Can now confirm an ibis budget does earn at the lowest level of 5 status points, despite not saying as such on the website earning table. Bit deceiving as you'd think it would come in with the other ibis properties, if not explicitly mentioned. No worries. Is what it is. "stayed" - haha ibis...

Another way to look at it is that if you can earn Platinum on your own through status points, by also buying Signature you'd actually net yourself Diamond, or near enough. While the points can be meaningless as you can't earn status points while using them, I find the experiences you can buy to...

Fair enough. Not for me, but YMMV.

That's a little annoying, I had assumed incorrectly that it was 4000 status points after I hit Platinum from whatever means.

Can also confirm re: Ibis Budget and received a drink of choice from their alcohol fridge to take to my room. Will have to look at what I paid, change to Euro and so forth to work out what rate I'm earning at. I had assumed it was above Mantra rates as indicated by @oz_mark

Been a while since I've heard that term :)

I know this is late now, but I'd have though KG is King bed and the EF might be Executive Floor. I guess, as a Plat if you upgraded yourself, a complimentary upgrade might be even better.

Did you try enter a second time? I looked through the T&C and couldn't see anything about exchanging currency more than once... or attending both days?

Received notice about this in early November, but didn't see it posted here. Has anyone participated? I note that Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland have all had their day, but Brisbane is coming up on Thursday and Friday this week. I don't really work in the city, but was considering making a trip...

I was looking at the SNU's at the Sofitel Darling Harbour about a month or two ago. Could get the Junior suite about $750 and the Prestige Suite $850 but the Bellerive Suite was about $1200/night when I was looking, and I was very tempted. I couldn't quite workout if it was above the lounge or...

I was never able to select seats when I had EXST and usually ended up in row 6 or so of a Dash-8 compared to the first few rows when not on EXST. I used to have the system down pat in about 2012-2013 when I requalified WP on EXST in QLD alone. Used to be about $150 one-way on the milk-run, so...

I see similar and have Accor+ through my Amex Charge. I receive my points on the last day of each month.

You'd require birth date to be entered when signing up. Like anything, you can lie, but it would then come down to AFF to police. If you recall a few years ago there were two Aussie kids who wanted to start an airline and got some facetime with Alan Joyce? They were both in primary school and...

I visited the Cayman Islands when I was a boy... and I was there on Friday night. Was that pin entered?

Received the other day.

Wonder who it could be?

Does this go at the bottom of thread pages? May have been a part of an add-on instead of baked in functionality.

This is something I don't really understand. I've phoned BA from Australia and connected to what I assumed was India and had great service. I've phoned AMEX in Australia and definitely connected to the Philippines and received great service. So why is it so hard for Qantas - or VA - to contract...

Some interesting changes, obviously doesn't affect me and overall seems like it will be harder for most, but probably a smart play by the airline in the grand scheme of things. I wonder when profiles will update to show how many SC people have towards forever gold and what percentage of users...

I especially like, whether on purpose or inadvertently, that you kept the "agree", "informative" and "hugs" reactions, which I put into place what seems like a lifetime ago :) Regarding the "like" icon, I have a link to share...
