    5,000 bonus points each on up to 3 international Qantas Hotels bookings (book by 5/8/24)

    Quick question for those whose bonus points have posted: is the activity date of the bonus points the check-in/out date or the date the bonus points posted? (I'm relying on the bonus points to get Points Club Plus but the points won't post until after the end of my membership year, so will need...

    Any downside with redeeming two KrisFlyer one-way tickets?

    The only advantage of booking a return saver over two one-way saver flights is that you can book a stopover on one of the legs without additional points if you want. If you don't want a stopover in SIN, go for it!

    Changing paid seat selection on SQ -- does it incur another fee?

    IME, yes, you get whacked again. I had to get customer service to put me back in my original seat when I moved it to sit next to my dad (who'd selected a seat in a different row) and get my dad to move back to my row. Stupid system really. (Note also seats with included seat selection don't...

    Card Promotions 100k Velocity points offer with ANZ Platinum card (apply by 15/11/24)

    When your minimum eligible spend posts, about a day or two later you'll get an email inviting you to redeem 70K Velocity points (assuming you've met the minimum spend). It's not like many other cards' processes where the points post through their usual systems, and it isn't tied to the issue...

    OK then... I presume we'll have to hunt around for another carrier affiliated with CI to do MMB. List of partners is here for anyone wanting to play around: 20 Airline Partners

    Card Promotions 100k Velocity points offer with ANZ Platinum card (apply by 15/11/24)

    That’s several churns worth of points and two annual fees, so no, it’ll be closed ASAP. EDIT account closure request in before the annual fee. :)

    Card Promotions 100k Velocity points offer with ANZ Platinum card (apply by 15/11/24)

    Well, that was quick! Email to redeem the bonus arrived five minutes ago, points were claimed three minutes ago and have swept into my account. Hopefully, the other points will sweep out today as scheduled, and I'll be able to pay off the card and close it in the next day or two before the...

    QFF Mixed class multi-city on JL

    Did you try breaking the flight into separate sectors on the multi-city tool (i.e. SIN-HND/HND-ITM) or just try booking SIN-ITM (or vice-versa)?

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    4300 points for $100 spend over one or more shops, stacking with 10x points for a $60 spend and 5x points for a $50 spend. Adding 2x points and 10% off through Everyday Extra, and my $96 order this morning should yield 6436 points. :)

    Fiji airlines changing planes

    FJ swapped my NAN-SFO flight out from an A350 to an A330 on the day, so you probably won't know until the day of departure what metal you'll be flying on. It's a big risk flying to SFO on FJ. (I was a bit annoyed as I'd managed to snag the seat behind the exit row with no seat in front, but...

    Card Promotions 100k Velocity points offer with ANZ Platinum card (apply by 15/11/24)

    Yeah - aiming to redeem through Velocity or Krisflyer in early November, and hence the desire to meet the minimum spend quickly... EDIT - Minimum spend now met so let's see how long the points take to post.

    Card Promotions 100k Velocity points offer with ANZ Platinum card (apply by 15/11/24)

    Yup - done that. Mind you, getting set up was horribly old-fashioned - took over half an hour on the phone. Anyway, now hammering the card to get the points ASAP (my rates notice arrived today, so paid the first instalment through Sniip. Some internet, health insurance and other bills will sort...

    Velocity reinstates Singapore Airlines redemptions

    Yeah. It's unfortunate. Even on days where Krisflyer is showing Saver availability on North American routes and it's less than 330 days, only PE is available...

    Velocity reinstates Singapore Airlines redemptions

    I'm looking at booking a MEL-SIN-SEA/LAX/SFO or NYC-SIN-MEL J seat in 2025 soon-ish and while there's plenty of PE availability, there's been no J, nor any for other North American destinations. I therefore strongly suspect that SQ may be holding back J awards between North America and SIN from...

    Deal or No Deal?

    You too seem to be suffering from the typical AFF member's 'drinking problem', namely where to put all the wine you've purchased for the points! ;) (Dropped $1.9k on five cases a couple of weeks back myself to get 85k points for an F award on JL I'm targeting next month. Sadly no free whisky...)

    Card Promotions 100k Velocity points offer with ANZ Platinum card (apply by 15/11/24)

    I had to upload seven to get three months of income. A bit of a faff but from application to approval took 6 days, including a weekend. Now waiting on the card to arrive.
