    Furthest I get to travel with work is a frequent dash across the ring road to our other site. Expected to go on medilink at that.

    Did once get an all expenses trip to a southampton roundabout based travel inn for a conference, unfortunately it is currently in my top 5 grottiest places ever stayed list, i think its worth noting I did a whole year backpacing plus several 1 month backpacking excursions.

    In an old job I used to often have to travel to Newcastle and was always put up in the same place, I was convinced it was haunted and I HATED staying there. On my last visit a colleague in Newcastle asked where I was staying....then proceeded to tell me it was haunted:eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Hi, Well it's definitely not written into my contract - I don't think that either of them actually know that it exists to be honest, it's not something that would be on their radar. Didn't realise BA give cashback via Quidco so may look at that for the future so I guess that's answered my question. If there was a large purchase for something then perhaps I will reconsider but for the time being I think I will just keep it to myself and wait and see.

    Really nice to hear other's opinions and thanks PD on the name comment - I've come up with another one I would use now if I was to log in again but that will have to wait for another site:j

    Ag - I love your name too, very creative. I wish I'd come up with something like that for mine......

    Yes, for long haul it's 2%.

    You can also get cash back for opodo if its an airline that isn't signed up to quidco.

    I think you can even do easy jet.

    I've only really started checking everything on quidco, I didn't think about all of by business travel before, but it will all definitely be going through quidco going forward... Including car parking and car rental (if I'm the one that organises it..... Sometimes my business partner takes care of it. I'm sure he'll be overjoyed at my enthusiasm to take care of it going forward!)

    Time for coffee in bed.

    Then, need to have a shower and get ready as meeting my friend for a coffee a bit later.

    Like Bag Lady or something :D.
    Another vote for AG here :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Funny cos your username is one of my old nicknames at school!

    This could get quite profitable. I book BA a lot for trips to the USA ;-) I've only really bothered with TCB in the past as I thought they both pretty much did the name thing. You live and learn as they say - and certainly a lot from this forum :j
