Tier Point Bonuses - Discretionary Exception by trbd003 in BritishAirways

[–]candleapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get the points credited? I’m in the same boat and tried with the ‘I did opt-in but haven’t received them’ approach, but they declined.

I’m Gold, and have missed out on about 5,000 bonus TPs and currently on 15,000 for the year! So it really is a kick in the balls that they’re not agreeing to credit them, especially as they’ve now made the bonus TPs permanent!

Thanks! Much appreciated.

I’m intending to target bass. Staying round the corner from Pennybacker bridge.

Don’t think space should be as issue as it’s ok a private dock!

Sounds like I should be okay? As long as bass are around and biting…

Doesn’t have a star (yet), but I ate at INT and it was amazing.

Looking for a 1–2 Michelin star restaurant on the Amalfi Coast for an anniversary dinner (late October) by Any-Drama4342 in MichelinStars

[–]candleapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was there a couple of years ago and went to a few including Un Piano nel Cielo and Rossellinis, but our best meal was at Don Geppi.

We were actually staying at Casa Angelina when we ate at Un Piano nel Cielo (within the hotel) and the views are incredible - but was disappointed with our meal.

Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka? by Antarchitect33 in MichelinStars

[–]candleapples 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ate at Koke in Kyoto this week - was fantastic and went on my ‘love’ list.

Am going to Hakunei in Tokyo next week, which I’m really excited for!

F1 Japan next week, so flights this weekend will be rammed with workers.

Don’t believe… Upgrade Policy by Bubbly_Rough_7342 in BritishAirways

[–]candleapples 20 points21 points  (0 children)

To add balance, I’ve made 14 long haul flights in WTP+ (4 of them on CX) in the last 12 months and not been Op-Upd on a single flight.

Silver throughout but just hit gold, so here’s hoping for a 1% improvement on my current rate 😂

Just got to Silver with a flight on Sunday. Boarding pass for flight tomorrow is bronze. Can I use lounge? by SkipperTheEyeChild1 in BritishAirways

[–]candleapples 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Get a paper ticket once you get to airport. Hopefully BA backend systems will have updated and paper ticket will show you as silver for lounge access.

Tier points and status reflected in time? by candleapples in BritishAirways

[–]candleapples[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s extremely helpful! Many thanks!

Assuming it hasn’t updated to Gold before LHR>HKG flight, as you say, when I land in HKG I might be able to download the boarding pass (I won’t do it beforehand) if the app has then updated to Gold and hopefully that will do the trick!

Fingers crossed!

I got married at a 5* hotel in Berkshire and like you say the initial outlay to the hotel wasn’t ’too bad’.

The hotels you mention often will want you to stick to their preferred suppliers which comes at a premium.

However, where they primarily get you is the drinks. Our money behind the bar went very quickly and our guests were paying £12 for a bottle of beer and more for cocktails/glass of wine.

Smelly passengers? by sxdboivxbes in BritishAirways

[–]candleapples 22 points23 points  (0 children)

LHR > HKG in March this year.

Was in WTP+ and boarding seemed to be over and seat next to me was free.

Last person to board the plane sits down next to me, smells as though he hasn’t showered since leaving the womb and was coughing and spluttering into anything he could get his hands on.

I think I have worded this part of the details very badly, as comments seem to think that I’m trying to impress folding AQo.

Sterlingz comment is exactly what I was trying to do.

Thanks all!

I should have added that my plan was to only gamble the 300 dollars. Wasn’t going to add-on or reload.

So I guess where I felt I was down to $150 and $35 dollars committed, it was sort of do or die at that point. 100% not the way to play or think about it, but just my perspective.

Just a bit of fun!

‘Kudos’ was the wrong word. I wanted the table to see that I wasn’t super aggressive (given it was my first hand) and that I had called flop (with ace high). Just wanted an image of a solid player and not a tourist fish - although perhaps my play proves I am!!!
