From the T&C of the $200 dining credit: "Enrolled Card Members will be eligible to receive a maximum of $200 back on spend at participating local restaurants per redemption period. Spend can be in one or more transactions." The list of participating restaurants changes from time to time. Just...

10k bonus points should be credited by the next statement after the 60 day period is met (ie the 4th statement was my experience)

When then new card comes, they include a small (and quite flimsy) self addressed return envelop for you to return the old card to them for disposal. How safe this, no idea and I have my doubts! The back side of the card itself with the magnetic stripe is just a laminate that you can peel off...

Got my 10k bonus points today follow receipt of my 4th month statement.

Highly recommend Sofitel Macau. Base room currently on Accor Red Hot rate for aud116 for Monday, or Prestige Suite for 277 (non sale rate but still fair price given I previously got it for 250 but needed prebooking).

Just wait until 7 days after your Hotel A booking ends. If they credit the stay correctly then no further action needed, and consider your Hotel B credit a bonus. If Hotel A hasn't credited as expected, lodge a case with Accor, explaining the situation and use their program T&C against them...

Can vouch for Miss Mi in Movenpick. Food is tasty (pan-asian cuisine). Casual setting, not fine dining. Dined at Sofitel, bit meh, nothing particularly memorable to write about.

The system won't let you double up like that (it knows you can only be at one place at a time). By all means give it a try and report back :)

basically what you want to do is get 30 nights in 2023, then come renewal time in 2024, you'll stay gold until renewal point in 2025.

December checkouts will reach the Gold threshold (I've done this, and on my way to plat)

Ah, my bad. +7 on Jan means still silver only. Thanks for picking that up

you'll drop to silver since the 20 nights won't be awarded until after the renewal date

Short answer you stay silver come renewal time in September 2024. Long answer: September 2023 you are silver with total nights in calendar year 2023 = 20+3 = 23. In Jan and Feb 2024 you do +7 nights, that will bump you to Gold at that point and you stay there until renewal point in September...

Yes, fixed 2 year promo from its introduction on 4 Jan 2022. "The redemption periods are between 04 January 2022 - 30 June 2022, 1 July 2022 - 31 December 2022, 1 January 2023 - 30 June 2023 and between 1 July 2023 - 31 December 2023." The Amazon Prime subscription coverage is also a fixed term...
