Oh, what are the AmEx benefits? Hotel discounts in London and Los Angeles?

Long gone in the recycle bin but didn't see any discounts. More to use the fine hotels and resorts and where to go ideas think

haha nah. it was under my partner's name so i thought she bought it online. The packaging is from Langton wines not Amex.

i did put through quite a lot during the double points promo. And subsequently spent half a million on luxury goods as well (business related). The average spend has been a couple of grand in the last 3 months and will probably continue to be the case going forward

If it had been Qantas Wine, then you may have ended up with the left-over Pommery.

6 * Pommery Brut Royal Champagne NV $22.50 / bottle QF wines

Good deal on the Pommery. Right in time for Christmas :)

Hi all, prob. covered in this thread but can't seem to find it. I have a 400$ Travel Credit expiring end of March. If I book now and cancel in say April or May (after the expirty date) .. do you know what happens with the travel credit - is it forfeited?

Just bought my wife 75$ of merch on Net-A-Porter .. use the code FIRST10 if it is your first order there to get 10% off and use the Cash rewards site for cash back too. we get another credit in the 2nd half of the year. For men you can use the Mr. Porter site but it is in GBP with exchange fees so all oyu can get is a couple pairs of socks (but nice ones at that!)

Maybe it was just me, but mr Porter/net-a-porter felt overpriced, even for the overpriced stuff they were selling.

Mate it is ridiculous yes! Told my wife .. sort by Price ascending!

$75 is a nice "gesture" but unfortunately, doesn't really touch the sides unless you're looking for something specific and the $75 will give you a modest "discount".

 

[thatsthatmattressman]

Some socks and underwear or some skin care products / shampoo can be gotten for under 75$ my wife got a nice bracelet and some facecloths for 75$ ..the bracelets are a no brainer as a stylish gift

The credit still hasn't come onto my account and I did my purchase around the 2 or 3 of Feb

If you like/use Aesop products in your bathroom at home, the $75 could get you very close to two refills of hand wash (500ml each). That's what I'm going to be spending my credit on, as would have otherwise had to buy from Aesop directly.
