee free there too? Thanks in advance.

  • Harry T says:

    11 Nov11 November 14:43

    Should be.

  • Mr. AC says:

    11 Nov11 November 15:41

    Still fee free with IHG. Virgin charged me when I tried last year, so I didn’t try again, but it might have been a temporary thing.

    • Bob says:

      tried with virgin + cc last month, 2x £100 withdrawal , no charge or interest, went through as purchases

    • Jonathan says:

      I’ve done it recently (within the my current statement month), and haven’t been charged anything. I also did it on my free card right before it was cancelled and they didn’t pick anything up.

      I hope it counts towards the spend goal of £10K for the voucher, even if it doesn’t, it’s still 3600 / 1800 VP a year

        I got stung with cash withdrawal interest by Creation today. Not sure on which transaction though, as my statement has not been generated yet!

          Likely Rev

  @Rob @Rhys just had a spring 2020 weekend regional flight from City Flyer cancelled and moved from STN to LCY. I suspect they are canning STN as a base for now.

  Has anybody had any experiences of getting a PCR test in central London lately? Hopefully at some reasonable cost but appreciate beggars can’t be choosers. Thanks in advance.

    I have booked my appointment with a local pharmacy chain, which charges £149 for a next day report, if you provide your sample before 4 pm.

    I have used them for Flu Jab services multiple times, and they are very professional about it. This would be the first time I will be doing the RT-PCR test with them for travelling purposes, but a friend recently got tested there and was all praises about how smooth the whole process is.

    You will need to call on this no. to book the appointment: 020 7730 8747
    The address of the pharmacy is: Greenlight Pharmacy, 6 Lower Belgrave St, Belgravia, London SW1W 0LJ

    I will report back on my own personal experience next week.
    Cheers.

      We used vivoclinic (London clinic is in Marylebone) £169 and test results emailed 26 hours later (although they only promise results by midnight 2 days after the test)

      No issues at all, although the swabbing process really, really tickles your sinuses and adenoids!

      • Flying Misfit says:

        11 Nov11 November 18:01

        Cheers both, really useful

  Has anyone got a data point on how long it takes for the Morrisons statement credit to post?

  • Aston100 says:

    11 Nov11 November 15:13

    Yes. Mine appeared after 6 days (including a weekend).

    • Amar says:

      11 Nov11 November 17:58

      Thanks

• Aston100 says:

  I cancelled an Amex PRG card 6 – 7 months ago.
  Is it safe to be referred for this card again without incurring the annual fee?

  Thanks.

  • Rahaney says:

    11 Nov11 November 15:12

    You’ll be fine however your yearly tracker won’t be reset…

    • Genghis says:

      11 Nov11 November 15:46

      It should reset.

      • Rahaney says:

        11 Nov11 November 15:58

        Amex refused to for me. Was a similar 6+ month gap..

        • TGLoyalty says:

          11 Nov11 November 16:10

          odd you have a completely new card account why wouldn’t you expect the yearly tracker to reset!

    • Aston100 says:

      11 Nov11 November 15:52

      Thanks.
      I’m only after the referral bonus, which is currently an enhanced 12k avios from wife’s BAPP.

  I just used this code.

  Has anyone got any experience of paying VWFS with a Hilton barclaycard? Any interest charges from barclaycard?

• Mike says:

  With the 10% at WM’s, what is the max gift cards you can reasonable buy either at the checkout or the self-checkout? I was thinking to mix Amazon with Morrisons vouchers (for fuel).

  • TGLoyalty says:

    11 Nov11 November 16:11

    atleast £1.5k at self checkout take some small heavy stuff to trick the scales!

    • Mike says:

      11 Nov11 November 16:18

      Are you flogging them back to CY?

      • Super Secret Stuff says:

        11 Nov11 November 17:46

        CY?

        • TGLoyalty says:

          11 Nov11 November 22:55

          No idea what CY is

        • Andrew M says:

          12 Nov12 November 09:25

          Card Yard I assume.

      • TGLoyalty says:

        11 Nov11 November 21:47

        No I use them for Amazon JL etc over the next few weeks/months/probably not long with Black Friday and Xmas.
