  Just completed it, thanks for the reminder.

  Would have been good to have non-flight options included with the “cabin” question for short-haul travel.
  In the last year we have made six trips to France, 4 by car and 2 by train. Three trips to Belgium, again, all by train.
  Last summer we travelled to Ljubljana by train, via various scenic routes.
  The only flights in that time have been to Madeira return, where flying is still the only reasonable option, and a one-way flight to Frankfurt – we returned by train.
  We have a reasonable stock of avios, but are not doing anything significant to increase it. Still, it would always be nice to win

    Do you think train ticket merchants should advertise here on HfP?

    • RussellH says:

      7 Apr7 April 12:37

      I often wonder why anyone would advertise here.
      For myself, I have long since trained myself to ignore advertising.
      I can hardly ever recall any adverts that I have seen after a couple of minutes

        I like informative advertising. Where’s the best place to buy european train travel tickets?

        • RussellH says:

          There is no one best place. Depends on where you are travelling.
          A good start is seat61.com by Mark Smith

        You’re deluding yourself if you believe that.

        Take Capital On Tap. You’ve probably never seen a single piece of COT advertising outside HfP. Everything you know about that business comes from reading our stuff. If someone asked you tomorrow about an SME card for earning Avios you’d recommend it. One reader emailed me this morning and mentioned in passing that his business spends £1m per year on the COT card they got via HfP. Despite the fact that we have made CoT a household name amongst the 100,000 or so people I’d say are our hard core readers, their annual spend with us is relative peanuts – it’s an exceptional return for them.

          As this is one of the very few sites I use where my ad-blocker may be turned off, I probably do see (for about 0.25s) CoT here sometimes – just at the moment, I do not see it. But as it is totally irrelevant to me, and I suspect to pretty much anyone else I know these days, I certainly do not remember anything about it.
          In any case, I would not recommend any financial product to anyone – the most I might do is suggest that they might look into something.

          As to the reader you mention above, he presumably would have read the articles on CoT, which I would hope would have carried much more weight with him than the adverts. CoT may well feel morally obliged to advertise as a quid-pro-quo for the coverage, but that is another matter.

  Probably the first survey I’ve done that took less time to do than the time that was advertised.

  Also last day for nectar to avios 20% bonus

  • Vit says:

    Thanks. Just emptied my nectar. Finger crossed the 20% will post!

  That survey made me feel poor. I had to select that I don’t travel for work (not important enough) and that I only book one economy flight a year. And that’s a stretch!

  Thanks for the reminder, completed mine earlier 🙂

  Do you get confirmation of survey compmetion or draw entry? I went through it on day of launch but after entering email it went back to start of survey so I yhink something went wrong.

  • Rob says:

    7 Apr7 April 18:09

    No email sent. There is a thank you message on the last page.

    • BJ says:

      7 Apr7 April 18:51

      Thanks, it might have done that before jumping back to start so I’ll just leave it to chance it was fine, not much difference between a small chance and no chance anyway 🙂
