    Fairer & Simpler Enhanced QFF Optus Plans effective 12 Apr

    I've considered porting to Optus to take up this plan, but I make a lot of intl calls, and the non-inclusion of them (despite having included roaming) is very odd and a non-starter for me.

    Alipay/WeChat Pay in China

    I setup WeChat Pay for a family member back in Dec. The WeChat Pay feature required me to go to a hidden menu, submit passport for verification before the pay features were even visible. I think Alipay doesn't require ID to start with, but you will need to verify your account at some point, a...

    Jetstar Catch the Stars ($20 Voucher)

    Due to how it's coded, it's much easier on the phone. Computer (even with 301px display width) seems impossible for me, but I got it first try on the phone.

    Article: Qantas Slashes Domestic Business Class Fares

    Saw this post having bought a J fare earlier during DSC for a trip I'd normally make with JQ thinking I must have bought it under the inflated price. Happy to see that I did buy it at the reduced price, and for DSC!

    Article: How to Contact Accor Customer Care

    Accor Plus members can also make use of the dedicated contact form and support number. It took a few followups in some instances (like when they took my payment for Accor Plus but took days to actually renew my membership), but came in handy for when points didn't credit (the ordinary form went...

    QF Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    10/12 QF40 CGK-MEL Y Saver to J - Upgraded at gate. Received a text saying they're "unable to confirm" my upgrade request T-11.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF40 CGK-MEL 10/12 Upgraded at the gate! Though as I wasn't expecting one, I kinda loaded up on fried chicken, sambal matah and Indomie at the lounge, so only had the crumbed chicken main. The colors look pretty unappetizing, but it's quite tasty, especially the potato puree. Certainly never...

    Hilton Diamond through Velocity Platinum status

    I see. Yeah my VA status would lapse end of this year. So are my choices either: use it on my existing HH account to extend until end 2024 (Apr 2025), or; make a new HH account, use my VA benefit on that one to get Gold until end 2025 (Apr 2026), then subsequently merge both HH accounts?

    Hilton Diamond through Velocity Platinum status

    Read this thread to double-check with things, does this mean if your HH is already (and currently) Gold, you can't use the VA status match as an extension of Gold? Been using ALL and GHA a lot more this year, and was planning to use the status match as an opportunity to extend my Gold. If you...

    No business lounge vouchers or status extension to go with that apology? :\
