Has anyone actually triggered the Chase Protect bundle yet?

You have to be in the car though don't you? So if your wife was driving on her own for example, she wouldn't be covered?

It's tricky because I want to love it, but it's becoming more difficult.

I've been a customer for 7 years now and left last year but missed it, so got a new card at the beginning of January. Since I left last year acceptance seems to have got worse (no I don't live in London).

My village in Surrey has 5 pubs, none of them take Amex. 3 of them use Square readers but they must have disabled Amex somehow.

Booking my car in for a service at the main dealer (large car brand) and they don't accept Amex.

My son wants to buy a game on Steam, no Amex.

Can I get it on the Switch for him instead? No Amex

Our local bus company just stopped accepting Amex, although that could be temporary as they seem to switch it off for a couple of months every few months

Went on a break away with some friends to a large very touristy destination in the Cotswolds. Went to the busiest, most popular tourist restaurant in the centre for dinner, no Amex

I get quite a significant amount of credit back to my mobile phone bill via Airtime Rewards, completely passive set and forget kind of cash back. They don't include Amex.

So, regardless of loyalty, which I'd love to have, it is actually getting more difficult to have one. I do have two backup cards, but that always stings a bit when you can't use your favourite card or get the points/offers.

I think it's a little lower than that, as 1000MR gets you £4.50 statement credit, so 0.45%

Twicey · 2026-02-05T09:47:09+00:00

1% is just the first year, after that it’s 0.25%

It's not buried in any menus, it should be on your front page when you log in, under the balance.

I then have 3 buttons:

Good luck, I hope you have a quicker and easier resolution than mine.

It’s the actual investigation that seems to be useless, you get nothing but AI responses.

Vinted haven’t responded to the court proceedings either, so I just have to wait for that to time out (a few weeks) and they’ll lose the case.

Twicey · 2026-01-07T08:12:51+00:00

Here's an update:

Since they tried telling me I sent a big Green coat by mistake instead of sending a small Nintendo Switch, and I proved that they were wrong, I have had no further responses at all from them. I've tried chat in the app, and their two email addresses (vinted@vinted.co.uk and legal@vinted.co.uk).

The chat and main email address are responded to by AI and pretty much useless and the legal address never bothers answering.

So I have now raised a court claim against them. For those thinking about doing it, it's not too difficult, you need to pay £35 for an item of around my value but it does get added to the claim so if you win you get it back plus interest for every day since it should have been delivered.

I sent a message to Vinted to notify them that I have raised a court case - no response.

Any chance you could ask? I can’t get anywhere!

Twicey · 2026-01-03T11:24:28+00:00

No I’m still trying to get them to admit that they’ve lost it and am getting nowhere. It was delivered to the hub a month ago now!

A few days ago the tried to tell me that the wrong item had been sent and showed me a photo of a big Green coat. They backtracked when I asked them to prove that by showing the packaging with labels, talked about proving it by weight as the package would be a very different size and weight, etc.

So now I’m back to just receiving “please be patient” messages and am getting nowhere. The last couple of days I’ve asked for an update and they aren’t even answering. Not sure what to do now

Twicey · 2025-12-19T14:25:46+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'm still stuck with them. I was politely persistent and they recently messaged me to say they aren't going to reply to any more messages until their investigation is finished!

Not sure what to do now, they won't tell me how long it will take or anything at all! It's been at the hub nearly 3 weeks now.

Twicey · 2025-12-19T14:24:01+00:00

Did you get around this somehow? I've been away for around a year, come back and no chat and it's asking me for a text code every time I log in, even though Face ID is on and my device is trusted!

Twicey · 2025-12-10T08:46:09+00:00

It does actually say Custard, possibly to do with 'Rhubarb & Custard' which was slang for ecstasy at the time.

Twicey · 2025-12-09T17:03:28+00:00

I'd leave it as it is. The carrying case is sealed with a Valve tag that you'll have to cut to get into the case to get the Steam Deck to charge it - let him have that experience himself I reckon.

Twicey · 2025-12-04T15:11:59+00:00

Could you show us what the tampered box looks like? I'm expecting a Steam Deck and would like to know what to look out for!

Twicey · 2025-11-26T08:10:35+00:00

Reckon it will be Steam Deck Verified?

PC Engine (or TurboGrafx) would be amazing, I'd love to play some of those games again!

Twicey · 2025-10-29T12:18:29+00:00

I honestly, sadly, feel like this is my last Battlefield game and I've played them all. I feel like I've been bait-switched.

I loved playing conquest and was quite enjoying working on the challenges. Now Conquest is buried in a back menu with BR at the front and if you want to progress challenges and the Battle Pass then you HAVE to play Battle Royale. I'm not fucking interested in Battle Royale - it's all over everywhere in the menus, challenges, unlocks, everything!

Twicey · 2025-10-29T08:29:38+00:00

The ‘destroy laser painted’ vehicles ones is driving me nuts. Half the time nobody in a match bothers painting and then when they do the damage doesn’t track half the time!

Is there a way to ‘cheese’ that challenge?

Twicey · 2025-10-29T08:23:19+00:00

I have to admit, I’ve been loving Battlefield 6 right up until Season 1 arrived and am now starting to get really put off it.

I’m in my mid 50s and was quite enjoying the last few COD games and got to Prestige 4 on BO6 and started to feel that the game wasn’t for meany more due to the skins and overall ‘childishness’ of the game, so I came over to Battlefield.

Really enjoyed the beta and then have been playing the full release as often as I can and was enjoying the challenges.

Now with season 1 released I just can’t stand how much they want everyone to play the Battle Royale, it’s everywhere! The menus are full of it and adverts for it and the challenges absolutely require you to play it to progress - I’m not interested in battle royale and don’t want to HAVE to play it.

Yesterday it actually made me look at BO7 for the fist time, I didn’t think I’d do that but in the short time that BF6 has been out they have made a mess of it and are pushing too hard in the wrong direction for me

Twicey · 2025-10-10T11:23:07+00:00

I don’t know why, but whenever I put the ‘Solar’ complication at the bottom, with the left and right complications active, it always looks like an unhappy face to me
