    Qantas Wine latest offering

    Triple points has landed, meaning nine points per dollar for PC members. A case of Blue Pyrenees yields 28645 points for $405 at the moment for PCP members (1.41c pp). (Must resist though and get on with drinking the stuff I've already got! EDIT - no. Have broken down, and got the last case!)

    Turkish Airlines involuntary schedule changes and resulting in misconnection and refusal to provide rebooking solution

    I'd send them an email stating exactly what flights you want to connect on to the BR flights. The TK passenger rights booklet also aids matters. Perhaps the TK Helpdesk on X/Twitter may work? https://cdn.turkishairlines.com/m/2703ac6af255a5aa/original/FR-67-0329-Yolcu-haklar-Brosuru-ENG-ee-copy.PDF

    Turkish Airlines involuntary schedule changes and resulting in misconnection and refusal to provide rebooking solution

    Definitely potential EU261 issues. First things first: was the award ticket booked through TK or another airline? If another airline, you'll need to go through them. If booked through Miles & Smiles, try emailing/calling their Australian address. 1800750849 or [email protected] (FWIW, I had a...

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    There is California Champagne of course, but I doubt that'd ever feature at an Accor hotel!

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Yup - Maxime Blin in the case of the Pullman Orchard, and Drappier for the Hanoi Metropole.

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    As does the Pullman Orchard (and the Hanoi Metropole).

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Same. At least there's nothing to buy in Woolies here in Melbourne this week which removes the temptation to use this, thereby hopefully triggering a better offer next week...

    Citibank to airline points transfers

    I transferred on a Sunday a couple of weeks ago. Points showed up on Tuesday. (Did another transfer on the Tuesday which showed up the same day.)

    EY J Singapore to Europe just over $3,000 return

    Cattle (unless you book the full fare business class, although why you'd do that with Jetstar when TK offers many better carriers or their own metal is beyond me). However, IME you can select extra legroom seats free of charge (currently have row 10 seats booked for a trip in March and April)...

    EY J Singapore to Europe just over $3,000 return

    Go onto https://www.turkishairlines.com/ and do a business class search. Sort results by price and you'll see fares for $2.3k-$2.6k per leg with the first leg on Jetstar, Thai or possibly Malindo. These are the mixed class fares and will have fare classes E-J-J or E-K-K (for Jetstar) or Q-J-J or...

    EY J Singapore to Europe just over $3,000 return

    If you're prepared to endure Jetstar in economy for eight hours each way (or if you're lucky Thai), TK still has very good value mixed class fares out of MEL. They run to $4.7k-$5k, and are a lot cheaper than starting in SIN. Not as cheap as EY's fares in this thread and you'll be connecting...

    Credit Card Offers ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum: 75,000 bonus Qantas Points + $100 back

    Yes, I got my closure letter from Westpac today from their Qantas card to start the 24 months running so will grab an ANZ Qantas card.

    Bonuses for transferring Flybuys points to Velocity

    Flybuys is offering a small bonus for transfers until 31 January 2025. 250 Velocity + 250 FB for a manual transfer, so just do the minimum of 1000 FB (unless you have a specific redemption in mind) and wait for a 5% bonus. 500 Velocity + 500 FB for first ever auto transfer (I suspect few on...

    Accor Fast Track to Silver/Gold/Platinum

    You could book some Ibises, as there's a 500 point offer per night, and some (BUT NOT ALL, so check) Ibis Budgets offer ALL points/status nights, meaning it could be well under $100 per night to get some of the nights as part of a mattress run...

    Accor Fast Track to Silver/Gold/Platinum

    You could always invest in a Plus or Voyageur membership which gives you 20 status nights (sadly you've just missed a 40% off offer on Plus).

    Credit Card Offers Citi Prestige Qantas Card Offers

    Despite the 'enhancement', I'm still tempted to churn this in March next year to pay off a cruise (assuming NAB hasn't gutted it further). Can you hold both this and a (Citi Rewards, non-Qantas) FFFL Premier card at the same time and get the bonus points? My reading of "this offer is not...

    Experience using Citibank credit card insurance?

    Right you are. :) "The use of the singular shall also include the use of the plural and vice versa." (i.e. it can be return tickets). So this is reassuring, along with the liberal use of 'and/or' in the prepaid travel expenses eligibility paragraph so it can be departure taxes and/or...
