    Death of the in flight magazine

    I enjoy the physical copy to flick through on flights and get me off my device :)

    Changes to how you use your $450 Travel Credit

    Have previously found the Amex site sometimes filters out flights if you’ve selected morning, afternoon or evening time periods.

    Virgin Australia Boeing 737 Max 8

    Yep 738-8 is the correct short name from Boeing. Personally I would have like to have seen it cleared called the Max but I’m sure they very purposefully selected 737-8.

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    Yep you can't discount Accor in Aus as they have so many more properties than the other major chains. Sure many are average, but they do have some great properties too.

    Accor hotels charging higher prices when logged in as a member with “complimentary” breakfast due to status

    Accor's website is pretty useless with adding kids into bookings, especially infants. I almost never include the kids in the booking as it often only shows you family rooms and not base rooms, that we perfectly fine when you only have one infant in a porta cot.

    Interesting, last time I was looking at booking THC there was no option to add hotel membership number to link to the booking - has this changed? Or perhaps it’s only for some hotels in THC.

    Qantas app refresh (new look)

    Yes looks nicer but mostly cosmetic. No fixes to MMB which still loads as a website flyover and doesn’t auto login to you account despite being logged into the app (as least for me).

    Qantas club changes?

    Wow… they defs silently got rid of this benefit then! Used it multiple times before becoming Silver/Gold and saved so much time checking in for international flights…

    What credit card do you use as a sidekick to your AMEX?

    I’m sticking with CBA awards and taking advantage of the bonus points during conversation that come around a few times a year. The increased $60 few to convert to Qantas is not worth it for the small points earn.

    Accor Plus Membership Discussion

    Defs an improvement with the 20 nights vs just silver status. Now they just need to fix the earning rates for the Mantra/Peppers properties.

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    Yep! It’s practical as it always the flight attendants to see through and it goes with the brand, so I’ve alway felt it worked well. What they needed was better seats, which they are finally getting! No they won’t be a leap forward compared to qantas seats that have been around for ages, but...

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    I hope they come up with something clever as a new cabin divider rather than install a minimal sky divider that doesn’t really provide any separation. The exisiting wall divider has always been a great difference from QF and made the business chain feel like an actual cabin.

    Qantas agent made typo in surname for J reward China Airlines reward. Help.

    Good outcome, but shouldn’t have required you to get that email from a forum…. The call centre should have escalated appropriately…

    Qantas agent made typo in surname for J reward China Airlines reward. Help.

    They can change, but I suspect it will take quite some persistence to get it done. It is their mistake after all…

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    That might be what the Chubb call centre have been trained to say, however, I think they are on shaky ground as there is no definition provided in the T+C's that defines the word corresponding to mean "FF points came from MR". My read of eligibility criteria 4ii is outbound flights payed with...

    Also got the same survey…. Can definitely see the theme of reduced value via less credits or higher fees.
