Credit card points (such as MR) aren't counted. Airline miles earned on spend are.. we never said it was BIS miles

And I see now. He could have a hotel card though

I do have hotel cards, but I've never transferred miles to my airline account/s.

Ah, but do you have a hotel points earning credit card? I shudder to guess at the volume of points/miles you may have left on the table otherwise...

Given that I've never transferred hotel points to airline points, the question isn't germane to the issue at hand...

True, but it will at least assuage my worry that all that credit card spend has gone to waste...

Hmm, would that be because you're between applying for a new bmi card (after cancelling your previous)??

Just for your information (and a couple of others who have posted similar things), I will be updating the website with the hotel and flight information for do attendees only - there is a section on FT called Itineraries where other people who are not attending the do can post such information. Apologies to seem a bit hard, but it does take my time and effort to update the information - now obviously, I'm willing to do it for do attendees, but I'm not about to become a centralised "I'm in the area of the do, but not wanting/able to attend, can I meet people" service I'm afraid.

Sorry you can't make it to the do.

One of the great benefits that Jen is providing by keeping track of flights and hotels is that it allows folks to organize taxis or walks to the Do activities. It's nice to know who to make plans with for that hike through central London. Be very very careful though, as if you chose the wrong taxi companion, you'll **coughldsantkluau88cough** end up at a place with the right name but the wrong address. (Shades of Windmill Pub in 2003.) Let's just say that some of our attendees wouldn't have enjoyed the entertainment on offer.

Thanks, all, for the wishes for Lady JDiver's speedy recovery!

Meantime, I cancelled my AXON at Waldorf Hilton... and two FC award seats JFK-LHR-JFK on AA 122 Nov 9 and AA 105 Nov 14 (and connecting flights AA 24 and 177 between SFO and JFK.) No guarantees they released any of these into awards inventory, but...

I am still coming to the event, but can you please add a guest for me. I have also paid for his afternoon tea and dinner on the website. Thanks!

Please count me in as a maybe.

I actually have tickets to LHR for that very weekend, but may end up connecting to Spain rather than staying in London.
