    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Fun fact: Just in Mel F lounge now going to HKT via SIN with silkair SIN-HKT. Apparently no Golden TPR invitation if onward flight is with silkair. Guess no golden souvenir for this flight.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    You can also give a dummy if it's not feeding time yet. Its more the chewing/sucking motion that helps alleviate the pressure change. So feeding or dummy will help either way. Chewing gum for adults will also do the same thing. Sometimes they will pack a kids play pack, which may or may not...

    Awards and married flights

    I had a similar situation. MEL-SIN-SGN MEL 0105-SIN 0545 then SIN 0950-SGN 1100. Searching Business MEL-SGN did not show the above flights at all, (searched most days over a 2 month period and it was nowhere to be seen but search separately showed available saver seats. My intention was to...

    Availability of Singapore KrisFlyer First Class Awards from Aust to Europe

    I had a search for June Departure out of MEL and Return in the first half of July. I did this search about 2-3 months ago. Only found 12 flights (for 2 pax) MEL-SIN, 4 flights SIN-LHR with Saver seats. None for the other 3 ports. For the return I found 1 flight CDG-SIN and 1 for FRA-SIN. Didn't...

    Wait times for KrisFlyer

    I've been having trouble booking waitlist flights for the past few days. Keeps coming up with an error. Over at SQtalk there's a bit of chatter over the same problem. Maybe there's a lot of people trying to call through to do waitlist/bookings? Is online Booking revenue/redemption seats working?

    SQ devaluation coming Jan 24 2019

    Well it doesn't say you can't waitlist again within 14 days? You don't need an existing flight booked to waitlist. You just need the required points in your account to waitlist. Yes, essentially your trip shouldn't really be planned around a waitlisted flight. Most people waitlist first then...

    SQ devaluation coming Jan 24 2019

    They've updated their search form on their website, bit laggy and timing out a lot at the moment. Must be getting ready for the new flexible search.

    SQ devaluation coming Jan 24 2019

    Really love the flexible redemption availability view over 7 days. The only consistent feedback I've been giving SQ is to make their award search search a lot easier. Makes searching for seats less time consuming. I think the both Saver and Advantage have a 5% increase, which doesn't seem much...

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    Just received my Platinum Business Card enhancement letter. No mention of points doubling. Does it come on a different letter or should it be on the same letter?

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    Yeah, I thought it was weird when she "offered" to double the points if I agree not to cancel the card rather than just doubling it like most others here. Regardless, I'll be waiting for written confirmation so they can't back out of this "offer".

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    So just got of the phone to overseas call centre for platinum. Just so you're aware, I've got the Platinum Business Charge card which links to an ascent program. The operator had to "put me on hold" so she can check the account history etc, then came back saying she could offer me the double...

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    I've got a business plat charge where points go to normal ascent. So hoping they get doubled too.

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    With the Citi devaluation, there was quite a bit of uproar from us with respect to their notice period and eventually they backed down and gave us extended notice.

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    It would have been a terrible move only doubling points for certain cardholders.

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    Q1= Most will be transferring across to your favourite FF program if they've got plans for the points in the upcoming year(s) as a lot of FF programs have expiry on points once it hits your account. Q2=Typically, Points for cash gives terrible redemption rates to the point that it defeats the...

    AMEX platinum Accor plus reinstated

    When would booking using Accor plus be cheaper than Le club? Thought they would have same discount (i.e. 10%)?

    AMEX platinum Accor plus reinstated

    I've never really understood the differences between the 2 programs besides Accor Plus gives discount dining/drinks and Le club gives the room upgrades/lounge/breakfast. Or is that essentially it? So now that I've got my Le Club gold and re-applying for Accor Plus. Should all my stays be going...

    AMEX platinum Accor plus reinstated

    Well, from the comments in ozb, it looks like you can have both but have to keep it separate on different accounts. I just remembered I've been paying for my Accor Plus directly for the past couple years and didn't renew this year hence why I can't log in. So had to go into Amex to re-apply...

    AMEX platinum Accor plus reinstated

    So I just bought the Ibis Business card for 90 EUR. Instantly upgraded my Le Club card from Silver to Gold and was showing in my Le Club account online straight away. Having trouble logging into my Accor Plus account. Expiry is for end of next year. Need 60 nights or 14,000 points to qualify for...
