    Survey re Premium/Standard Qantas Club Proposal

    I found the domestic QC to be painfully busy over the years when I wasn't platinum. The gates and general areas were less crowded than the lounge so I would skip the lounge and hang by the gate. From a business perspective, anything QF can do on the ground to monetise earnings is a plus from...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    With CapitalOne there was a fair bit of it going on a while back (3 months). As for the long game, it has already been a long journey. I'm heading to the US soon just thought the Amex savings/checking account might be another option.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    After being booted from CapitalOne checking account because they thought my account was fradulent (even though it was verified over the phone 3 times) and wanted me to come in to a branch, I have since taken a breather and reassessed my position. I currently have 2 personal US Amexes and a ITIN...

    JAL Domestic Baggage allowance

    Yes as in J Class. So to clarify it is 20kgs in each bag? So 2 bags of 20kgs? It is just not black and white like other airline sites.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Yep, I know I find Cape Town much better than Fiji. If you get Hobart you know that you are going to get an educated response.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Anyone having any luck getting through to Hobart? I've tried 10AM, 11AM and 2PM, my calls are getting picked up promptly by Fiji as a Platinum but I have no faith in them. I am educating them about fare classes. Trying to change a paid F flight.

    IHG Hotels that recognise status

    I stay there every few weeks. They are good, however the staff turnover has been crazy. Everytime I'm staying there, there are always new staff, especially at Breakfast. It is almost like they use agency staff. It is a popular hotel and as a result the rates seem more expensive than the other...
