So if you claim anything on the Personal Goods exempt list on the way out of Aus, Are they exempt from being reported on the way back? e.g. you buy clothing and shoes above $900 at TRS and go for holidays for a week then come back with said clothing, do you need to declare or will Customs check...

Anyone tried booking 4x Advantage F (booking 2 then booking another 2 on the same flight) to anywhere? Use to be achievable when Savers (2x Saver + 2x Adv) were available pre-covid but everything has changed now and only Advantage is available in F.

Ahh no, only checked ambasador as flight is in and out of T3. Just checked Aerotel and it's $247 for 2pax 7 hrs. Don't have old recipet for aerotel or Crowne so can't compare pre-covid pricing. well it's midnight arrival with morning departure so definetly require hotel at the airport for max...

What's everyones thoughts on pricing for the transit hotel? Prices seem to have jumped massively from pre-covid. Use to be ~$145 (double occupancy) for 7 hours in '19 but now it's $275 (double occupancy) for 7 hrs, nearly doubled. It's $560 for 24hrs which seems ridiculous. Crown Plaza is only...

After reading the finer print, it seems Advantage rates aren't really being touched, especially for our sectors (1-9) and with the minimal availability of Savers now, it doesn't really affect us much. Seems like the devaluation already occured once restrictions lifted and most savers were taken...

oh dam. My amex Premium ascent is getting rate reduction of 3:2 to 2:1 for SQ on 1st July and now this. Double whammy. This is going to hurt.

Oh, mine is 1 point/$1. It's a pharmac_ wholesaler Amex card. It could just be change for these types of card or Business Ascent in general? Just wondering if it is all Business Plat cards?

So I just received a letter the other day from Amex about Changes you your American Express Business Card Program (Business Ascent). Going from 0.667miles/$ to 0.5miles/$ is going to hurt. I know it's not amazing earn rates but it was either eft payment to my wholesaler or joining their...

Just checking, but booking 2x OW is ok to do now? There's no need to book a return ticket as there is no more restrictions in SIN wrt transit/customs etc?

Regarding the Amex Travel insurance, I'm just having a read of it now. Policy states that it only applies to return trips or where you have an intention of returning to Australia. I assume 2x One way trips are covered if you on holiday for say a few weeks and do have the intention of returning?

If it's worth the postage then it's probably not worth the risk of losing it in the mail system.

So previous travel companions on same PNR would be linked? E.g. flying with spouse previously on same PNRs frequently and then they are on seperate PNRs but on same flight would they get still flagged?

Guilty until proven innocent.

If you are on same itinerary you may be linked? Or if married it may be linked via passport? Can anyone confirm? I remember claiming an expensive watch >$1000. Was told I would be checked on the way back. I wasn't. YMMV tough. I remember a mate telling me he claimed a engagement ring on...

I've been randomly looking Jan-May for J/F 1-2 Weeks ago and there was heaps of J's in Jan/Feb/Mar on the a350 (2 flights ex-Mel), even saw some with 4 J pax available in Feb. Now there's zilch until 27th March when it switches to 4x777 flights ex-Mel with heaps J seats available. Maybe...

So, what you're kinda trying to say is: Before November 22nd 2021, transfer 426,000 Amex MR (see below). Then in January 31st 2022 transfer enough to get you over the line to hit 50k Elite miles for *G. Then before February 28th 2022, transfer enough to get you close to 50k elite miles, but...

So it's been a while booking redemptions with SQ, so I (and maybe a few others) need a referesher. I want to book 4 pax for J class MEL-SIN. There are no MEL-SIN but I found 4 J savers SIN-MEL in April. There are plenty of J saver & Adv MEL-SIN for 2 pax. What do I do now? Do I book 2 J...

Yes, I'm sure I've seen 6x J savers available before (pre-covid) but wasn't 100% sure since it's been over 2 years of looking.

Anyone had success finding more than 3 saver/advantage J seats for next year?

If you can, depending on your nominee situation, redeem 1 adult + 1 child. Then purchase 1 adult + 1 child. Saves the hassle of having to explain the unaccompanied minor form not being filled out etc. I'm sure you can call up to purchase tickets for the children and link it to your booking...
