I thought I might try for r4 for prob the last time when I fly from Adel to Mel on Tues. But stupid me- I was previously thinking I was leaving on Wed instead of Tues - so now I missed out today as I was a day late already! Never done that before - and what a time to do it. Bugga! Im now back in...

thats similar to me also! Didnt think about doubles not being awarded till Oct?

I tried several quotes, both domestic and os, but they all only offered 5,000. Maybe Imtoo old? Not worth it for me , but out of curiosity, could you actually buy a policy for the points without actually travelling anywhere?

I agree with Accor customer service being hard to deal with and dont understand etc. As I posted before, I managed to get gold for the first time from the previous year, mainly because of double status promotion re covid. So I also regisistered for the Qantas upgrade promotion halfway through...

I have just been spending ages trying to link pass. But it just keeps sending me back to same page over and over again. I click "link pass" then it looks like its happening and says "retrieving my details" but then Im on same page again?! - just going round in circles. Even tried other future...

Well good on you Qantas, one of the flights I booked with your generous $50 voucher was cancelled just over a day before. Im on a later flight now but I lost the row 4 seat I had and now squished in elsewhere. I think every Q flight Ive booked in last couple years or so has been cancelled or...

bugga , that totally sux! thanks for replies though

Hi, I am booked on Malaysia from Adel to London June/July. Unfortunately Qantas was way too much more expensive and I got a cheaper flight up there - not so cheap return. But then I also paid the extra for a flexible flight. Have since paid more for better seats also - one being in the Premium...

I tried to ring today on number posted above. But as Im not a plus member I got transferred. Was hoping to Aus but sounded like overseas call centre. I was just told I did not earn enough points etc to remain gold,. Tried to explain about promotion but just told same. I only have confirmation...

Hi, I managed to obtain Gold status courtesy of the double status offer during covid, although I nearly got next level too. But I also registered for the Qantas upgrade offer, and got email saying I had registered - but nothing else. As I was already gold nothing really changed. I was hoping...

I managed to earn Gold last year, only because of the double status credits offer from last year. Must admit though I havent noticed much difference, ie no real upgrade of rooms and some places dont offer drinks/have a bar or it was closed re covid etc. I did get a bottle of wine in one hotel...

Just called mid morning today - I used first number at top of this thread - not sure if it made a difference or not - but I was answered within a minuite or 2 - so I was very surprised. Not sure where I was connected to - dont think it was Aus - she did have a bit of an accent but very easy to...

I had a credit from almost 2 years back. Eventually rang as it would not let me use it online. Told I wasnt eligible for a Pass ( dont know why - they probably said something about Ts and Cs) but I apparently could get a refund. Thought that was actually easier for me than try and use credit -...

Similar. Mine from 2019 - just when it all hit. Said that you could redeem online for re-booking -but then notice on my page said it could only be booked by calling them! Held of using it for a while - and booked flights by other means, but eventually had to call them. In the end it seemed so...

Have done. Thanks for tips!
