    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Hi All, I was looking at this thread so logged into my account on Qatar website which was still showing as burgundy though the ticket said ''Resolved" like PSS's. Just a few minutes ago I received this email: Welcome to Platinum membership tier. It is our pleasure to welcome you to the much...

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    That's some really unattractive changes that will probably put some people off. It's a huge hit to how valuable their gateway membership rewards/Ascent/Ascent premium program is

    Renter No Longer Responsibile for Rental Car - When ??

    It's very arguable at what point in time you are liable for any damages and at what point in time you're free from any responsibility. Every company is different. The best thing we can do to protect ourselves is to take a video at the start of the car rental of the odometer, interior and...

    AMEX Platinum Charge Benefits - Q&A

    I got my Platinum Reserve companion card application sent 14 days ago via email, approved after 1 business day. I haven't heard about the Platinum Reserve NOT being eligible to new card holders anymore. Would be sad though if that's the case.

    Using Explorer travel credit when Explorer card is linked to Ascent Premium

    I tried 5 phone calls for that before I applied for the Reserve credit card, and no barge at all with the 5 different staff I spoke to. I originally didn't want the platinum reserve credit card at all as it's another credit enquiry. It's a complete different card system and can't act as a...

    Using Explorer travel credit when Explorer card is linked to Ascent Premium

    Correct! 2 Ascent Premium points per dollar on Explorer, and 3-2-1 Ascent Preium points on the other two platinum cards. Really good deal to be able to earn 2 Ascent Premium points per dollar with the Explorer card.

    Using Explorer travel credit when Explorer card is linked to Ascent Premium

    I've got the Platinum Reserve and Explorer linked to the Platinum Charge card, so all 3 cards are earning Ascent Premium points. They won't waive the annual fee for Explorer card though, you will only get the annual fee waiver for the Platinum Reserve credit card. Hope this answers your question

    Using Explorer travel credit when Explorer card is linked to Ascent Premium

    Hello, Give them a call and request for them to do it for you. Ask to link your Explorer card to the Ascent Premium program - if they are willing to do it then they will transfer all your points from MR to Ascent Premium at the rate of 1:1, and your Explorer card will become $1 = 2 Ascent...

    Using Explorer travel credit when Explorer card is linked to Ascent Premium

    Ok, so I followed up with multiple phone calls trying to get different staff to help. And as expected, each staff has their different version of why this is happening and offer different ways to help. Today at around 11am, a staff (cant remember name..) investigated for me and has put the $400...

    Using Explorer travel credit when Explorer card is linked to Ascent Premium

    Hello all, I have tried to search for this question but it doesn't seem like this question has previously been raised up, so maybe if someone can point me to the right direction that would be great. I have an Explorer card and a Platinum Charge card. The Explorer card is linked to the Ascent...

    WARNING - Don’t use RewardPay/Amex to make a personal SMSF contribution.

    You're just playing with words here. It's pretty clear that it's a breach of T&C to pay YOURSELF SMSF via your own Amex card... Yes, you can be registered as an employee but after all, if it's paying YOUR own super.... I don't really see your argument point being valid if you try go any higher...
