    Not sure if this has been discussed before, but….

    The Android version of the NHS App now supports saving your COVID pass to Google Pay. The iOS version always supported Apple Wallet, but Android users previously had no option to get an offline pass except for saving the PDF – which isn’t formatted for mobile use.

    Yeah I believe this changed a few weeks ago.

    For the 241 voucher no? Isn’t that the whole point of the BAPP card? The earning rate is only the cherry on top. However yes, if you’re not planning to earn the voucher and use your Avios for it then there’s no point getting the BAPP.

    I’ve already said that we are merging the reply and quote buttons!

    A list of most recent posts would actually be very useful.

    Check the ‘recent topics’ button in the top right forum menu!

    ‘Recent posts’ would immediately surface the post messages itself though. ‘Recent topics’ doesn’t.

    Nothing was wrong with daily chat threads, no need for these hard to navigate forums. Classic case of if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

    There were a few things wrong, such as the inability to edit your post, or not getting any notification when people reply to your comment – to name a few.

    That and the fact that questions that have been answered previously will constantly be asked again because it’s near impossible to find the original thread. I will say that there are still a few things missing with the current forum that is crucially needed, such as the aforementioned notifications, ability to like a post, and my beloved dark mode. It would also be nice if there’s the ability to upload photos without having to resort to a third-party service.

    I think you should have posted this under the BA section on here….

    This was in reply to NorthernLass above….I hit her Reply, but my response has ended up down here for some reason !

    This is normal. We’ve de-activated nesting in the forum.

    In the next few days we will merge the ‘reply’ and ‘quote’ buttons so there is only one option – to quote a reply.

    May I ask the reason behind deactivating nesting?

    Sounds like the best thing to do going forward is to make sure you track and purchase one item per order then?

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

    Or better yet, jump directly to the last post you’ve read in a thread like most other forums do.

    Is anyone else feeling a bit lost today with this new forum? My head hurts trying to read and navigate it and just feels like so much useful info will be missed in all the sub groups of the sub groups of the sub groups which you could just pick up scrolling through the daily chat. I miss the good old days 🙁

    I do wish there was an option to view ‘recent posts’ rather than ‘recent topics’ – this would probably be more useful to me and quicker to glance through.

    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…

    What about the hassle of actually upgrading/downgrading the card? Last I heard it involved mailing the application forms back and forth?

    I have one for a few years. I wonder if there’s any pattern in HSBC offers of bonus on points transfers to Avios?

    They ran the bonus point transfer offer during August of 2021, 2019 and 2018 if that’s what you meant?

    Rhys: I opened the forum on mobile this morning for the first time, and it appears the changes you made haven’t been applied to the mobile stylesheet, which still has the same white background etc.

    Actually it does work – you’ll just need to force clear the cache for the website. If you’re on iOS, go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > swipe left on the headforpoints.com row and tap “Delete”.

    That’s likely because posts are being moderated and approved before it appears.

    You should add a note that the Chase debit card cashback is only available for your first 12 months.

    Sad to say I received an email from haveibeenpwned yesterday saying that Gravatar had a breach on October 3, 2020 which leaked my email address, name, and username.

    @Rhys Jones

    links need to open in a new window/tab – at the moment they open in the same one (_self)

    Apologies – that is actually my fault. When I added the link, there was an option to open the link in a new browser window but I forgot to enable it.

    If you’re logged out, this topic has a “Topic closed” badge in the top-right with a 🔒 when it clearly isn’t. Maybe it meant topic locked?

    Does the forum’s account page layout look broken for anyone else?

    According to Alan here, it’s not worth it.

    Barclays mortgage bonus is going down from £5 per month to £3 as well.
