+1 to that, the 'base' couldn't have been much lower!

Despite being WP for years I never realised this. Thanks @oz_mark ! I guess the lesson is not travel *on* the status assessment day (for requal) but seems mostly unavoidable when first qualifying. Only option there is to qualify as close to the required SC and not 'over qualify', eg. Not take a...

How are you at fixing radar equipment? (...being SYD based)

24 posts and counting... if experienced and interested frequent flyers can't sort this out then what hope does the public have in the face of contrary advice from QF ?!? @Rebekkap i hope QF accepts it could have provided better advice and gives your Aunt a comp this time...but i don't like her...

That is no way to enjoy your public holiday in CBR. I particularly noted that you saw two ther flights leave bound for SYD. I sure hope there were no seats empty on them while pax from your flight languished in CBR.

Hi @Rebekkap - your post is a bit hard to follow as you seem to have used the terms 'points', 'status credits' and 'eligible sectors' somewhat interchangeably. FF points are earned on most flights (some exclusions) at the rate of 1 point per mile flown. Status Credits (SC) are earned on...

If you're all happy for a CBR interloper to join, I have a trip to BNE planned that will coincide. I'd normally stay at Sofitel, so only a short stroll from Hilton. Noting my erratic travel schedule which could change up to the day itself, put me down as Gold.

Good marketing opportunity for non-customers. CBA can play ads on the machine while the 'other bank' customer waits for cash. Then there's the other data collected ... again on potential customers. Its little wonder the other banks jumped onboard so quickly.

Prob a mechanical issue in the mouse. New one prob best. They're cheap, don't pay more than $25.

Had the Thai green curry (very mild bordering on bland) again today CBR-BNE. But what really caught my eye was the 'soy chocolate ganache' which the packaging claimed was free of eggs, dairy, gluten, lactose, nuts and vegan... all bases covered. They missed one, it was free of taste as well ;)

I enjoy learning from and contributing to AFF. I *am* a fan of the new website and (like others here) previously used the app almost exclusively. I read here in this thread @Cossie cancelled their subscription renewal, leading to: I'm not directing this at any one in particular, just giving...

Would 120,000 pts buy an ASA that earns 70 SC ? That way you get to retain, and a trip for the points. Of course time/availability might be an issue. The main benefit of retain is lower threshold for next year vs needing to reach the attain again.

Plenty of references in the various threads "How does [hotel group] treat you as an elite", but useful to have a single source like this.

@Buzzard those VA wine cards are in every Virgin magazine. Its a carp deal, $100 (max) case of wine masquerading as a $250 case and they off $100 discount. Also, you usually have to sign-up for the wine club and cancel before the next lot are shipped at the non-'discounted' rate.

Paging @kpc to the thread... @kpc to the thread please.

I doubt ORC for the trip and DSC has no chance. After refund there is nothing to justify awarding SC and I hope QF doesn't start handing out status on "intent to travel" alone. Can I book a J-flex to LHR, cancel, get a full refund and claim ORC ?

+1 to Daver6 comment re importing, and anything that can be done to simplify transition from other software if frequent flyers will engage. @EmileVictor your name was familiar, I think I did some beta testing for pitot.io a few years ago and still follow your twitter.

Been following this due to my Irish links. There is another story that Norwegian Air Shuttle has boasted poaching 140 FR pilots in the last two months. Potentially linked ?

Wilco. Out.
