    Virgin Australia Discover Gold (Status Match)

    I thought it was 80 credits in 90 days and 200 credits within 12 mths for platinum. Did I read it wrong?

    Singapore Airlines transit

    Buy your duty free in SIN. Usually cheaper than Australian duty free shops. They give you a sealed bag which will be acceptable for the gate security.

    Best Annual Multi-Trip Travel Insurance in the new COVID World?

    This is something I've been looking for post Covid. Needing motorcycle coverage (over 250cc) used to be the factor for me between 1cover & TID. Was going to rely on Amex explorer CC travel insurance but there is a few holes in this for me. I did find this which had a different underwriting...

    Will I lose my points if I had to cancel?

    If a change is possible, might be better to grab the seats for another date now, knowing if it all goes pear shaped, you can still get your points & cash back. It did this a few times during snap lockdowns taking a guess when travel would be allowed again before the rush.

    BKK to BNE - Can't book J, only Y

    HI All, Seeing if I can leverage the collective Wisdom. I was trying to book J BKK/BNE for mid Oct but there are no options available. I can book separate tickets BKK/SIN SIN/BKK but not one ticket. I can if I select a Y ticket however. Any ideas? Is this normal?

    Carry-on boarding etiquette

    I'm usually travelling with 2 bags onboard with the hard case above and the backpack at my feet. The FA is saying the flight is full. The FA only put one bag up but do they listen. And my feet/legs are restricted because of the bag under the seat. Maybe the return of the paper tags on the...

    Should Marriott Bonvoy offer status only on spend?

    I think the credit promos where you get 10-15 nights credit really put the non US bonvoy member at a disadvantage. But I haven't heard of a credit that give platinum access yet, but I might be wrong. I get Hilton through Velocity, which I'm still preferring to use Bonvoy most of the time.

    Marriott comes to Canberra.

    I've stayed there a few times recently. I like the spot, the property and it very handy to the civic offices. It is the current preference for my CBR stays I'd recommended the restaurant for breakfast and meals, which is a surprise for me. I normally feel some hotel food options are overpriced...

    Flying Malaysian, Qantas perks, collect BA status?

    Looks like a fault in the calculator displaying this. You have to dig into the T&C. But using EK as a carrier, the calculator works. Maybe the calculator has been **ENHANCED**

    Upgrade with no notification - op-up?

    I've had a few upgrades on QF. Once from BNE-TSV but I got an email about 72 hours out asking if i'd want to upgrade with points. (Form letter). Ignored it. I got an upgrade anyway on a packed flight. I'd say it was oversold and hence the offer. I'm never taking those offers again now... But I...

    HI, Looking to sort out 130 status credits out for Syd before the end of Feb. One day/overnight or a few days is fine. Was looking at the SYD/CHC flight (QF flight number on EK metal) in J for about $1100. Is there a cheaper option? There is a QF sale until thursday which I was trying to...

    Voco Hotels

    Just had a one night stay. Would stay again. Good for both business & leisure stays. The common areas and lobby have all been upgraded but most of the rooms are the same. Today. I've been told by the desk that levels 17-23 refurbished rooms are available from mid-December. Half of my floor was...

    Can I buy my way to Spire Elite

    Hi, I think I'm going to be 7000 - 9000 points shy from Sprite Elite. I could buy these points but I don't think they are qualifying points that count to status. Any ideas? thanks.
