What help do you want, stumpy?

Looks like you know what you're after, so just a case of having a scoot around ebookers, expedia, etc., and then comparing it with anything you can get direct.

Also worth taking into consideration how much punting/playing you do, as you can get poker rates, too.

My old man had airmiles coming out of his ears, so got a flight next summer for an early bday/xmas present. I've been looking at a few places, but nothing really about yet.

You aren't going to find it easier than starting at trivago.  The prices are fairly brutal as EDC is in the middle.  Can you change dates?  I guess that you could knock 30 or 40% off these prices in another fortnight nearby.

In the too good to be true stakes. that Wynn price looks close to the normal one.  Not sure if they'll honour it though.  £160 at the Wynn vs £94 at the monte carlo.   Aria is already £172 a  night

12% tax + resort fees, at a guess.

~$30 a night at most places on the strip.

12% = $170 ISH

33.60= $470 ISH

and i pay this on arrival?  this is based on £1167 monte carlo ive found on bookings>com

[Marky147]

You can probably pay on arrival if you want to.

I had 10 nights at The D through them, and I only paid on checkout.

Guess it's a different matter if you're buying the 'non-refundable' option on their site.

Thanks for posting this.  I took this out in May and got my statement the other day.  Not only did I get 12k points for taking out the £1000 ISA, but it had increased in value by £70 since I took it out.  Going to have to get the credit card too now.

Doobs... Always printing

They've still got that in there, but 23/30 June not available on the site atm.

Stayed there for 10nights when I extended for UFC, and thought it was superb value.

up to 10,000 or 25,000 miles depending on which card you go for, looks like some have been successful in applying for both. Both cards also offer Econ to PE upgrade vouchers when you achieve a set spend.

[tonytats]

The white card is free ,£2 spend = 1 mile ; the black cards attract a£140 annual fee £1 spend = 1 mile
They send a visa n Amex card side by side both are on the same account but BUT big but it's only the Amex card that gets an upgrade after £5 k spends and £7 k spends gets your companion upgrade !
We have virgin miles credited from our Tesco spends too instead of vouchers off our shopping
 I also pay my employees tax n n.i  my vat and my personal tax using the Visa card ,HMRC don't accept Amex !!there is a small fee but it's worth it
Weve had 3. Trips to Vegas me n gf for £450 for both of us with  virgin this year and are currently trying to rack up a few more to book Premium economy both ways for £700 for both of us next June just need a few more miles !
It's a cracking offer

[Rotty]

isn't it 2 miles per £ on black Amex spend?

and as above there is nor problem getting the white and black cards

using various methods I have managed about 270k miles in 18 months
