Yeah was treating that as a freebie as i wouldn't pay for a loyalty scheme. But they are the added perks i'd get.

Guess there is no way to tell if these large TA's use GDS or not. ATPI clearly don't

I don't qualify as I have the Qantas Ultimate card which really sucks.

I figured: Fee is $1,450 Benefits: $450 travel credit (which i believe can be used on hotels) $400 dining credit $624 Australian Subscription (i already pay for it). It pays itself off, then everything else is a freebie.

Yes looking to go down that route. Pre covid I had put my eggs in lots of baskets with hotel groups - so looking to re-focus. However considering the effort its almost cheaper to just pay the $1450 for the amex and align myself with one hotel group.

Always wondered what the benefit for booking a limo/town car service vs. uber was? Never had an issue booking ubers early or late in the day

Generally stay at Mantra on Russell (normally c.$200 per night). Nothing super flash but its clean and very convenient for dinner options.

I use ATPI Corporate travel agents and was told none of my stays count towards Accor which i though was pretty poor.

Do you find there is a difference in treatment between Honors Gold via credit card status vs earning it through stays - or status is status for them?

Yes want to move from AMEX Qantas Ultimate to Amex Platinum - but will need to cancel for 18m to get the offer. Have heaps of qantas points

Thanks, Doing a lot of SYD-MEL-SYD runs for work (which gets next to nothing in SC) and trying to work out if its cheaper or in line to do a status run then pay for QC.

Is there a better tool to try and plan these runs then the qantas/oneworld flight booking page? (that's available to the public?)

Saw this deal on St Hugo Coonawarra Cab Sav 2010 - $294 for a dozen delivered ($24.5 per bottle) https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/731902

Thanks - where is that from?
