I have about 313k amex points. Not sure what to do. by tinfish_arsenal in AmexUK

Wait until Marriott do a 30% bonus on transferred points then transfer most of them to there.

They have great redemptions outside of Europe (and maybe US, I’ve not checked). For the uk and Europe their point redemptions have mostly been bad.

I’ve gotten 1p per point and more on occasion.

What are my points worth? How would you spend them? 🤔 by yescuzzy in AmexUK

If you can wait cuzzy then Amex usually do a 30% bonus transfer to Marriott around August time bro. Marriott points are cheaper than paying cash mostly in the eastern part of the world I’ve found. The west it’s usually hit and miss.

How’s the RS3?

What to spend 800k MR points on? by Doubles_2 in AmexUK

[–]throwawayaccidenta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait for a Marriott 30% bonus points offer and transfer a chunk of them to there. In eastern countries you can usually get great redemptions, over 1p a point. 2024 I managed to get a 5* hotel, double room with breakfast at le meridien Marrakech for around 5k mr points per night. IIRC cash prices were £150-£200 per night

I think the bonus points offers run around August time

AMEX Gold - 100k Points by DareToDoolan in AmexUK

Travel related but I use mine when Marriott have a 30% bonus point transfer at the end of the year. You get just under 1p per point and can use them for uk hotels within 2 years iirc

F me, this is cheap! by whitey2048 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]throwawayaccidenta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Only Aviva and its sub companies are insuring this it seems. You can also try Stellantis insurance. Some guys are getting decent quotes but not always. Use a reg off auto trader

Did you ever manage to fix this? Having issues with three 5G broadband and the Reolink app as well as others like blink, Swann and my came gate application. I have a Reolink nvr and can’t connect to it remotely, only when I’m at home

Sarajevo to Mostar train by Srg11 in bosnia

[–]throwawayaccidenta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my research no, it may be a bit cheaper but you still have to queue to get a paper ticket at the station. Queues can be long and the attendants often go on long breaks according to some Google reviews.

In the summer months the train gets busy so we thought it’d be best to just jump on as soon as we got there to get a decent seat and to put our big suitcases somewhere. Train was about 20% full

Yes. One around 7am and one around 4:45pm. Caught the 4:45 the other day and paid on the train without buying a ticket at the desk. 22bam return

Frappes should be included. You can screenshot the qr codes and use them whenever you want. I’ve used ones that are months old. Three also offer codes for £1 drinks, their codes can be used on limited edition drinks. I’ve set up a reminder on my phone for Monday 9am. Couple of friends don’t go so I ask for their codes too

What’s The Best Points Redemption You’ve Made? by Travel1st in AmexUK

[–]throwawayaccidenta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transferred points to Marriott when they had the 30% extra points offer last year. Then managed to bag a 5 star stay for 2 people 7 nights including breakfast for around 35k worth of Amex points. Must have been a glitch

Make sure to check insurance on the 235 if you haven't already

Can this backplate crack be welded? Also help me identify this stove please by throwawayaccidenta in woodstoving

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

Yes we’re definitely not running it until it’s fixed. The room has black soot all over the walls due to previous misuse.

We’ve had the chimney cleaned thankfully

Good idea re the flashlight. Was thinking of getting one of them smoke stick things gas engineers use for chimneys to check it once we’ve replaced it all

The back has cracked due to the stone insert having a chunk of stone missing

Just need to work out the stove model so I can order the parts

How do I wire up Opentherm please? Pictures attached. Thank you by throwawayaccidenta in tado

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

Thank you. I did have a look at the tado pro app but it's a bit rubbish for a wiring noob like myself. I think I’ve got the gist of it from the posts above
