    Rerouted- how to get Miles

    I only ended up getting the miles credited to Qatar for the PER-KL leg in the end. Does this sound correct? Should I not be entitled to either the rest of the Avios through the rerouted flight, or if not then Turkish Miles for the original flight booked even though I didn't fly with them in the end?

    Rerouted- how to get Miles

    Ok thank you. I just anticipated an issue with the TK FFN listed on the boarding passes if I upload them but hopefully they understand the issue.

    Rerouted- how to get Miles

    Hi, I recently was booked Business class Perth to Dublin with mixed airlines: PER-KL (MH), KL- IST (TK) and IST-DUB (TK). I credited my miles to TK (Turkish Airlines), sacrificing the first leg for the other two. However first flight was delayed and Malaysia Airlines rerouted us to KL- LHR and...

    The Explorer Credit Card (New AMEX Card!)

    Thanks for your reply. Yeah fair point re churning. Standard offer now is currently 70k. But for following a referral link its still only 70k while I get 40k. I didn't think it was particularly good historically but will leave it up to him. I'll return the favour by using his referral in 18 months.

    The Explorer Credit Card (New AMEX Card!)

    Hi all. I have a friend keen to get me to refer him for the Explorer but I am advising him to hold off until the bonus goes up again. Is there any pattern/history to the increased bonus offers?

    Activation of amex platinum charge rental car insurance & travel insurance.

    Question (as Chubb are currently closed)- it's been a while since I wanted the car rental insurance. With Amex Explorer, if I book a car rental abroad, using my card for the rental purchase I am covered for Loss Damage Waiver. Is my partner (if I also name her on the Rental agreement as a...

    Great, thanks for the reply. Out of interest, how much was the offer and was it for both legs together?

    Paid upgrade Qatar Promo fares

    Qatar newbie, would appreciate the insight. After booking a Y promo fare with Qatar, do you still get a Pay to Upgrade offer (if available) like others do a week before the flight?

    A couple of questions from an AAdvantage newbie

    Thanks. I could see advertised price but was hoping that on completing the booking some miles might reappear in my account- not the case obviously.

    A couple of questions from an AAdvantage newbie

    Guys can I just confirm that for mixed cabin redemptions in J or F there is no refund/reduced price upon completing the booking if entire journey is not in the booked class? I thought there was but may be confusing myself with LifeMiles. eg PER- DUB F is 115k points even if PER-DOH is F and...

    Amercan Airlines bookings via Etihad Guest

    Ok I understand- it must only be American Airlines flights the process works for. Thanks for clarifying- this is what I was originally asking but the second call operator led me astray. The inconsistencies with different operators with regards to the points game never fails to astound me.

    Amercan Airlines bookings via Etihad Guest

    You have access to Aadvantage award seats- the flights can be operated by partners of American Airlines. As already stated the AAdvantage site gave me MileSAAver availability of a Qantas flight PER-SYD and Fiji Airways SYD-NAN. Etihad call centre happily checked this specific route for me...

    Amercan Airlines bookings via Etihad Guest

    Apologies for the confusion. I was hoping to book American Airlines award space using Etihad miles as explained in the linked article. The redemptions are cheaper and I can use my Amex points balance. It is possible but reward space has not been released by American to Etihad yet in relation to...

    Amercan Airlines bookings via Etihad Guest

    I called back and found someone more helpful. Award space for September 2019 would not be released yet at this stage to partners. He advised calling back weekly.
