    Flybuy points transfer, does the first name needs to be identical

    Hi, Saw the 15% transfer bonus, so I'd like to transfer my flybuy points through. Everything else is identical except the first name is different. (Flybuy does not allow to change the first name after registration). So I wonder if anyone has experience about this? Cheers,

    Buy miles at redemption

    Just an FYI for members that EY still allow purchase of miles at very reasonable rates at time of redemption. I checked yesterday and the cost was 1.26 CPM (US$) which is pretty good even if their miles required are a bit higher. The only odd thing is that there doesn't seem to be a specific...

    Here I sit drinking a wee dram of Glenmorangie 10 year old, a drop very well matched to a Tuesday night, and I am suffering from "NOT buyer's remorse". I DID NOT buy alcohol when I came through duty free a couple of weekends ago!! I never (very seldom) get buyer's remorse as I am usually...
