Two iPhones arrived today. Ordered late on 20th. Delivery guy said he'd delivered 6 before me and about the same still to go. Which is a repeat of the last few days. All in the same generic packaging. I should also point out I never got a confirmation email.

Like many, my overseas trip won't be happening for the European summer. Unable to get an answer from my RM or insurance directly, i'm reaching out to other members. I have both flights and accomodation, which at this stage are not offering full refunds, and I don't see value in flight /...

Centurion lounges are ok. Just a regular airport lounge, nothing special. So if you effectively end up paying to keep your card in order to get into one, it's up to you to justify.

Pukka. Think of it this way. You will still be allowed in when you downgrade, which it sounds like you are contemplating ;)

Did your RM volunteer this information or did you ask about it? I spoke to my RM and the subject of MP came up, nothing was mentioned about the benefit being cancelled. :evil:

On a number of occasions i have taken 2-3 guests into exec lounges without ever being questioned. Usually for the purpose of a discrete business meeting.

Had a feeling you might bite :p
