A quick heads-up on another Flyertalk gathering, taking place in Glasgow. I happen to be in the city for work, so I’ve confirmed my attendance on this Flyertalk thread. If you’re in the area and want to tag along, just leave a comment in the thread link above. These gatherings are a great way for…
Black Circles, the tyre retailers and fitters, have got a semi-decent partnership with Tesco. On top of being able to claim 2.62% cashback at Topcashback, you can claim 1 Clubcard point per £1 you spend on a selected range of 19″ or 20″ Michelin tyres. The details are on this link.
I’ve just checked in at Hotel Des Indes in The Hague for the night, having booked a standard room not too long ago. I also hold Starwood Preferred Guest Platinum, which entitles me to an upgrade to the highest available ‘normal’ suite. For this hotel this is the Junior Suite.
I have a friend who’s staying in Grand Winston Den Haag (The Hague) in Rijswijk, and asked me about what to do in terms of air miles on his hotel stay. World Hotels don’t have a loyalty programme…yet. They announced the launch of one in February this year but I still haven’t seen anything being realised. But even…
At 5000 points per night, Priority Club’s Points Break are amongst the best value hotel redemptions you can make. At its most expensive, reward nights at an Intercontinental Hotel can cost 50 000 points per night, so this is a way to get the room for a tenth of its usual points cost.

Fares must be booked by 26th June 2013, and outbound travel must be between 25th June 2013 to 30th September 2013 and even earlier for some routes Minimum…
I feel this is a turning point for the Eurozone. You see, in The Netherlands, consumer debt (i.e. credit cards) isn’t prevalent at all. It’s nigh-on impossible to use any credit cards here, not even when buying train tickets or your doing your weekly groceries. Thus manufactured-spending is extremely difficult. I haven’t even got a…
I’d just spent the last two nights sleeping in Etihad’s Pearl Business Class lounge in Abu Dhabi and Royal Jordanian’s Crown Lounge in Amman prior to this flight. Two consecutive 13-hour layovers in airport lounges isn’t everyone’s idea of fun but this was my final straight and I hadn’t been home in 3 months. I…
