What if I have one on my account and Mrs P has one on hers.

Do you think its possible we could use both together and get a 4-4-2 on 1 PNR ?

P.S I think, I we need to have another child so we can get better redemption value

Not if the 2 accounts are separate. Not sure if it can be done if both are in a household account, but I guess not. Oly difference is that you may have to pay for seat selection on one booking if only you have status. If you are Gold, I believe you can ring and link the 2 PNRs which presumably lets you do seats for all. If none ofyou have status, 2 PNRs make no difference anyway.

Hi Raffles

By this do you mean that you had 2 x 241 AMEX vouchers and 4 of people travelled (4 including you)

or

do you mean you + 4 other people travelled (5 in total) on your 2 x 241 vouchers ?


I assume the former ...otherwise we have made quite an exciting discovery!

thanks

The former, apologies for poor wording. But correcting text on an ipad is such a pain!

Well delighted to have got home today to find my application for the Amex PP card has been successful and that it will be with me soon! They were unable to clarify the mystery of whether it was 18k or 25k (I did check on 3 different computers to make sure I wasn't going mad) so would have to check with BA themselves if it was a special offer they were doing. Either way its all good and I have some spend lined up to get to the 3k, and hopefully will get to the 2-4-1 within the year @:-)

What has this forum turned me into, I feel quite sad about getting excited over Avios and a credit card

To reach the 10k spend - basically everything we can, he is getting new ski boots, I am getting new furniture, we both have other holidays to take, all will be bunged on the card, I'm going to offer more to just pay for things myself (e.g. when out for meals with friends) and then get cash or bank transfers back from other people! Spending the 10k also means 15,000 in miles (more if any of it goes on BA flights) plus 18k Avio bonus and if any of the above is done through the eStore it multiplies even more...

We are both unattached and child-free so whilst all our income is indulgently spent on Number 1 and savings accounts, we dont have the same overheads (and therefore potential card spend) as a family, so makes sense to combine it when we can. I draw the line at doing peoples shopping for them on the card though!

You need a 'household' income of at least 30,000 a year for both BA Amex cards.
