    Yes – you can buy up to 200,000 plus the bonus points in the current offer window, irrespective of whether you have bought other points this calendar year. On the buy points page T&Cs it says:
    2. A member can purchase a total of 100,000 points each calendar year, in increments of 1,000 points. Between 1st December and midnight GMT 21st December 2021, the limit has been reset and increased to 200,000. A member can purchase a total of 200,000 points each, in increments of 1,000 points. Members who have bought points since January 2021 will be able to buy up to 200,000 points within the campaign period.

    As my previous few posts highlight – the formatting of each post box causes confusion as to which post the REPLY/QUOTE buttons belong to unless you scroll up to the top of the screen to check that these appear as a header (rather than footer) on the first post of the page…

    Also, as the replies will not be nested under the original post, a notification function when someone replies to your post is really essential.

    Does anyone have the Marriott Bonvoy customer service phone number in the UK?

    Try 02035646335 – this is the number that deals with points transfers between members etc.

    Use BA’s Chronomics link and the price reduces to £61.74 🙂 (No need to be flying BA)

    PS You can earn the World Elite card sign-up bonus again after a six month gap, much better than the 24 months that Amex impose. That could make the annual fee more palatable and the gaps can be filled with the free card…

    It may be easier to just cancel and then complete a separate application for the new card, such is the general incompetence of HSBC administration!

    Take a look at this article from earlier this year – you may get a refund but be prepared for a fight!
