    A bit presumptuous, don't you think?

    given we are never in possession of the full story aren't all replies on forums presumptuous to a greater or lesser extent?
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....
  • Thanks everyone, I rang the number and got it sorted. The booking error was because the Avios rooms had been filled - even though there were vacancies at the hotel. This just brought home to me how difficult these points can be to spend, so I ended up using the points elsewhere.

    I got about £200 worth of value from them, so they were definitely worth worrying about!

    No.

    We are in full possession in this case. The OP had tens of thousands of points.


    Anyway, I don't want to make a drama of it. It was a throwaway comment. Let that be an end to it.
