    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    This was resolved, enjoy your flight!! but in future your options are to HUCA, write to your local member of parliament, become the CEO of Qantas or win the jackpot and hire a private lawyer. All of these are likely to have similar rates of success when dealing with QF call centre as others can...

    Credit Card Offers Citi Prestige Bonus Point Offers & Discussion

    I think prestige is 3:1 for QR but 2.5:1 for SQ. Redeeming for SQ might be cheaper even if the nominal price is higher

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I can't even get QR on schedule open. Might be resigned to using my avios on SYD-DPS on Garuda. Not the worst use IMO.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I think it depends on what type of Wise US checking you have. Old ones yes, new ones recent data says no IIRC. You can set up a non-resident alien checking account with Alliant, a few other ways have been discussed in this thread

    At the risk of rubbing salt in the wound, did you try emailing the ticketing escalations email address?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I know a few (hundred) pages back someone worked out that Alipay was being coded as Hilton Honors direct spend (roflmao) for 14x back on aspire. I dug deeper and noticed that there are (a range of) services promoting bpay via alipay, mostly in the language you would expect Alipay talk to be in...

    Article: How I Save Money by Flying Business Class from Cairo

    BA and RJ both fly out of Terminal 2. Can I just OLCI and walk to the new boarding gate or does it not work like that at CAI? Happy to pay $25USD for a "tourist" visa for five hours. Can try to work in an overnight stay as well if it works for the itinerary.

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    It is less than 24 hours but I don't think time matters for "surface segments", flying into out of JFK and out of LGA etc counts as a surface segment even if it is <24 hour connection. Hope I am wrong, I guess I will find out when I attempt to change the booking but hope I can know what ground...

    I have the best Nova story I ticked the nova box I was told I didn't tick the nova box and it would be assessed with my credit history. (Amex reps who aren't on the fraud line are just as badly trained as QF offshore staff. They make things up) I was approved anyway with 0 credit history...

    Brains trust question for CAI specifically. In an ill-advised attempt to avoid long haul economy no matter the cost of my sanity, I have a transfer with two separate tickets at CAI. Hand luggage only, no checked bags. 5 hour transit time. Will this be possible?

    AMEX rejection

    The last time I applied 3 months ago, I actually got a call at like 7am in the morning from someone with a very Australian accent (or very good at faking one) asking me to verify some details. Then, I was declined on the phone. I suppose that this was better than getting auto declined. Maybe...

    Separate ticket connection at CMB - arrive on SQ468 at 11:35pm, depart on UL501 at 03:25am. 3hr50 min transfer time. First time at CMB but played this game before. Doable or stupidest thing ever at midnight, when all the desks are probably closed?

    Booked on HND-SIN on JL as part of OWA in F - JL equipment swap from APR-NOV from 777-300 to 787. Anyone have a crystal ball and can tell me if they will swap to A350-1000 for NOV-MAR again? Or do I prepare myself for a 3 hour phone call with qantas
