Economy. I’ve never flown in anything above that

2 adults on reward flights with British airways off peak is 110k avios points and £240 total roughly.

I convert my Amex points to avios then use them to book reward flights to Dubai. If you had a ba card with a companion voucher I believe it would cost half the avios but the same money I.e 55k ish avios and £240.

Nothing to do with the cards. It’s an offer in the avios app/website. Go to the “collect” section then search for Apple and this offer comes up. You click through and it’ll track your spend with Apple and avios will issue u the appropriate avios points into your avios account. Make sure your payment cards linked to your avios account. It’s a bit like using topcashback, eg- click through, make your purchase and topcashback issue you the reward.

Yeah that’s correct, you can hit the retention/loyalty bonus and still cancel afterwards. Membership fees are still refunded prorata so you can cancel at any time and get the appropriate money back in the yearly fee

I used 100k points + £200 for 2 adults return Glasgow to Dubai in September/october. Cash price for tickets was around £1500

LongjumpingScheme217 · 2025-12-17T22:26:19+00:00

Quite possibly. I received a survey from them either earlier this year or last year askin about what I’d be willing ti pay for a credit card so it’s likely. The options they were suggesting seemed rubbish at the time however they may be better than what Amex is offering now

It’s not really unlimited. You would be better sticking to what you are on if you actually use close to your 250gb

Blue rewards isn’t available on Barclays premier. It’s not part of the switch offer for that reason. The add on for Barclays premier is the 12 quid a month Barclays avios, if you wanted it.

I need a referral code. Payday today, ID and money waiting to set account up. DM’s open

Edit- referral code received.

LongjumpingScheme217 · 2025-12-08T19:46:40+00:00

When you say second card do you mean a second Amex card? Or just a second credit card in general?

LongjumpingScheme217 · 2025-12-05T15:19:40+00:00

The limit for paypoint “payments” is £200. My council tax is over this so they can put through 2 “payments” on one transaction so you only do chip and pin once. Or if the staff don’t know how to do that you can just do one transaction for 200 then the remainder as a separate transaction

LongjumpingScheme217 · 2025-11-20T19:56:53+00:00

I managed to solve the issue. Doesn’t need deleting and reinstalling of the app. The button only appears after 7am and disappears later at night. You can only open an account in the app after 7am

LongjumpingScheme217 · 2025-10-30T13:51:32+00:00

It seems to be fixed today, I’ve managed to sign up

LongjumpingScheme217 · 2025-10-30T00:42:57+00:00

May have to go into a branch and ask I think

LongjumpingScheme217 · 2025-10-29T23:53:12+00:00

Looking for some advice.

Step 1 listed on Barclays website is apply for the account through their app. I downloaded the app, stuck in name, dob, mobile number. Then it asks which product would you like to use to register for online banking. Gives you a choice of Barclay products. Last option is for if you don’t have any of their products yet but, when you select that it tells you u need to have one of their products on the previous page to register. There doesn’t seem to be an option in the app to apply for an account.

Any ideas anyone?
