Whenever I try to use my WorldPoints card the shops never take it! I
thought they might have discontinued the scheme.

I've used LU many times (well, up until they started stalling out between
platforms for hours on end). I have no particular problem with using the tube
and its certainly an inexpensive option for public transportation to/from
Heathrow and central London.

That said, trying to manage more than carry-on luggage through the tube is
similar to trying to manage luggage on a bus - there are easier options...

Agreed, some shops do have processing problems, but faxing any
receipts to WorldPoints will seem them credited swiftly.

No, no - it is more certainly still running. I used my card last month
several times..

Hours on end ? Must be a different Underground system to mine.

It all depends on if you are paying or your firm, and how 'light' you
travel ! I never travel with more than I can comfortably carry, even
when I travel around Europe for 3 weeks plus. It's usually a rucksack,
a daypack and a plastic bag.
