  Does anyone know what normally happens if there is a direct debit setup for council tax but then a payment is made on card that would cover a few months, will the direct debit generally still be taken each month or does the balance get adjusted and the dd wouldnt get taken for those months?

  • Anna says:

    Just cancel the dd. Councils are a bit of a (by) law unto themselves and would probably still take your and you’d then have to claw back the extra. I normally make 2 or 3 lump payments each year and after each one the council sends me a revised bill and payment schedule until the full amount is paid.

  • E says:

    Our council doesn’t take the direct debit if I’ve already paid on card that month. Sounds like it could vary depending on your council though so maybe best to ask them.

    There goes my holiday to the UAE, to join my January South Africa trip in the dustbin of dreams 😂

      Harry, I’m now thinking we won’t even get to Edinburgh for New Year as Ms Sturgeon will now have another excuse to close her borders!

      • James says:

        That is pessimistic!

        • Anna says:

          27 Nov27 November 16:38

          James, I live in a borough where residents were banned from entering Scotland even after most restrictions had been lifted, she’s got her eye on us 🤣

          Ah, but wee Nicky is soooo caring and has to always go twenty better than Boris. Who knows I may not even get to London in a couple of weeks!

  • Anna says:

    27 Nov27 November 16:25

    The infected persons and their family have been “told” to isolate 🙄

    • Polly says:

      Not carted off by the men in hazmat suits???

      • Anna says:

        27 Nov27 November 16:36

        Lol Polly, they don’t work at the weekend! Call 119 and you can make an appointment to see a man in a hazmat suit in 3 weeks.

      • Lady London says:

        27 Nov27 November 17:50

        No that’s only for the really dangerous, Polly 🙂

        • Polly says:

          27 Nov27 November 21:54

  Has anyone signed up to Nectar Connect?
  Wondering if the offers are any good vs giving access to my spending habits…
  Ta,

  • John says:

    27 Nov27 November 16:49

    Use a dedicated card for it then they won’t get any info

    • Toby says:

      27 Nov27 November 16:57

      Yes! Agree with John. It often compounds with other offers. Well worth it!

• Mco says:

  Do gift cards at Morrsions still trigger the 10% cash back?

  • aDifferentSimon says:

    27 Nov27 November 16:47

    500£ and a bag of haribo did last week

    • Mco says:

  Still can’t update my APIS info in my BAEC profile, presumably the damage from the ‘Planned improvements to Executive Club[…]’ continues.

  Typing in the new info and attempting to update tells me…
  “You are already logged in with a different account
  You will need to log out and log in again to access a different scheme.”
  …together with a button to log out.

  Needless to say, clicking on the button to log out and then logging in again produces exactly the same outcome.

  I am sure I could transfer Avios points into Nectar points earlier this week but not any longer online? Do we have to call up again?

  I remember years ago getting a good and beverage voucher from BA when some airport lounge was closed. Wondering if this happens due to closures due to covid? Lounge seems closed in LPA (Gran Canaria) at the moment. If they still do this, does it apply for club Europe only or for status holder also?

  • John says:

    27 Nov27 November 17:21

    Varies by airport

  • stevenhp1987 says:

    27 Nov27 November 17:58

    Haven’t had any such vouchers from BA since covid started when lounges are closed.

  At least write my name properly.
  If IHG wants to close accounts just because they have a lot of points, they can do so. But, go figure, loyalty schemes like people who have lots of points. It might be somehow correlated with the fact that people who have lots of points might spend money with that company.

    This was for David on the previous page.
