Usually the only response I give them is to hide them. This one just caught my eye due to the price.

Seatfrog is the only game in town for these kind of upgrades.
The other possibility is paying for an upgrade onboard (what used to be called Weekend First).
Ah that’s a shame! Thanks anyway! Would prefer to travel first class on the Azuma. My usual London-Leeds trip is the absolute limit I can stomach on those nasty seats. The first class ones are a massive upgrade over those ironing boards.
I see the 10% back in Uber Credits for booking train, coach and Eurostar tickets through the Travel part of their app has been extended to 30/6/2023. Useful for me as like mangyiscute posted, my Airtime Rewards has been reduced to requiring a £70+ spend on LNER to qualify for the 5% reward.

Same with NatWest rewards, needs a large minimum spend rather than no minimum spend the last time.
Assuming you'll travel enough in the next year, just buy LNER vouchers.

I seem to be buying the rail tickets that the Uber Travel section of the Uber App will sell me and getting the 10 cashback on those and then buying the ones that Uber finds it too hard to work out to sell such as those to London Overground destinations the normal way from ticket machines or train companies own websites. As the 10 per cent cash back can be used to buy further rail ticket through Uber Travel or as cashback off Uber Rides on the whole it still seems worth having.
Having said that the Uber Travel part of their App does seem to have a lot of bugs that currently make it impossible to buy some kinds of rail ticket by using it.

My Senior Railcard expired in June ‘21 and because of Covid didn’t automatically renew it. Spin forward to last month, and I logged in to the card website, selecting renew an expired card - no luck I wasn’t found, even my old card number was deemed ‘invalid’. Phoning the call centre I was told after a period they delete cardholder details due to GDPR. They then said I would have to provide all the verification documents - the fact I still had my old card caused much consternatio, as I was clearly even older but they wanted current DL/Passport which are now expired.
after waiting for the 10 days email turnaround I found a code for 3% discount but as my renewal would be handled manuall, the £3.50 off a 3-year card was an impossibility. I gave up.
The lesson I learned was to refuse the digital card, as if I had one I doubt if I could have renewed - so I opted for a card again. Strange though you cannot use both - one as a back-up. Anyone know why?

As there is no photo on the physical card it could be shared with others.
You can of course purchase a digital and a physical Railcard if you want to have both, each one will be charged for.

Does anyone know with LNER vouchers, do you have to spend the voucher in one-go. Or can you pay for some tickets with part of it. I then say a week later use the remainder of the voucher?

Anyone have more information about the 'Transport for Wales Ticket Sale' I received a push notification about today?
Seems to be a way of offering 50% off on longer distance trips, but not entirely convinced this is the right time given the ongoing 175 situation and general overcrowding on TfW before the new stock is introduced!
Here we go...

This seems to link to a offer that can only be used one time?Ten Pounds off a ten pound spend at trainline
It was - but appears there was a bug where it was allowing multiple uses.

Does this work on the LNER app? The Ts&C's seem to talk about the website but I would be surprised if they want us to use the website over the app.

Is it back to no minimum spend?

I think it is, yes
No minimum spend mentioned on mine and valid every transaction, not just once off.
Do you know how Perks works with vouchers? If I was to buy an LNER voucher, would I still earn Perks £?
