    European Reward Bookings - What's Going On?

    Over 2 days I've been trying to find out why all European reward bookings seem to be unavailable at any stage during this year. I wanted to book a London return reward flight in July. The online booking system just shows everything as "sold out". On phoning customer "service" I have been given...

    American Express Platinum Charge Card enhancement - Virgin Lounge access

    No it's a Plat Charge Supp and it does look different to my Primary card. My primary card has a black border and chip. The Supp has no border just a vertical line to the right and the wording Platinum. Does it say anywhere(ie AMEX or Virgin terms of entry) that Supp cards should be accepted?

    American Express Platinum Charge Card enhancement - Virgin Lounge access

    Supp charge cardholder was not allowed access to the Melbourne Lounge this week. The primary card holder(me) was OK. Luckily there was another way I could get my partner into the lounge, so we could both go in. The woman behind the desk flashed a card showing pictures of the cards that were...

    AMEX not accepted or surcharge

    Just got a text from Vodafone saying that from July 25 surcharge using Amex will increase from 1%+GST to 2.15%+GST. Seems pretty outrageous to me - not sure who to be p**sed off with more Amex or Vodafone!

    American Express Platinum Charge Card enhancement - Virgin Lounge access

    This will be difficult when travelling with spouse who is a supp card holder(and flying Virgin). I suppose they will be counted as a "guest" and not permitted entry. So that in effect is a "No" for the couple!

    Travel insurance - amex Plat Charge Card supplementary cardholder

    I suppose most spouses would be supplementary card holders, so I'm presuming that a spouse who is a supplementary card holder is OK.

    Platinum Card, what will I get for $900

    I currently have the Plat charge and the Plat credit with 2 companion cards. Now that the Travel Insurance terms have changed to coverage only if the airline tix are purchased on the card, I can't really see how it's better value than the Plat credit card. This was the main incentives for me. I...

    Enjoy a night away on us (AMEX Charge Platinum)

    Nice offer - just booked Fort Lauderdale. There does appear to be 2 periods from which you can book, many of the Hotel stays are available from January 1st and some only available from April 01. The specifics were not included in my original pack, I only found out when I went to book a March...

    Thanks Virgin!!

    Just from readings around the boards and from friends feedback I think that the status upgrade/match offer was a very sound marketing strategy(as well as the bonus of timing with all the Qantas dramas). It seems to have converted many to Virgin and Velocity. I've got to admit that I've been a...

    Two for One Business Fares

    Does the AMEX Plat Charge Card still offer 2 for 1 business fares? If so, has anyone recently used it or checked it out and do you save much on buying 2 discounted business fares?
