Seems to be double miles across all retailers - not sure if it ends at midnight on 15th as I can't log in - think OH is using parental controls to block it again... :D

Has this been on for a while? I remember someone saying they got 12 points per pound on hotels.com a few weeks ago, which was about twice what it usually was. Or has that gone to 24 points per pound?

That was me Smid in my Trip Report from bookings made in January when there was a double miles promotion on then :D - but it is again at 12 points per £ :cool:

Has anyone had issues loading the shops away page? When I click on shop now I gate a gateway error.

That was the problem for me yesterday - however it seems now to be fixed, phew I thought for a minute I was being blocked/banned due overuse... :blush:

You know when you really want to kick yourself?

I just bought a brand new Mac! £900 worth of MacMini and gibbons to go with it! Guess what I forgot to do before hand?! >-( >-( >-( >-( >-( >-(

However on the plus side, the forum looks amazing on my TV though said Mac!

dont worry about it - you will find a lot of retailers give reduced miles for apple stuff, because their margins are small.

Also, seems hot on the heels of Avios/BA who had a double miles the other weekend.
