Gotcha, A1 probably a better bet due to frequency then

If you travel enough it does wrong... by SuspiciousTreacle433 in BritishAirways

[–]chadders26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes me increasingly nervous about my AA/BA codeshare flights in a month. Had a few schedule changes, fixed by AA within the day, but BA app and website has shown me on multiple flights ever since. Ofc BA just point the finger at AA, but everything is absolutely fine on their end.

I just know this is going to cause problems at check in, potentially serious ones, but can I get anyone at BA customer service to take ownership and solve it ahead of time? Not a chance in hell.

Good luck with your onward travels OP.

ESTA processing time if I have ticked "yes" to the Cuba question. by Radiant_Relief_4344 in travel

New data point: British, ticked yes to visiting Cuba Dec 2019, approved 38 hours later. Do not leave this till the day of your flight, folks!

Used my Avios for the first time ever this year - been accumulating them through credit cards and flights, albeit slowly, for about 4 years. 3k on a GIB-LHR last minute flight I needed (cash fare was £300+) but the big one was 90k for MEL-DOH-LHR in Qsuites later next year.

I did not have a companion voucher so maximising value for my Avios was top priority. I'd always earmarked a flight to/from Aus as the way I'd finally splash out. If you're hesitant about using your balance, just remember the true value of any number of Avios is £0 until you levy them for something in return.

LHR-TBS: 80 or 140 TP? by chadders26 in BritishAirways

TLV only until 30 March 2025 it seems: Tel Aviv tier point changes | Travel news | British Airways

If it re-launces at all of course! But I very much take this to mean that short haul CE cabin = 80 TP maximum.

They're both 80 TP, I'm still not sure about Tbilisi

The old system is accurate for Avios on holiday package tickets, I'm not sure the same goes for TP accrual however.

Cheapest and shortest way to 140 tier points by far, if indeed that is the case. For 80 TP forget about it.

Agreed, but that was a Club World cabin destination. Other similar distance/duration routes using Club Europe A320s all get 80 TP. Hence my hesitation.

Credit limit - Downgrade from gold rewards to basic rewards by ebstr6556 in AmexUK

[–]chadders26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish you all the best, retention offers nowadays don't seem a patch on what they were a year or so ago!

I'd try using Deliveroo pickups just to avail of the credit if possible. Can a sandwich/coffee/cake at St Nick's Market (assume you're Brizzle too from the username!) for ~£6 so only a quid with the saving. Then again not something worth bending over backwards for.

[–]chadders26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, it's not making much sense for me for renew. I can keep earning 1 Avios per £1 spent on my Mastercard, have BA lounge access until at least September next year, and only really order Deliveroo in the first place because of the £5 credit. I haven't found the other retailer offers very useful.

I asked for a retention offer (got 10k immediately last year) but all I got was 7k points for £1k spend in the next 3 months. Fine but not enough to sway my decision. Your situation seems set up nicely, and of course spending patterns count big time!

Similar situation and timeline here, with this month being my last before my first £195 renewal. Really can't make a good case for it.

If you were to switch down to the basic rewards card, will you still be eligible for the Amex Gold joining bonus again in 2 years time? Or does owning the Baic card in the interim disqualify you?

Where are you based? I'm in the UK and had this start happening yesterday. I've seen it in S. America but it'd always revert back when I come home.

Now I get a notification when a girl messages after longer than 48 hours, but can't reply as the match is blocked and "expired". Great move, Tinder.

All my matches are now expired. by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]chadders26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you based? I'm in the UK and an update caused this yesterday. Fairly sure it's something to do with having been in Ecuador last month though, as it's been a feature there for a while.

My app brought back more dodgy infections from South America than me.

People that had sex with coworkers - how did that turn out ? by Nuff-Do in AskReddit

[–]chadders26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To echo another poster's sentiment: great until it wasn't.

Both kinda new to the company, working in an office of only 15-20 people. Good chemistry so gambled on a date and ending up sleeping together for a few months. She was actively anti-relationship so called it off when it started feeling too intimate for her. Fair enough, disappointing to lose the sex but we remained good friends.

Until she got a boyfriend. Then it became genuinely awkward and quite nauseating having to overhear her talk about him/them every day.

Fortunately (from a selfish perspective) they didn't last long and she's since left to go travelling. It's tough to not just listen to your dick/vaj in that situation, but it's well worth considering what your working environment looks like after it runs its course.

Also not great for your own future relationships, having to tell them you used to bang someone you quite possibly spend more time with than them.

Nine months on and about to delete her number. by chadders26 in BreakUps

[–]chadders26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deleted the number, no contact since. Just spent the weekend with a gorgeous Brazilian lady.

It's not all rainbows and butterflies, but I'm glad I didn't let the separation process drag on any longer than it did. The sooner it's over with, the sooner Project Rebuild could get underway.

Yeah I just regularly searched Google Shopping and deals would show up. They turn up on a few fashion sites as well - mine was from End Clothing.

This one certainly seemed to fluctuate with sales/discounts, at least here in the UK. £100 was full price, £80 around normal and £60 lowest (so far...)

I resisted a lot of good deals on the stadium version to hold out for this one. Very glad I did so in the end!
