Hmmmm I do live in Perth... Not sure if I'll be home for those dates but if I do I'll let someone (likely penegal) know and I'll see what I can still tag along to. I'm not fussed about Rotto or anything like that but I wouldn't mind attending a dinner if I'm in town

Glad to see you're making use of the passes ;-) As for me... 05 Aug QF574 PER 0445 Guest 1 05 Aug BA16 SYD Int F 1200 Guest 1 (Any OW flight) 10 Aug MH432 KUL Guest 1 11 Aug TG601 HKG TG F Guest 1 11 Aug TG475 BKK TG F Guest 1 12 Aug QF581 SYD QF J Guest 1

I took several DL flights in February/March and received credit with no issue between 2-5 days after the date of the flight. I have however seen retro claims take some time in the past for other airlines (HA was the one I had a drama with). I ended up called the Velocity line several times...

Re: Upgrade Me Auction worked for me, Aud$350 was debited, and its Business Class her Booked a PER-MEL 'Happy hour' fare for $139 and put in the lowest bid of $350 for an upgrade to J. Upgrade confirmed at T-40, can't complain about that!

I flew MEL-SYD-LAX-EWR (overnight stopover) DEN-HNL and had lounge access the whole way. Being 1K probably helped but I was under the impression that at least same day intl access should be given unless UA treat their golds less than they do a *G member of a different program

Not if you have a same day International flight on your itinerary, you can see that from United's Premier Benefits page: United Airlines - Frequent Flyer Benefits | MileagePlus Premier Benefits Also referring to your above posts it's not very common that Qantas will status match at all and...

Thanks mate! Appreciate you looking out for my frequent flyer miles too ;)

Oh yeah sure I get that mate better than most; between UA/AA/QF/VA I've redeemed nearly a million points on premium awards in the last 12 months so I'm well aware of the best use of points! However for this particular trip my mate had a specific budget; we're heading to Cancun, Vegas with a...

Oh yeah sure I get that but I was only booking Y seats!! I probably should've mentioned that

Firstly I completely understand that in some cases airlines block or restrict access to award inventory to their partners; I was just curious as to whether there was any specific reason that this is the case when booking VA awards on an SQ flight. For the particular flights I wanted I checked...

Hotels for two people + 100% Platinum bonus ;-)

I'm in the same boat, 95% of my stays are at a Hilton or IHG hotel but when I saw the Agoda partnership it suddenly reminded me that for an upcoming trip I'm not saying with either...so that's a cool extra 30k VA points in my pocket :-)

Try calling back and speaking to a supervisor, the bloke I was dealing with was Eugene and he was really good. I definitely had to argue for it though; the reasoning I used was that if I price up a VA domestic award online it's clearly done by distance as opposed to segments. See how you go...

Well I think it was just simpler that I had 100k that they could charge me in my account; originally he was saying that he would need to talk to corporate to get miles deposited into my account so they could just deduct the larger cost. It was all a bit weird but I got what I needed in the end...

I ended up booking HKG-SIN-PER which I was initially quoted at 50k but ended up being quoted the correct price of 32.5k, one-way
