Got the 100,000 / 300 offer. But only have 73,000

Just tried the IFE for the first time in awhile, now I have actually found it available. Regardless of how popular the route I always seemed to miss out, it was starting to feel like a myth. Sadly, not all good news. I couldn't find a single latest release movie. Would prefer a system that...

I ended up cancelling all my Hilton bookings and stayed at my regular haunts.

No. It says if it has been more than 20 business days PM.

I don't know that I would call the decline in service recent. It's been declining for a long time and you don't need to focus on food. I think even management is over it. I had a issue that got escalated to senior management a few years back and I got a very quick personal response with a...

I guess I can't complain as it has only been 3 weeks but I'm miffed I have a whole bunch of travel that won't get the diamond treatment or contribute towards retaining it. :(

Re: Upgrades from Saver Much better value saving points for international.

Re: Upgrades from Saver What a waste of time. Upgrade flights now lose all their flexibility, they don't get any extra status credits and cost heaps in points. The upgrade is solely for the seat! Big cost for a seat. Would consider an upgrade if I was adding the upgraded fares flexibility...

Would have been happy with a Challenge. If my HHonors request option was still available under my Velocity login that's what I would have got anyway. A bit disappointed on a flat refusal though. :( If they are keen to get VA members I would have that this would still be the case direct. I...

I took the IHG option a couple of years ago. But now we are moving significant business to Hilton. Since the HHonors option is no longer available to me I thought I'd email direct and ask. Just heard back. Declined saying it was a targeted offer :(

And now I have renewed I cannot try it :( :( Can't seem to get a hit on PP on starthere either. Was it just a short term offer ?

Had a colleague that I suggested the Virgin card to early last year. Just got a note from him that he went to book a couple of return tickets from Bris to Syd. The total cost was $387 with the 2for1. Booking the same flights online without the 2for1 was $356. He ended up booking with Qantas...

There you go. I was taken by surprise when the charge on my CC was the same as joining. starthere is no good for renewal though is it.

They wont match Accor Platinum at all.

What does everyone understand the renewal cost for PP to be ?

That makes sense. I hadn't really ever taken much note. But thought the sliding scale dropped off a bit quick and has a significant impact when you have kids. So much for a bigger saving in reward for bigger spend. Normally when I shop the more I spend the bigger the discount I ask for.

Of course. But I would prefer to get benefits that a real benefits and not have to calculate everything out to make it worth something. I got $50 value out of the voucher this last weekends stay, would be starting to reach its max though without eating even less and drinking for the sake of...

Its still not worth $100. I would estimate food is going to cost at a minimum $80 per person, $160 for 2 so the voucher is worth no more than $20 at best because $80 is what you'll pay with standard dining benefits. Even in a group the saving depends on spend. The more you spend the less you...

On the double dipping issue just to give my 2c, I think it should be allowed. Otherwise membership is devalued. For example, $100 dining voucher and pp dining benefit can't both be used. So if you spend $200 which is pretty easy these days the $100 voucher is a valueless piece of paper...

Thanks Markis. Yes I do. Will they accept both and make an adjustment at check-in. As when booking it doesn't allow you to specify more than 1 certificate for the reservation. Both expire next week. Would be a shame to waste them.
