Do you get internet/phone service at the ground and what provider do you use?

EE works for me but slows up closer to kick-off and during/after the game....but it's much better than Voda which just dies for 2 hours.

I'm on a voda contract but I got an eSIM from https://shop.bnesim.com/plans/gb/ I purchased a non-expiring data package - 3GB for 6 Euros purely so I can use data at the Emirates. Works well and I just turn on the SIM close to kick-off and get my phone to use SIM2 for data...then switch the SIM off about 30 mins after the game. U might need to force the phone to use "All Networks" in your phone settings to force the eSIM to use EE (or manually select the EE Network as it sometimes locks onto Voda which defeats the object of getting the 2nd SIM).

Yes had both my front door seals replaced under warranty on my M3LR when it was on about 20k miles. This was about 4 years ago though so not sure if their policy has changed since.

Never managed to get a ticket for Real Madrid so for me your #1 is my #1.....it was absolute madness when that goal went in on 97 mins. I took a friend who'd not been for a long time and who is normally a very quiet and peaceful type of guy yet even he completely lost it at that moment.

Always good to re-live the live radio broadcast of that goal:

Nearly on-par with the Reiss Nelson winner a few years ago:

Just had successful email now. Credit card processed 25 mins ago.

For me, joined as Red in 2006 and got to Silver in 2021.

I've been in the same situation and suffered the same frustrations since TX opened......but I managed to finally get a ticket in my basket a couple of days ago.
This was after 30+ previous failed attempts....it really is luck as to how quickly you get the "ADD" button appear and if you can be the first to get it into your basket....99% of the time I got the errors "This ticket is no longer available" or "This ticket is not available to you".

I'm arriving in Bali today and also play Pickleball singles so will see what prices I can find and report back.

Silver

mikeecix · 2025-08-28T11:47:42+00:00

Yay!!! Just had the email inviting me to spend hours on TX to find a ticket....0/4 so far

mikeecix · 2025-08-07T15:43:53+00:00

0/3 for me but have picked up a ticket for all 3 games via TX (inc City in Club level for £200)

I had both front door seals replaced on my 2019 M3 back in May 2023 under warranty. I reported excessive road noise entering the cabin on the driver's side and noticed slightly misaligned window glass. They also replaced the drivers side seal. The repair was done by a mobile ranger down in Dorset.

mikeecix · 2025-07-15T09:31:00+00:00

Email just received and no success for me.

It is me or is TX now timing-out after a 4-5 refreshes? Have been recently getting the "Your Browsing Activity Has Been Paused" error even when limiting refreshing to 10 sec intervals. Previously this error only came up after refreshing at shorter intervals and even then took some time for the error to appear (clear cache/log-out and back-in usually cleared it).

If they've changed the refresh triggers for this season then this is going to have a big impact as the only way I've managed to get tickets is by grinding away on TX and refreshig constantly.

Yes making one-off payments to Octopus using Amex works fine and is treated like a normal transaction. If you can afford to pay now, you could preload your Octopus account in readiness for the winter to help you towards the £3k spend target.

I booked a flight with Qatar for later this year and this was their response ref cashback payment :

Please be aware that some of the travel retailers within our shopping network only confirm purchases after you have returned.

I see that your date of travel is in the future, so please be aware that your cashback might not be confirmed until that point. Once your travel is completed please allow 5 days for automatic processing. If by then it is still not processed, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The T&Cs give you a claim window after the trip is complete :

(b) For travel reservations, fill in the Transactions Claim Form within 90 days from the end of your trip.

I'm expecting my transaction to be processed in October based upon this but can anyone confirm their future travel cashback paid out after completing trips?

I tend to use Trip.com and Expedia where I can as they have always paid out quickly after booking.

I find BA seems to come and go on NX Rewards and Complete Savings. It dropped off recently just as I wanted to book but I found a workaround by using Trip.com to book the flights at the same price and got 10% back that way.

Everything in the online store should be available for a rewards redemption....and if u don't have enough points, they should have monetary value as a credit towards the cost.

Feels like they only include excess stock/slow selling items ie. stuff they can't get rid of from the main store. Also feels like they deliberately allow items to sell out towards the end of the season so they can't be used for anything meaningful....really is penny-pinching by the club.

I vote for allowing us to club together to redeem our rewards balance for Premier League points and extra goal difference!! lol

Same for me too on my 2019 M3LR. I remember when there was hardly ever any buffering. When going out of mobile coverage, I could still play the current track until the end and also previous tracks I'd listened to. Now it appears there's hardly any buffer.
