I got married last year, and am finally getting around to changing my name - or rather the husband is starting to notice that lots of things still bear my maiden name even though he thought he had persuaded me to change it. I am trying to figure out the best strategy for doing this, particularly as regards any potential problems with my Tesco and Amex accounts. I would really appreciate your help in order that I don't trip up on anything stupid.

As it stands at the moment I have the following in my maiden name:

I have read a few other threads in the forum and I can see that it is relatively straightforward to change my name on my BAEC account by contacting them and then faxing in copies of passport and marriage cert. I don't have any flights booked in my 'old' name and probably won't be booking anything in the next couple of weeks.

I have about 100 Tesco points built up since the last statement date, but I think the next statement date isn't for several months so I should have time to make changes without ending up with a mismatch between the name on my vouchers and the name on my BAEC account.

So, I think I should do the following:

- transfer my tesco vouchers to my BAEC
- mail in my request to Amex to update my name
- fax in my request to BAEC
- change my name online on Tesco

So, once I have done all of the above, do you think I will have any trouble using my already-issued 241 voucher in a different name from that it was actually issued in? Have I missed anything else obvious?
