    American Express travel insurance- I'm confused, can anyone help?

    My understanding is that Amex payment of the Australia out and return legs of the trip triggers the insurance. This then covers you for everything else on the trip, regardless of how paid.

    Seat Advice PE 747 - 400

    I have an upcoming flight in PE on a 747 - 400. The seat config is 2x4x2. Rows 34 - 37. I think this is the older config.

    Avianca Brazil Amigo status match

    I just said I have gold status with Avianca and showed them the temporary card. They looked something up so I presume there is some reference to individual memberships on the Star Alliance system. Nothing was questioned. But if it was I'd just say "I have just reached this status and they told...

    Avianca Brazil Amigo status match

    I printed off the temporary card and used it when I recently flew with Thai. It got me all the privileges, from priority check-in, to lounge use without question. You're right though, it is a bit tricky to print off the card with all the info intact. I took a photo of the screen and then sized...

    Amex Platinum card insurance and The Rolling Stones

    This again highlights the "uncertainty" that exists with regard to travel related coverage "triggered" by credit card purchases. There is never any actual acknowledgement that insurance cover is "triggered" for a specific travel event. I believe that in all cases where the policy requirements...

    Return Flight Booked - only using return leg- Is whole flight forfeited?

    If I book a return flight on Jetstar (because this in combo with an accommodation package is cheaper than booking same accommodation + 1 way flight), what happens if I use the first sector but just want to use the return. The agent on Expedia told me that the whole fight will be forfeited in the...

    Shop small in your neighbourhood - Spend $20 or more and get $10 back

    I noticed that my friends store was still listed in my area(Newcastle, NSW) for the offer...it's been closed for 3 years! Generally I didn't see that much of interest - obviously not many participants, as has been noted before AMEX fees are not viable for many small businesses.

    Disparity in point requirements between partner airlines

    I have been trying to book a business class reward seat from Milan to Sydney. Apart from the fact there is no seats available with Etihad, the agent told me that points required for Singapore airlines for similar flights will always be significantly more , regardless of class. I 'm not sure why...

    European Reward Bookings - What's Going On?

    Economy availability totally gone again, but Reward Business available from mid December. It's crazy! I think a Year 10 student could have done a better job of developing and sustaining the website.
