If we decide to keep the chat thread long term we will automate it!

Please don’t! (I mean don’t keep the chat thread)

Looks like Marriott offers (50 off 200, and 100 off 400) on Amex have been extended. Was originally until 31/12/2021, but now showing as expiring 28/02/2022.

Brilliant! Thanks!

I’m finding the forum a huge time saver. After a couple of minutes I just give up and stop reading!

Having a daily chat thread in a forum seems to be the worst of both worlds.

Exactly. It’s a bit like VAR in football. The forum is great and saves lot of time, but becoming pointless with a daily chat thread.

Chat thread is very difficult to follow. Used to be such a relaxing read but has turned into a memory exercise matching questions to replies. Also some beloved regular posters seem MIA.

Pointless having a daily thread. Create a thread for new deals if that’s the aim.

Apart from that, the forum is very good and saves a lot of time in ignoring threads you aren’t interested in.

great to be on the forums finally!

less flight related and more investing related – what do finance guys on here think of the possibility of an impending ‘crash’ or further pullback in stocks? seems like there is a big announcement on interest rates tomorrow by the US Fed that might swing it one way or the other?

Rate hike expectations are mostly already baked in. The question is about the timing.
If you invest for long term, ignore the noise. If you want your money back in less than 3 years, move it to a savings account.

I know this has been asked many times, but I can’t track down a previous thread.

If I’m looking to cancel a 241 avios redemption (sad times as was also 50% off) am I better of taking FTV or paying the cancellation fee? This is for an old style 241 so wanting flexibility to use those avios with the premium plus voucher instead. If I take FTV, can I later get this converted to avios (and tax refund)?

Thanks very much!

This is exactly why we need to stop the daily threads.
Until that happens, most people won’t take the forum seriously.

Would be great if the latest page on this daily thread opens first, similar to the daily chat page we had.

When upgrading or applying for the paid version, will there be a review of premier status?

+1 for Wise. Great customer service and one of the best rates. Been using it for 4 years.
