I do wonder if the sale of the hotel was related to this - it coincides, and it could have come with agreements that the Hotel's bottom line be improved - and the cost of breakfast in Glass for all Gold/Diamond members could have been looked at. However, it's going to be an absolute battle in...

So they're moving to big data, and that's a good thing.

He blocked me on Twitter for asking him what he expected SQ to do. :)

I'm thinking that the overseas credit card with a no currency conversion fees might be the best option.

My MR Ascent Account is still showing 1:1 transfers in my account. Hope it stays that way.

This sounds awesome!

91, and the road warrior is me. But I think in all seriousness this poll is more fun in that it is an insight into the mind of TonyHancock. :)

Can I clarify this? A while ago I was looking at this and thought that even after you have elite status with AA (say, AA Platinum) you get the minimum mileage applied to Redeemable Miles but not to your Elite Qualifying Miles or Elite Qualifying points. Therefore if you were AA Platinum and flew...

Agreed. This is the fun of the game. Rules keep changing, we keep rolling with the changes. The fun here is the community that does share information.

The difficulty that I'm trying to clear up at the moment is the following: I'm concerned that BA might eventually deem me as "resident" in Australia and would then would strip me of my membership. It's not clear what their definition of "resident country" is, only that there definition of...

Exactly. The whole thing about people trying to define what a frequent flyer is ridiculous. People will naturally choose a definition that includes what they do, but will exclude people that do something other than what they do. Remember the "Hi Viz in the Business Lounge" thread? The reality...

I think in a number of cases there's the direct spend and there is the influencing effect. Enthusiast like those on this board tend to influence other people, which is why the airlines are willing to involve us in special events, and they support events that Frequent Flyer enthusiasts put on...

Intriguing - it seems that BAEC Gold is equally easy to game from YUP runs in the US (4 BA flights notwithstanding) - I could see a path to BAEC Gold in 4 days and about AUD3000 (albeit very long days of flying!) with only 5 minutes of searching. I'm still seeing value for me in AAdvantage, but...

I've never had that amazing upgrades with the PC program. Usually it's from a Corolla to a i30/Elantra or similar. Rarely above that. I haven't received my pack, but I'm a little worried about there not being any mention of the guarantee availability of vehicles for PC. I might start looking...

I'd be really interested in your reasoning, Princess Fiona - what about the program would work well with your flying? I realise that there aren't many people that could achieve AA EXP on domestic travel mostly, but that's what I will achieve (100 EQ segments), so AA is good for me (apart from...

Given the previous thread (http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/us-airways-dividend-miles/us-dividend-miles-post-your-33057.html) is for bookings in Star Alliance, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to archive that thread and start a new sticky on 31st March where we post...

I am glad this is still going - I had started to think that Island Dining was over!

Ah, that's awesome, thank you!
