    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    Might be more of a fight club situation given it is not supposed to apply to Aus cardholders anyway.

    I also have new Temple & Webster, Ergoflex and Adidas offers on my Plat today (nothing to write home about sadly).

    You can get kicked ooot of the country for saying that, eh.

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    I am looking at something similar, but from reading this thread I believe if you go through AC/Aeroplan (and keep the card open and pay annual fee again next year) you get 50K/*G status to the end of the calendar year in which your status expires - so should be end of 2025?

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    Anyone who did this, is your Hertz account actually showing the new status yet? I did it more than 72 hours ago and status hasn't changed from normal 5 star.

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    Damn I was probably lucky I didn't get arrested in the US about 18 months ago! I returned a Hertz car (on time) to a hotel/convention centre parking lot in Orlando where they had a rental counter and did a key drop as counter was closed that day before flying up to DC. Then noticed the next...

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    UA also flys SYD<->IAH, but it is seasonal and finishes in late March so you may be able to just catch it there? Gets you closer to the east coast and a ~2.5hr flight in Y is a lot better than a ~5hr one IMHO if it comes to that.

    Assuming this is as simple as it sounds, anyone got the US link?

    How to book Velocity Amex free flight?

    Does anyone have experience with booking the free flight and then cancelling the card prior to the flight?

    Adding a new segment to an existing oneworld classic-reward

    If you have no luck on the phone, you could try contacting QF via their Facebook Messenger chat. Once you manage to bypass the bot, they are quite helpful (albeit somewhat slow due to timezone differences - they seem to be South Africa-based). I am NB but managed to get SYD-CBR flights added...

    What's going on with reward availability to Europe?

    That is a Seats.Aero search. You will need a paid account to search more than 3 months out.

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Assume those would be the new CR+ which are supposed to be released today? Edit: actually may have been a CR dump as well??

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    Looks like a VS benefit (see here). For Amex Plat you don't get passes, you just show your boarding pass and card.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Another data point: Plat Charge, had the card for 2 years with maybe $3-4k spend per month, annual fee charged last week. Called around 3pm AEDT today, sounded like it was answered in the Philippines. Selected 'Card cancellations' from the voice menu, and advised operator I wanted to cancel...

    Switching from earning QFF points to Velocity.

    Did you need to do anything special to get this? I have had the NAB Qantas card for about 2 months and received the bonus points, and thinking of changing it over to the Rewards card because of the above changes (and potentially getting the bonus Rewards points). Do you mean for the QF points...

    Lots of Unhappy Vegemites on delayed QF 11 SYD-LAX

    Would there be much of a difference??

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    For this issue, just say 'I want to book a reward flight' or 'I want to add flights to an existing booking'. You don't need the phone agent to know what an OWA is, as the system does, and it will automatically apply the cap if the booking meets the criteria. To be fair though, a lot of those...

    Claiming points via one FF program but utilizing status of a different one

    I think there was some discussion in another thread (presumably in the Singapore Airlines sub-forum) that SQ now lets you add one number to a booking for status eligibility and a separate number for points earn? Not quite certain on exact details.

    Lots of Unhappy Vegemites on delayed QF 11 SYD-LAX

    Had the exact same thing happen to us coming off a delayed QF11 about a year and a half ago - missed J connection to MCO, ended up on Delta in economy at the back of the bus where our row was literally across the aisle from the toilet/s. Was a long ~5 hours.
