    "Enhancements" to MR earn on Platinum Card, Reserve & Centurian

    How do you get 1.9 KF Miles? I also have Citi Select and the earn is 2 points per dollar then coverted to KF miles at 1.5 to 1 giving a real conversion of 1.33 KF miles per dollar. Is this because of your overseas spend? Cheers, Mitch :)

    "Enhancements" to MR earn on Platinum Card, Reserve & Centurian

    Just as a matter of interest, if you book thru Earn 5 Membership Rewards Bonus Points for every $1 spent you are entitled to another 5 points per dollar on top of the standard Amex points. Cheers, Mitch

    Citibank Select - Bonus 80k points

    I received mine about 2 weeks ago and received 80k points after first spend. You must activate the card and spend at least once before they credit the points to your rewards account. Let us know if you receive 50 or 80K as 80 was the old offer. Cheers, Mitch

    "Enhancements" to MR earn on Platinum Card, Reserve & Centurian

    Not happy also re Amex changes. I actually have a Platinum Credit Card which has recently been renamed Plat Reserve. I pay an annual fee of $192 (rather than $395) but get no annual flight as I was upgraded to Plat a few years ago when Amex dropped the Gold Maximiser Card and promised the same...

    Luggage allowance with different airlines [Separate Tickets]

    These are always separate tickets. QF booked & purchased online on QF website. SQ booked as an award ticket online on the SQ website. Maybe the check in staff like me? :confused:

    Luggage allowance with different airlines [Separate Tickets]

    I travel often to SIN from TMW. TMW to SYD with QF and then SYD to SIN with SQ. I can book checked baggage right thru everytime to SIN (& beyond) from TMW using both airlines. Why is this so??? Cheers, Mitch :)

    Why can't I fly to the US cheaply anymore???

    Hi Willzzz, I should have said the "young bloke" is 20 years old. I can''t imagine he will doing too much screaming in J class. He will be in awe I think after spending many flights in Y or cattle class as he calls it! Like I said, this will spoil him for the future. Cheers:eek:

    Why can't I fly to the US cheaply anymore???

    Greetings All, Just to update you on this story.... I have ended up booking the trip thru Kris Flyer on points in J (found some extras to transfer across) with OZ (Asiana). The young bloke will now be spoilt for Y! The trip is SYD-ICN-LAX-ICN-SYD. Taxes & fees were S$745 each (about A$500) which...

    Why can't I fly to the US cheaply anymore???

    Hi Cove, I looked briefly at SYD-SIN-IAH (via Moscow!) and saw 8hrs plus 23 hours in Y and thought "uggh". Bearable in J but with my young bloke in tow, I just don't have the points for 2. Are you saying that the conversion of KF points is very good when transferring them via Star Alliance to...

    Why can't I fly to the US cheaply anymore???

    Hi Oz, Thanks for your input on this. I have SQ KF points but have never booked with another *A member & only ever used them on SQ (which has always been my preference). Is it economical to book with another *A member? (SYD-IAH) and how is it done? I have only ever booked thru SQ website in...

    Why can't I fly to the US cheaply anymore???

    Greetings All, I need to take an unexpected trip SYD to Houston with my son (20 y.o) within the next 2 months. I was shocked to find that all the $900 return Y fares have vanished. The QF return to Dallas is $1700 and not much less to LA. I am a Kris Flyer member with about 200K points but not...

    Bintan or Batam

    I visited Malacca a couple of years ago and also loved the food, history & night markets complete with the street showman/salesman/conman who claimed to be able push his index finger thru a coconut! Bizarre but hilarious! During all this he tried to sell his "special linament" for aches & pains...

    The QF Response to a pretty terrible flight attendant

    Agree that QF service & attitude are not a patch SQ. It is unfortunate that I feel the need to avoid QF wherever possible. :(

    J Saver Available on A380 SYD-SIN on Singapore Airlines

    Yes Skysuite. And they are (or should I say were) fantatstic. Such a shame they have taken the 74's off the SYD run. These were also available on a Saver fare! Excellent value.:(

    J Saver Available on A380 SYD-SIN on Singapore Airlines

    Thx for the info. I was not aware they (spacebeds) were on the 747 except for F. I thought all SQ 747's were the old J seats (2+3+2) :?::?:
