Not exactly a retention offer, but couldn't find anywhere more suitable to post this. So the back story is, someone else I knew received an upgrade offer in the mail from the American Express Essentials card to the Explorer card around 2020. I've been looking into getting the card but I have the...

Does anyone know if I book 2 rooms in the same booking, will this hurt or help any chance of an upgrade for at least one of the rooms? As a Diamond.

I suspect very restricted initially while these flights are a "novelty" and "high demand" once demand rolls off a bit - if it does, then we might start to see the occasional seat pop up. Knowing QF thought I imagine these to be vary sparse and mostly only show up during points planes or the...

Yeah so this is my question is "why". Why the legislation? Was there an incident, overzealous security policy, was it to protect our duty free shops, as to make it difficult to purchase DF on the way to Aus so we "have" to buy it on arrival here? It's rather inconvenient for many involved, what...

I wanted to start a discussion on the reason for gate delivery of duty free items for flights to Australia. For the longest time most my international travel has been direct to, from Australia. So I never really purchased duty free on other flights or thought about it too much. A couple of...

Depends, I have a specific stay in mind and know ill save money by using the points. I wouldn’t buy them speculatively just to boost your balance.

100% also looks like the 80k cap has been removed? I can buy up to 240k points now

I booked SYD <> HND Flex Y 240 SC. Considered doing via MEL for the extra SC but I knew i'd be hating life if I did that to myself. It wasn't very good value $2850 (used $450 amex credit to take it to $2500) but its a trip I plan on taking anyway, and hopefully I can get the upgrade to J to make...

Webjet flights provide SC right? I have an Amex offer I'm considering using during DSC.

I think the website is getting smashed tonight - probably with the DSC offer. Its been very slow and more buggy than usual.

I went through BNE twice in Jan and both times was asked to produce boarding pass to enter J lounge - as a gold flying J. I don't believe it was scanned, just looked at.

I have a 2 pax booking coming up in april, I'm going to split it and see if this works too

While not the exact issue of the thread, this seat will likely contribute to a future person being bumped. I just got off QF82 SIN > SYD yesterday seated in J, and found my seat was in a pretty bad way. It wasn't "broken" but the support had started to go, when I would lean my weight into it it...

Yeah I have been a to a few of these and the food and drink has always been a paid offering. The only "on us" part is the entry to the lounge. Depending on the event sometimes its good just for a place to use the toilet and order without a long line, other times the entertainment lounge has felt...

Holding a balance doesn't affect your rating. Missing minimum payments by due dates is what will affect your rating. As long as holding a balance doesn't give you a taste and you continue the habit after earning the points, it looks like a decent deal. Looks like QF money is dropping a few...

A friend who was coming to meet me had this occur today. They were on the a330 QF81, J, bronze, reward seat. Was moved to QF1 first class. They said they had conflicting stories from the call centre vs airport and took a while to get answers but the outcome of first on a380 is a pretty good deal.

Same! Im going next week and thought wow did they get this from my plane ticket purchase. Until I opened the offer and it was already maxed within 1 hour of receiving the email :(

Same. I’m platinum, but only obtained platinum last year. Seems I only got the gold amount of 250, should I have got 500 instead?

Yeah I haven't been able to get on all morning but now its even worse.

Only for “new” customers. If you click through the returning customers is much lower. Yes 12.5% for new customer is very high.
