Starting off as Instagram only, we've bought our monthly round up to the website too, just to make sure you haven't somehow missed our top stories at Points Well Made.
"If you hold a UK-issued American Express Card enrolled in the Membership Rewards programme, you can turn your everyday spending into airline points. This guide will walk you through how to transfer your Membership Rewards points to airline frequent flyer schemes, and answer any questions you might have along the way. We've also covered how many airline points you'll get per Membership Reward point, you'll be able to find that article here!"
"This has to be one of the most interesting flights I've ever been on. Seeing how an airline like Virgin, who have cultivated an image of fun, flamboyance, and individuality, contends with the socially conservative society of Saudi Arabia, was an interesting blend of worlds. I think that Virgin danced that fine line perfectly. I was obviously expecting a lack of alcohol service, but to include the date and Arabic coffee from a dallah; that was a great touch to the service, and makes me wonder whether they do this when departing London for Riyadh? What made this flight though was the crew. Anna, Fareizah, and the rest of cabin crew were professional, but showed their personalities, engaged with all passengers, and were incredibly attentive. On leaving the aircraft, I heard a gentleman in premium remark how he had just had the best flight in his 40 years of flying, and that was all down to the crew. That was no coincidence."

From the secret shuttle bus, to Rooftop Views and Complimentary Treats, Helena had a great day!
"Was My Day Enhanced?
Honestly, yes!
American Express absolutely knocked it out of the park (or court in this case) with their activations. I loved the Amex Experience and all that it offered card members, as well as the Pavilion. However it struck a wonderful balance by also offering perks to non card members whilst teasing all there is to offer with getting an American Express Card."
"Whether you’re a seasoned F1 fan or attending your first Grand Prix, American Express are helping fans unlock more moments, more comfort, and more access around the track."
With Fast Lanes, free race radios, fan zones, and much more, American Express really did bring their A-game to Silverstone this year. Lets hope they keep on bringing the goods!
