Has anyone measured a horse's height lately? How many HANDS is that?

Can't transfer between KF accounts. Have read here that you would have to transfer to Velocity acc then to your wife's Velocity acc then she can transfer to her KF account. Never tried it but I think you would burn quite a few points in the process.

Absolutely BUT I've found blackouts when it is not available when trying to book and I think the value might only be up to 200 or 250 so don't join if only looking for a "free" night

What?? Australian journalists flogging a story to death! Never!!

Just transferred out a million so hope it sticks.

Accor's members site and notifications really do need some work. Renewal month is September and because I hadn't reached platinum by then I dropped back to gold October 1 which was reflected immediately in my account. I managed to earn the remaining 4 nights for platinum on November 25 and this...

I've never checked in on line for that possibility and I don't think I've ever not had an upgrade at a higher end establishment.

You are gold when those 7 nights are credited in Dec 23 for all the following year ie 24 and (renewing your membership in Sept 24) you are gold until your next renewal date Sept 25. Even if you don't re-qualify for gold in 24. So Sept renewal dates are good because you maintain your status for...

So finally retired and sold up practice with plenty of travel on the horizon. Early in 24 there will be roadies to SA and Tassie and a month in Italy Aug Sept. Was able to snag SQ savers in J into Milan and out of Rome.

Praise the Lord, WARREN E BUFFETT is alive and well. The last time I heard from him he was on his death bed wanting to give away his fortune back in 2020.

Checked today and I've dropped back to Gold as of 30/9/23. As luck would have it I had a 3 night booking for November made in late August and last week needed to extend another night and found it cheaper to cancel original and take a rate on a Superior with Club access that was prepaid but...

I am currently Platinum since the COVID bonus of 21 and then with the 12 month status extension in 22 and the 6 month free membership extension I am platinum until 30/9/23. I renewed the other week expecting to drop to Gold as I didn't re-qualify for Platinum in 22 but checking today I have been...

Wait till you have to clean it!

Yes, such a beautiful city with so much stark recent history. I was there in 2015 with daughter who has been researching and investigating war crimes since 2003, particularly against women and children. It has been a harrowing process for her team and they are still at it (she was there last...
