    Accor - Platinum Benefits?

    They said the exec lounge is no more when I checked in. I have seen notices around about renovations. Maybe it's temporary but that's not how it was portrayed. Maybe I am fussy, but I am likely to go back to where I normally stay and do get a very warm welcome and am made to feel like I'm not...

    Accor - Platinum Benefits?

    I'm at the Pullman Sydney (Hyde Park). Got a room upgrade, after asking, and a drink voucher. No executive lounge. Doesn't exist. Not overly welcoming. First time here. At the Pullman Auckland I always get all this plus complimentary water and chocolates in the room. Lounge access, late...

    VA Gold member complimentary upgrade

    I ignored that only because it was a one off. Didn't want to confuse the norm, which is possibly the case already for some that got them.

    Virgin's international lounge access - blatantly rubbish info on website

    that is discraceful, if it had have been me I would have calling virgin direct from the airport demanding to speak to someone with influence. Reading through this thread in general, I have to say its not our responsibility to be arguing with people to get stated benefits. If you have a status...

    VA Gold member complimentary upgrade

    Golds don't get complimentary upgrades I'm afraid. This is only a Platinum benefit.

    Family Pooling

    Not to mention as soon as someone is pooling to you the option for you to pool to someone else disappears.

    Question regarding re-qualifying and status..

    The more you earn the less its worth. The more loyal you are.... Once you re-qualify, all SC's up until your review date are thrown away, unless as pointed out, you happen to earn enough extra to give a gold or platinum companion membership. So make sure you achieve at least 500 extra...

    Will definitely check it out for the dates I need to fly. Thanks for the tip. ok had a look. (Sept). Same sort of price, but no direct so multiple sectors, which is a consideration if upgrading.

    Virgin lost their minds?

    Took the family to HBA last year from BNE. Total cost $1134 all flexi. Looking at the same this year and its $1974. That's hard to swallow, an $840 price rise. Even the Saver is significantly more than last years flexi, at $1485. By way of comparison, Jetstar is $400 less at $1098. Not...

    A330 subbed out for 738 on PER-SYD VA564 today (10/5/13)

    Perhaps my complaint actually had an effect on how the subs are handled. I was pretty miffed after flying my whole family to Melbourne especially to get on the A330 that we arrived to board a 738. I pointed out it is not a big think to expect business class pax to get a call and be provided...

    interesting, if a room upgrade was available it should have been free. Nice inclusions though.

    Companion Platinum or Earned Platinum

    Doesn't specifiy. So, one would assume, if you have someone currently nominated and you earn the SC's again then you would be entitled to nominate another. But apparently doesn't work that way.

    Companion Platinum or Earned Platinum

    So no one else gets caught out. I gave companion Platinum to my wife after earning it last year. I have already re qualified this year and called to see about giving a companion membership to my daughter and was told sorry you can only nominate one person. So, all my accumulated SC' just get...

    Yes because your not rebooking a special flight, your rebooking a normal flight. I was going to direct you to the Amex forum but medipri has kindly posted a link to it above.
