100% is almost as good as you're going to get. The last time they had a 125% was in November last year which was a mystery bonus of 100% or more, however not many received a bonus over 100%.

How would you compare travel with the little one at 6 months vs 12 or 18 months? We have flown long haul when the bub was 3 and 6 months and it was all fairly chill. Now we have a couple trips planned when she will be 14 and 19 months which I assume will be bit more challenging as she is...

I just booked a hotel in Osaka through luxury escapes, it has free cancellation but the entire amount was prepaid already, does the credit still post a few days after the transaction or only after the stay?

Points ended up posting 24 hours after the purchase, just in time to book 2x SQ J PER - NGO. I assume the reason why the points were not instant is that I used my card to top up the other half’s Aeroplan account.

Purchased points but it's been over 2 hours and they still haven't posted. Fingers crossed that it doesn't take too long.

Qatar PC has been my main focus lately, most of the points are coming from my Citi at the moment. 1. Qatar Privilege Club - from travel, Citi Prestige, BA Avios sub 2. Velocity - Flybuys, insurance, everyday spend 3. Aeroplan - buy miles

Yeah this happened to me, account was blocked out of nowhere. It took me at least 3 months for them to reply to me, all I got told is that the account was flagged and I need to verify my identity. Very annoying and imo a bit ridiculous, you can’t even make a new account as they will block any...

I’ve had good results booking SQ J with aeroplan one year out or so, I like that their taxes are quite low compared to let’s say Velocity. Do you use any tools for LifeMiles availability? Every time I tried using their calendar I could not find anything.

It definitely looks like they have changed the way you redeem points, the link to the old Citi Rewards page goes nowhere. The Citi website now says to redeem directly from the Citi Online portal. I'd be very interested to see whether point transfers actually take 28 days now....

Has anyone re-applied for this card within 12 months of cancelling and received bonus points? I'm considering doing that in a few months as there's nothing in the T&C's.

Good change but one issue is the $100 minimum spend, Uber Premier is way under $100 for me to the airport. I guess surge pricing will take care of that issue eventually.

There are lockers in AM South, just to the right as you enter. Not sure about AM North as I haven’t tried leaving any bags there yet.

There needs to be award availability for that to happen, more likely in less busy periods. They do release last minute award seats if they still have space but you need to be quick, last time they released a seat 12 hours prior but it was snapped up within 30s. One other option is to ask for...

It will be insanely challenging to find 4 seats on a single flight with QR, I would advise getting 2 seats on separate days, or just paying for the other tickets. The 2x Avios reward seats won't show up until you book the 2 at saver rate and that is not guaranteed to happen either.

Was going to sign up to take an advantage of this offer again, turns out The Economist have ended their partnership with BA in January 2024. https://myaccount.economist.com/s/article/Can-I-earn-Avios-points-with-a-subscription-to-The-Economist

I’ve gotten about 6 seats between Europe and Australia in the last year, there’s definitely less availability than before but it is not even remotely as bad as QF.

Hmm yeah, similar exclusion for NAB, I wonder why they specifically exclude only the Platinum cards?

Pretty rough exclusion under the T&C’s for ANZ.

I've cancelled an award a couple of months ago and it took 7 days for the fees to be refunded.

Yup, bonus posted here.
