Did you end up ticketing this? And what was the final costing? I'm actually a bit confused on your routing from EUR-ASIA-SWP-ASIA - I thought that violates the intercontinental segment rules, in that you are essentially backtracking continents, namely ASIA.

Current status review date is listed for 28 Feb and I do plan to take an overnight flight on the evening of 28th that would otherwise requalify for VG - my only question is whether the VAFF boffins will say the flight doesn't qualify given that I don't disembark the flight until the 29th. I...

Yeah I've got until end of March to burn my miles transferred.

I dumped I whole bunch of points from VA to KF when they went into administration so that's probably the go. Was hoping to credit to VA so I could retain Gold. Don't fly enough domestically so unfortunately that may have to be the sacrifice.

SQ/VA and NH/VA codeshares are eligible flights to earn, but what of SQ/NH codeshares? eg. NH operated with SQ flight numbers - current setup would seem to exclude such flights, but appears to be anomaly with usual alliance setups (exclusion if non-alliance operated) - anyone flown such setups...

Anyone receive any official documentation on the transition? I got zip besides the generic email. I seem to have "lost" access to my deposit accounts, without any official notification no less. Didn't help when I needed to transfer money to withdraw cash on a recent overseas trip. Got suckered...

Glad to see it now opened. Just over 10 days ago I tried to do the airside walk from T1 to TBIT, but T3 was still blocked to TBIT (you can see the construction access still in 2nd photo), so had to backtrack to get bus from T2.

Did a paid upgrade to J SIN-SYD on BA15. Got the 1-2-1 config but seat seemed to have a broken storage console and seat seemed not quite fully lie flat. YMMV

Anyone out there have any experience in purchasing Choice Privileges Points under a thrid-party promotion, namely the US Travel Association's annual Daily Getaways? Supposedly 14 business days to post from purchase but nothing has dropped 16 business days post purchase. Choice Privileges is...

Had burned some miles earlier in the year end of Jan, prior to expiry - had to cancel because of lockdown and zip chance getting exemption to WA. Points dropped back in, and I suspect now fall under the new expiry conditions (ie. points activitiy) - so at least buys me some time again.

Only some partner airlines can be booked directly via Cathay's Asia Miles portal - IIRC it was something like half the usual OW airlines, but included QF which was the one I was interested in. However their search function is pretty poor; usually with say QF or AA you can see reward seat...

Probably best you call up to discuss with AM agents. Typically it's 12 months from issue date to rebook and fly but your MMV. I had encountered a similar scenario (booking rewards flights prior to their expiry end of Jan this year) and was actually told they run a "reinstate inactive miles...

I had come across a similar problem with expiring AM at the end of Jan earlier this year. Navigating their online booking system wasn't the easiest to search for available QF flights to burn so had sent an online redemption request and a followup call (Was looking at SYD-LDI) but no joy. I...

Another data point rejection. After a very long phone discussion seeking the qualified banker who rejected the application (not allowed to speak to them) I gathered these points: They don't really look at credit scores. They assess your capacity to service the credit card. Multiple existing...

Interestingly I had my status "upgraded" earlier this year with a current review date of 30 March 2021. Was previously Platinum, downgraded to Gold as didn't meet requalification - I suspect I may fall into the ineligible category... Question then is why bother sending me the promo email?
