    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    Rang AMEX yesterday enquiring as to the whereabouts of my points from Oct thru Dec and was assured they would be credited by end of Feb. If they're not, i'll be declaring war as this is the third time these points have been "delayed" :mad:

    AMEX going broke ???

    Ethernet was spot on and summed up all the major "pressure" points. This constitutes a pretty good game plan. If you have a friend or any other third party (especially a legal friend), you can also consider making a "tendered conditional offer", where a third party writes to the lender...

    Virgin America

    heated agreement with Clifford and Gold Member. My wife & I flew VA in November: LAS-SFO and SFO-LAX. Both flights on time, charming and efficient service, great IFE on "RED" - I was switching back and forth between the Giants game and watching the auto execs squirming on the hill - lounge...

    AFF Gathers: In Melbourne!! [1-3 August 2008]

    Not sure what your group dining requirements are, however thought I'd let you know that I have a restaurant in the Melbourne CBD, which is quite popular and has received critical acclaim.

    Closure of SYD Elite Res Ctr

    FWIW, my recent experience of making mileage plus award bookings has been a fairly happy one. Notwithstanding varying degrees of language difficulties with the different accents, I've found most of the staff fairly competent. I'm happy to persist with them as using the miles to fly business on...

    thanks Clifford. The scare has reinforced for me that FF's need to burn the points as they are accruing them; lest the airlines take em anyway!

    Mileage Plus Changes - when did they happen

    Hi Bill, thanks for the e. I had read Clifford's post. It seemed to me to refer to a change of interpretation in redeeming miles. What I'm referring to is that UAL seem to have just changed by 60%+ the amount of miles you need to redeem point to point aus-usa return. Have I missed...

    Mileage Plus Changes - when did they happen

    Hi Guys & Gals, I logged into my mileage plus account to check on seat award availability and discovered that business class award tickets between Aus & US are now 150,000 miles. In June 04 I secured three tickets for 270,000 (90,000 each), so no doubt the rules have changed, I just had no...
