Hi all, would like some clarification, hope the community can help. I have tried asking spg (email, phone) but nobody can answer me. Ok, I registered for the World Mastercard SPG Gold promo a year plus ago. Got upgrade to gold after one night stay. Sadly, my gold status is now expired, wasn't...

Hi all, I finally received the card after quite a long wait. Used one of the link in this post, so whoever's link it was, hope you get the points. I got approved a week after applying. Then received a letter saying there is a delay and cards will only be sent out on the 20 August. Received the...

Hi, I'm hoping for help / advice from AFFers. Wanted to buy NTL to KUL on EK but the only way seems to be NTL-xBNE-xSIN-KUL, which is really silly. There is a MEL-KUL daily flight at 0335H but it won't allow me to buy a NTL-MEL ticket. I suspect its because there are only JQ flights and no...

I usually checked in online but today did so at counter as I have luggage. Noticed my boarding pass has no V05A. Asked the staff about it and was told it's likely because I'm on saver fare. I insisted I have the plus bundle as I can choose seats. The supervisor came around and enter something in...

I've got this as well, in fact about to head to TSV for a flight to SYD, bought $145+ $0 plus bundle. Can choose seat etc as usual. OT but I find it strange bne/tsv fares are always more expensive then syd/tsv fares. Strange considering distance is further.

I applied for this card on Thursday, got approved the next day. Can see it in my citibank online. Called up today to ask for cheque to self but was told its all in the system and once I activate the card, the balance transfer will go directly to the nominated account and I couldn't get the...

This a great offer. Had used it 3 times so far (I have 3 amex card) since this offer came out - a hotel in Whitsundays (end of this month), a skydiving and a bungy jump in Queenstown (March). You get the $50 credit back usually within 3 days. I have harvested a total of $180 by linking all 3...

Oh 50% earnings, didn't realised that. Thanks for pointing it out. Was just searching distance between KUL-PEN and KUL-BKI, 200 miles and 1000 miles respectively. That means I have to fly KUL-PEN return 62.5x in a year or KUL-BKI return 12.5x ......seems impossible to achieve. Though what is...

Would you say its better then to concentrate on Enrich status, bearing in mind the lowest MH fare O class which does not give miles? If somehow managed to get silver (or dare I dream, Gold) that would be OneWorld status with some benefit when I am back in Australia. Having said that, I thought...

I did not ask the CSC the value of the fare but looking at Qantas site, the tickets cost $319 x2. I presumed that would be the value? The ticket was booked in O class, maybe worth less without the SC and points earning. I can see what you mean about the card being only of value to folks...

Thank you everybody for the wishes. Making me excited and thinking of how to have a better plan of "attack" for the coming year. Stumbled on AFF only in Feb 14. SC earn was mainly from Jetstar bundle (BNE-NTL twice a month). In fact, for the first half of the year, never added any bundle and SC...

You are right JohnM. I finally booked a Perth-Sydney return today. Painless process. Thumbs up to the AMEX domestic flight redemption team. Got the flights confirmation email within 5mins after the call. A few flight times wasn't available but I was flexible, or rather I should say my aunt was...

For the first time in my life, today finally achieve status in any airline - Silver ! Nothing much I know for most AFF members here with Gold and Platinum and LTG, but I do look forward to the new priority boarding and maybe, just maybe a chance of upgrade one day. I still have probably 80 SC...

Thanks JohnM. That's very helpful. Do you know when we do changes as per condition "Changes Piror to day of departure, C. Fare may be used as a credit....", can the credit be use for ticket other than the routes in amex site (ie BNE-SYD, BNE-MEL, PER-SYD etc?). In other word, can I book PER-SYD...

I think this might have been asked before as i vaguely remember reading it some where when researching to apply this card. My annual fee date is approaching and I have yet to redeem the annual free Qantas flight. What should I do as I've no plans to travel anywhere soon. A) Can I just book a...
