    Plus, you'll pay for the use of their 'phone customer service' ... which is 5,000 points. I got charged 9,000 points for a 'change of name', plus 5,000 points for doing it over the phone. ( it could have been the other way round ? )

    Australian Passport question

    Question here too ... Departing Sydney in June 24 for Paris. Stay only 10 days. Australian Passport expires in November 24 ( after 10 years ). Will I need a new one BEFORE departure ?

    Good News! Pyjamas on (almost) all Qantas international flights in J!

    PJs ... LOL !! When travelling in economy from Brisbane to Sydney, on 1st. January this year ... I was 'freezing' cold. Uncontrollably shivering. I knew something was 'wrong'. Runny nose. Sore throat. Lethargy and no interest in eating anything ... or DRINKING alcohol ( really strange !! )...

    I know the issue has been 'fixed' to some degree ... But I had a similar low level issue, with changing the NAME on a J ticket from Sydney to Brisbane. I had much the same 'run-around' with Call Centres. My delay in getting the job done, was because I didn't have anymore QFF Points sitting in...

    Offer to retain IHG diamond ambassador for 2024

    You would think, it's not 'that hard' to do .... As I said, I know my account had been updated, with the addition of newly awarded points. They 'could' have down-graded me at the same time ...

    Offer to retain IHG diamond ambassador for 2024

    Arrhhh !!! Success !!! They caved in, when I pushed the concept of the QCAT to them. I mentioned, the civil standard of 'balance of probabilities', and that they published the upgrade on my logged in page etc. etc. Whilst sitting in the Club Lounge, the Duty Manager rolled up, with a new set...

    Offer to retain IHG diamond ambassador for 2024

    I have stayed there several times, and always booked 'club' as an AMB. I too had basically, every stay upgraded to Q'lander. But on this occasion, when they 'changed' my booking back to 'basic' .... they even lost the name of my daughter, whom I listed as a secondary booking name ( for her...
