Mrs Roger got hers a couple of days ago, but I'm still waiting.

Our purchase parameters were identical (other than the qualifying values), and I may have acted as her technical advisor. I demand compo.

Trying to buy £501 GBP TC's but the system rounds it up to £550. Dont want to buy that many because the charge is £11.25 compared to £8.25 for the amount I want.

It states for orders placed between xx date and 31st March, so I should still get the bonus if I buy the currency today but don't collect until 6th April - yes?

Being a bit lazy here but trust me I have tried to read and re-read this thread and keep getting lost!

Basically I have approx £300 to make up to 1000 MR before I opt out of my Platinum Card (get some of the £450 back) if I get £300 of currency delivered what's the best link to use and how many points can I expect?

Can I do Sterling TCs?

(I use Amex BA Black, Amex Plat and TCB)

thanks all in advance

My new luggage tag!!

www.travelmoneynow.com will do it, you'll get the usual spend points on Plat ie 1 per £1. There will be no charges of any sort on the card.

The transaction may or may not be refused, they seem to be fussy on letting new cardholders do FX transactions but you are an existing client so may be OK.

I got the bonus for purchase of Sterling TCs. Could have been a mistake though.
