    How do AFF membership Levels Work?

    The actual idea is to disincentivise off topic posting. The posts that count are in areas that are core to the theme of the website, rather than fringe topics. Of course, nothing to stop you posting off topic in a core thread/forum, but that would be harder to police.

    How do AFF membership Levels Work?

    If a post doesn't count to a higher member title, it likewise won't increase your post count. You could post once in the Qantas forum and 100 times in the playground, but your profile would still just show 1 post to your name.

    Wendouree allocations and general discussion

    Considering my credit card details are there for all to see, I'd prefer to know it arrived to the right place than the alternative - no wine and dubious charges :P

    Night Terrors: Mercure Bendigo Schaller

    Was it a key card where it wouldn't work, or an actual key that did work but you had the night chain across the door so they couldn't open it further than that? Because it sounds more like someone forgot their room number if a key card that wouldn't work. If the key worked, but you were saved by...

    Classic rewards upgrade… not immediately confirmed 🫤

    This has happened to me, luckily I got a knowledgeable agent on the phone who cancelled the request and resubmitted, and hey presto!

    Wendouree allocations and general discussion

    Interesting, my first year as a green crayon (second overall) and my form got back to the Clare last Friday, so shall be keeping an eye out now :)

    Have some pre-booked accommodation starting today, and also next week, will be interested to see if I get anything extra or not. Sometimes things work out.

    Accor Plus Membership Discussion

    An interesting list you have there, my card (Gold Accor+) currently displays as xx_xx_5 xx_xx_3A 5. Doesn't line up exactly, but more or less there, just reversed.

    Accor Fast Track to Silver/Gold/Platinum

    I've been in similar circumstances as a Platinum, then dropping to Gold, then dropping to Silver (as others qualify for offers), and I expect it will happen again unless I continue shelling for Signature every year, but the points will be useful going forward. Lots of Coldplay tickets on offer...

    Wendouree allocations and general discussion

    I looked back to see I signed up in 2021 and received a letter back. In 2022 I received a letter saying I couldn't order. In 2023 I received a letter with one of those Diamond/transparent crayons. This year it is a green crayon. Will aim to send back today.

    Wendouree allocations and general discussion

    Got a green crayon this year. Can’t recall what I got last year. I think I’m going to do 3 of each again. Roll the dice.

    Accor Fast Track to Silver/Gold/Platinum

    As I'll be Platinum again soon enough, has anyone ever seen a fast track, by way of status points I guess, to Diamond?

    Sounds like Any Seat Award, or whatever they're called now?

    Build us an App!

    You sort of have to look at the history of AFF and apps to fully understand, but years ago there was an app when we used vBulletin. It was a skinned version of one provided by Tapatalk. It worked quite well at the time, some interesting features, but Tapatalk got too big for their boots and...

    Is there a need for a new Oneworld tier above Emerald?

    I could see it being called Diamond, much to the chagrin of CX, but the issue really comes down to numbers of users in those levels at each airline as to what benefits could be expected/access to the best experiences. Think of it like the CL lounge or P1/CL getting reserved spots in the F...

    Accor Fast Track to Silver/Gold/Platinum

    If you'll become (drop down to) Silver 1st December, I'd book a long range 3-night stay in mid-December now as cheaply as you can get - this promotion will then see you earn equivalent 33 nights when you take that stay and push you back up to Gold, with possible 2 whole years worth as you'll...

    AFR fake news regarding Qantas

    If it were me, I'd send a politely-worded email to see if the issues could be resolved with the story, and then when it was resolved either in the positive or negative, I'd post a thread showing that I got the story changed to correctly report the facts - thus showing it was ignorance on the...
