Yes. As I recall, this has been reported here a long time ago. No credit card shuffles to boost points available to us.

Apologies for breaking in with a non-Cuba-related post. Is Georgia still considered to be 'emerging'? My vists were in 2011, 2015 and 2018 - all three times as part of a small tour group (being an older single female), the first and third with John Grahm Tours, which I can strongly recommend...

I've done a lot of searching and eventually came across Easy Travel Insurance, which proved to be virtually identical to Cover-More, and underwritten by Zurich. All the contact & claim numbers seem to be those of Cover-More. By increasing the excess and excluding trip cancellation I actually...

@infrequent_jim How did you find a travel insurance company that will offer just basic cover for delays, lost luggage etc ? I also used to use just platinum credit card cover, and have never made a claim in many years of travelling. But I'm now 82 and so over their 80 y.o. cut-off. Now I'm...

I requested a refund to my credit card a couple of months after the end of June cut off, and was very pleased to receive it in full - after a few days delay for updating the card's expiry date. Much better outcome than I had anticipated. I've now booked for next year using points + pay on the...

Oh dear, that rules it out then. I have no business and I wouldn't wish any illness on my sister. Do we have any idea how long those rules will stay in place?

I haven't been following this thread, but I discovered today that Australia is listed as a "travel corridor" country with the UK and exempt from quarantine on arrival. Singapore also apparently poses no problem for transit passengers from Australia. So could I travel now to visit my sister in...

Although I'm very far from being in the same league as you regarding assets, I had the same problem in trying to obtain a new credit card after retirement, with no pay-slip evidence of income. My advice is to hold firmly to whatever cards you have and keep them in good standing, as all the banks...

My hunch, based on no knowledge or science whatsoever, is that air conditioning, and in particular, the type that recirculates air albeit filtered, is a major contributor to the spread of the virus. Hence the high transmission rates on cruise ships, planes, and meatworks etc.

Meanwhile letters to and from the UK are taking 4 weeks in each direction. I'm not sure which end is the more to balame.

And a good proportion of the deaths recorded in Australia were (and still are) from people on cruise ships.

Trivial, I know, compared with what some people are facing - and this should perhaps be in the Moggies thread. I've been thinking about adopting an older cat for some while. Now I've located one in foster care that may suit me very well, my need being all the greater because of the current...

For excellent frozen meal deliveries I can strongly recommend "We Feed You". Lots of vegetarian and vegan options, but plenty for carnivores as well. (Better than Lite 'n Easy, I'm sure.) I discovered them when I wrenched my knee and couldn't get to shops or even face cooking for myself. Not...

Well now, I can't do that eitheras I don't have a mobile phone or wi fi account. However, I assume all transactions can be done on their website.

Asking again, does this account require SMS access?

What is the correct name for Santa Claus' little helpers? "Subordinate clauses."

I can personally recommend Kudu Travel, a UK company whose groups are usually only 12 or so. But I haven't been with them to South America.

Before we leave currency, how about "In for a penny, in for a pound." An elderly lady i used to visit described a social worker looking too smart for visiting a poor neighbourhood: "She was all dressed up like a tuppenny rabbit."
