    BA ViewTag Electronic Bag Tag

    I have a couple of BA ViewTag electronic bag tags that were introduced in 2019 I was just looking at how to clear the data from a broken tag before I throw it out and it seems that the Company that makes the tag no longer exists (at least their website doesn't) and BA appears to have purged all...

    Does anyone have any recommendations for an airport hotel in Lisbon - thinking Bonvoy, IHG, Accor, Hilton. Can’t see any in their Apps other than a Holiday Inn Express which is not really my style. Am I missing anything?

    Qantas Money [app error message]

    So, is there ever a time when this error message is not displayed on the Qantas Money iOS (iPhone) app? Had the app for a couple of weeks and it’s been permanently displayed but bears no relationship to how the app is actually functioning on the day

    Amex Reserve $400 Travel Credit

    I have the Platinum Reserve credit card with the (for now) grandfathered $400 travel credit. I don’t use the card and keep it only to retain the travel credit. It has an unnecessarily large credit limit (Especially so given that I don’t use the card) If I were to reduce the credit limit, does...

    Credit Card Points Transfer to QR

    Just opened a QRPC account yesterday and linked it to my BAEC account. Is there any Australian credit card that transfers at a reasonable rate to QR? Amex Plat doesn't. Whilst the US Gold doesn't, it does transfer to the BAEC but that would be a slow old process. I believe that the Commbank...

    Avis FTP

    Just used the app to book an Avis car in the UK for a week early next year. After having hit the ‘Enter’ button, a pop-up appeared saying that I may be charged an FTP fee.

    A colleague of mine achieved Virgin Platinum Status for the first time in min-November Her membership card in her phone wallet reflects the new tier but she has heard nothing from VA.
