    Unfortunately not - you need to check out by the end of the promo (30th September) in order to get the promo.

    Amex platinum Charge annual fee increase

    I wonder if they'll also put up the affinity Platinum charge cards too, like the AMA Platinum Charge. I wonder if it'll stay $200 below the standard fee (i.e. $1000).

    Q Bag Tag - do you Carry on?

    If you wonder who cares, you may not understand the complete obsession many of us have with every single aspect of flying.

    Qantas First Lounge in Auckland?

    Just went through the QF AKL F Lounge last weekend. It is still the same - no changes. There is only one EK lounge, no divisions between F and J.

    Drinks & Dinner SYD Saturday 24 August

    Let me know - I'm getting into SYD at 2:30pm - +1 has their heart set on Vietnamese in Cabramatta tonight, so I'm not sure I'm going to make it, but I will keep on trying. Will try to let you know by mid-afternoon. I'm sorry about this!

    Xmas Fesitivities 2013 (A non AFF event)

    I'm still trying to decide if I can commit to it. I've been to many of the past events, and I would dearly love to go to this one, but I just can't be sure yet. I admit that the super special secret event has me intrigued - my mind is working overtime coming up with the possibilities!

    Drinks & Dinner SYD Saturday 24 August

    I'll float this with the +1 - I will be in town this weekend, arriving Saturday morning (and leaving Sunday evening again). I'd love to join for drinks or whatever is happening, but will confirm shortly.

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    If you're reaching on points but not nights or stays, then you're probably one of the bigger spending people in the Hilton Diamond crowd, and I can imagine you would have a higher commercial value ranking than many other low cost Diamonds (say, people that stay in cheap Hampton Inns in the USA...

    All Qantaslink flights to depart SYD T3 from August 15th 2013

    My flight in on QF2001 on Saturday was also arriving on time, but delayed over 20 minutes owing to the new arrangement in T3. I really hope this doesn't slow things down. If it happens again I might leave formal feedback with QANTAS about it.

    I have three days at HSP in December. I'm starting to wonder whether I will regret this.

    Change in Platinum Card Travel Insurance?

    In my experience, unless you have pre-exisiting conditions, this is still one of the best travel insurance policies out there. Still covers more than most policies.

    All Qantaslink flights to depart SYD T3 from August 15th 2013

    My experience is that QFLink have the Q Bag Tag Scanners, they just don't use them at check-in. You can ask for them to use them, but they seem to want to avoid using them. Which is a pain as they don't get Business tags when you are WP and you check in at a QFLink location - the best you can...

    All Qantaslink flights to depart SYD T3 from August 15th 2013

    * The shuffle from T2 -> T3 (or T2 -> T3 -> bus to T1) was frustrating. If you fly regional NSW to other capitals it was annoying to have to clear customs again. * No Domestic J Lounge in T2. Even then, the T3 QP was much nicer than the T2 QP. * Having to land and catch buses to the baggage...

    Hertz Presidents Club or Europcar #1 Club

    Experiences with Hertz President's Club have been better after the first mis-steps: booked Premium Car (Holden SV6), got premium cars (SV6) but went to chat to them, and they gave me a Mini Cooper. booked CCAR (Corolla), got Hyundai i40. booked CCAR, got Toyota Camry Altima. Overall, I'm not...

    Two Same night bookings at HOP and HSW under my name Elite bennies for both?

    Re: How do Hilton treat you as an Elite? Now, here's a question I need to know - if you book two hotels on the same night, will they be two separate stays and nights under the HHonors program?

    Elite treatment at Hilton Surfers Paradise

    Re: How do Hilton treat you as an Elite? I would suggest via feedback that this is pretty poor form at HSP if this happened to me.

    QFlink NSW changes including a lounge for Tamworth

    I don't know why that sign is still up - the Wi-Fi has been in place for almost two weeks now. The SSID is "QANTAS-Lounge", I think.
