Anybody know if you have a credit card and the charge card, if you can ‘transfer’ both via global transfer to a new country? I know it’s not technically a transfer.
Back to having some good Marriott deals on both my Amex’s!
BA - Spend £500, £100 cashback (will save us £100 for Eurovision)
Marriott - Spend £200, £75 cashback (will save us £75 for upcoming trip to Plymouth)
About time, now eagerly waiting for Hilton and Radisson offers.
Does look like the Marriott spend has increased as it use to be spend £400 and get £100 back.
Also there’s been an update today on iOS and seems you can manage your credit limit and reallocate your combined limit between your cards in the app now:
Does anyone know if it’s possible to upgrade the blue rewards card to the gold card, and if you still get the free year?
You can ask via chat and they should let you if eligible. A new application will be a soft check anyway.
It just threw me a message saying I had to call up, hence asking here.
I’ll ask for a representative first and then try asking.
Edit: Yeah they still need you to call apparently as it’s a change to your card member agreement but should be doable. Had the rewards card for donkeys, figured I might as well get the gold card benefits for free for a year and then downgrade again
Update is on my iOS but not on android yet
Says for me I can’t do anything to reallocate limits as there’s no compatible cards. I have one MR and one cashback, so guess you can’t even transfer limits between different reward programs either?
I transferred limit from my cashback card to my rewards card the other day, so it is possible, but I did it via chat.
I went from blue to gold and they moved over my credit limit so I now have £30k.
Had you downgraded to blue from gold previously? I wouldn’t mind a bump back up again for a free year
No. I had Blue for about a year and then moved to Gold. They closed Blue and moved credit over.
So it was a new application?
Well I suppose it was. Had blue and applied for gold. Did it via the chat.
I don’t know all the possible combinations but I can reallocate between different reward cards (British Airways and Marriott cards).
I needed to renew my vehicle tax and noticed that Amex was listed as a payment option, so decided to use it.
Unless I overlooked it, I don’t remember it being an option last year.
I have been pestering them behind the scenes for a good while now. Thought it was falling on deaf ears but perhaps not. You can thank me later
I just tested the new reallocate credit limit feature in app. It’s increased the credit limit on the receiving card, but hasn’t reduced the limit on the donor card!
Not sure if I should tell them or not
Try moving it back and see what happens. Wonder at what point they would catch on? £100k? £million?
