Good grounds for a retention bonus chat July rolls around

"You can apply for a World Elite Premier Credit Card if you: are aged 18 or over maintain a minimum relationship balance of GBP 50,000 or have a sole salary of GBP 100,000 HSBC Premier customers in other countries qualify." I believe to qualify as Premier in Aus it's either have $150k invested...

Not strictly AMEX related but since the Aspire pulled Priority Pass I've been exploring other options to retain lounge access. I'm currently paying $700/year for the Australian Citi Prestige card for this perk as I have an insane amount of travel this year. The Capital One Venture X would be...

I figured if they asked for any supporting documentation that incriminated me I’d just abandon the claim

Has anybody ever tried to claim against any of the insurances on a US Amex card without having anything to prove US residency? https://global.americanexpress.com/card-benefits/detail/trip-cancel-interrupt-insurance/hilton-aspire I've just had VA canx my ADL-MEL tonight and I've had to rebook...

Case in point over the space of the last 24 hours I've had a DXB-HKG segment (ticketed in August) and PER-KUL-BKK (ticketed in Feb) drop off/be removed from my itinerary as I tried to make changes completely unrelated to these flights. I almost don't want to make any further changes for fear...

Just wanted to update you on my struggle over the weekend. - I was not able to win the argument that a surface sector does not count as 2 stopovers so I restructured my booking to now fly AMM-DXB as opposed to flying AMM-BEY and doing a surface to DXB - I was also told that there is a maximum...

Yep, one is 14 but that’s by far the longest

Ah yes sorry BEY - DXB is a surface sector

An open-jaw is not 2 stopovers?!?!? I'm fairly sure I'm right but QF told me they couldn't ticket my flight home because there was too many stopovers. Segments and miles are fine, the issue is stopovers. I'm going to HUCA but anted some validation while I recover from that 4 hour ordeal...

Just pay $1.50 for some international text credits and set a reminder to use the app too send a text once every 30 days and you keep the number

Try Talkatone

I’ve not yet received this email (yet). Does anyone know if the lounge passes are based on calendar year, membership year or 12 months from activation with DragonPass?

Flight must originate in USA (as per the T&Cs on the offer I got on my Aspire)

If you don't already have lounge access when you fly the Hilton cards with Priority Pass are a pretty good deal. Between the $250 airline credit and $250 Hilton resort credit as well as the free night it’s pretty easy to justify the $450 fee on the Aspire
