I have been a member since 29th May and have been using an Australian 4-digit postcode. Thank you Danger and grusselt for your replies

I have made 4 attempts to buy AA miles to take advantage of their latest offer. Two were via the net and 2 by phone. All went thru initially and were then "unsuccessful" so I am at my wit's end trying to take advantage of the latest bonus offer. Can anyone offer help/advice?

Slightly off topic but we took advantage of the SPG offer to buy miles which were then transferred to Velocity with the attached bonuses - cost about $A900 after charges etc but THEN our bank charged us $A132 and treated it like a cash withdrawal which took the cost up to (let's round it up)...

Thank you deva22. That has put my mind to rest. Now I can go ahead!

Hello I'm just a newbie and would love to buy some AA or Alaska miles but am terrified of getting penalised by one of the airlines I fly with - specially after reading this today:Welcome to Flat Beds. Real Fares, Real Service. At Flat Beds we specialise in getting you the best value business...

We had the same problem but were able to transfer (with no extra money or points) to BNE/AKL in F as Emirates are still flying that route. OK there is no great experience with entry to a F lounge like there is in SYD (I think it is a mixed F/Business lounge at the internatonal airport in...

Thank you for your help and quick reply. First will do nicely.

re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion Many Thanks. Sorry to have troubled you Thank

No, actually I was looking at the Etihad site itself but was going to use AA miles if a Guest Residence might be available. As a "newbie" I don't know the jargon either

Hi, I'm just a new member and am trying to educate myself by reading old posts with a particular interest in Etihad so I read lots of your posts which prompted me to enquire if you know if The Residence is ever available for miles redemptions? I can see plenty of Guest First seats but whatever...

Absolutely agree with you Danger - that would be awesome!

I thought Etihad was affiliated with Virgin/Velocity so wouldn't have tried to go to Qantas, but thank you for that info.

Thank you Rooflyer. Is ticketing sent electronically for us to print out or perhaps by snail mail?

Thank you Rooflyer. I have been spending some time reading lately and hope to improve my knowledge so I don't ask so many dumb questions. One thing I have not been able to find out via Google or anywhere else is if anyone is ever refused boarding just because they have a ticket bought with AA...

Thanks. Will use it.

Yes, it's shocking isn't it? Only just got into the swing of the AA and Alaska stuff tho as didn't ever dream it would be possible for us so just zoned out, I guess. I'm grateful to all for their patience. Thanks to all for looking after me

Thank you. Guess I will be having some expensive phone calls to the USA but will save money on the flights. Thanks to all for your generosity in sharing your knowledge with a newcomer.

Thank you. Now I understand

You are a legend! Thank you. I have had a look at the link you supplied and tried it. Does this mean we book through AA and don't buy the points and transfer them to the chosen airline? I note the choices on the site are Qantas and Royal Jordanian. Excuse my ignorance but what does QR...

OK Thank you. So their miles (calculations) are different to Etihad's? Sorry, I'm so new to all this and only joined AA yesterday so not allowed to buy yet.
