    2024 Hilton Status Retention

    I logged into my Hilton Honors account today expecting to have lost my diamond status as I have not anywhere close to the nights or stays required but I'm still diamond? Does the system just take time to update, or have they decided to give some people an extension?

    What’s YOUR minimum transit time?

    On separate tickets... I just wouldn't do it. But if I had to, I would suggest at least four hours. But in saying that it depends on where you are going, e.g. are there other flights they could put you on if the plane your first leg is on is delayed or out of action for any reason, if the...

    ABC 4 Corners on Qantas - Monday 5 September

    I agree. It was not like Qantas tried to find it but the bag was irretrievably lost. When Qantas decided they wanted to find it - after attracting negative media attention - they found it quickly. What I'm finding in most cases with Qantas on any issue at the moment is that their staff or...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    I was also able to get QF to rebook be onto another flight where there was no reward seat availability. It was not easy though, it required a bit of persistence, highlighting that the coughpy flight times allocated to me was a result of Qantas cancelling my original flight, and being firm about...

    Travelling from CBR to SIN today? I need your help (13 August)

    In the end I posted it via courier, and rebooked the flight for later this week to enable enough time it to arrive. It's cost us a bit of money, but sometimes you just have to take it on the chin. I totally understand if people don't want to take responsibility for other people's documents (as...

    Velocity Amex Platinum referral offer is now 60,000 bonus points

    Just letting you know that the Velocity Amex referral links are now all for 60,000 bonus points (all the old ones claiming to be 100k will now redirect you to the 60k offer). That's not as nice as 100,000 anymore which seems to be ending, but still better than the 50k being offered through the...

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Rooms are small, tired... just some of the many reasons to look elsewhere in Sydney.

    Hilton Honors Macquarie Platinum Card Discontinued

    You are right. I checked my email it I did receive an email on the same day saying "Your Hilton Honors account has been updated" - I had booked a reward night stay two days before and I had assumed it was just a delayed notification that points had been deducted. Logging into the system to...
