The HfP chat thread – Thursday 4th November

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.

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.

Just a quick mention incase anyone else is experiencing a delay in transferring AMEX MR to BA AVIOS after syncing accounts. I initially contacted AMEX about the issue and they helped traced it back to my address within my BA account which had the 1st line of my address replaced with the 2nd line of the address (2nd line was blank).

Address now corrected, and AMEX have raised a case to attempt the transfer again.
