The HfP chat thread – Saturday 2nd October

Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.

We are running this daily chat thread on Head for Points during the coronavirus outbreak.

Historically, the daily ‘Bits’ articles were the de facto repository for random comments and questions. With the news flow being lighter, we are running fewer ‘Bits’ articles.

The comments under this article are where you should post questions about travel and, indeed, anything else on your mind. At this tricky time, and given that many of you are at home, we want the HfP community to have a place to chat.

Please only comment under the main articles on the site if your comment is directly related to the topic of the article. This has long-term benefits as it keeps the commentary relevant for people who read those articles in the future.

Old chat threads are hidden from the HfP home page. If you want to look for something in an old thread, click here. This brings up all the articles in our ‘General’ category which includes the chat threads.

For BA holidays can I call and travel different classes on outbound and return legs? Looks like upgrades to PE on flights back from the US are all priced at £50 – bargain for a red eye.

MBNA Offers

“Upper Crust” has popped up this evening, 10% return on your next order, maximum return £30.

That’s going to be quite a substantial snack at the station to get a £30 return.

  Overpriced by more than 10% so barely worth it

    I think you fail to understand the Upper Crust business model …

Did I miss mention of a new £100 off on £750+ at Dell on Amex Personal Plat? I was checking offers on my wife’s account and noticed this while it doesn’t show up on my plat.
