    Hertz Presidents Club or Europcar #1 Club

    I'm doing the twice a week rental as well, although usually I'm booking the Corolla level vehicles. I wonder if moving to Camry level will result in decent upgrades? Will give it another week or so and then will try putting in for a slightly higher rental class on booking.

    A Platinum Flight for $1400

    I could see if you only really have the ability to get to the LOTFAP once every two years, but you want the benefits of WP for the least cost - so you take a hit and a drop to SG this year, then fly to the LOTFAP just after your anniversary date (missing the F Lounge unfortunately on the way...

    Hertz Presidents Club or Europcar #1 Club

    First two rentals after achieving Hertz PC aren't too crash hot: Rented Toyota Corolla Auto Hatch, received Toyota Corolla Auto Hatch Rented Toyota Corolla Auto Hatch, received Nissan Pulsar ST Auto Sedan. Neither of them felt like a guaranteed upgrade at all. Both of these were from a major...

    Early signs you have the Frequent Flyer Bug

    When I was a kid in GLT (and GLT was a much smaller place with an airport that was largely a couple of buildings and an outside area where you walked through a gate in a wire fence to cross the tarmac and board the planes), I would find any reason to go out to the airport - if a family friend...

    Hilton Honors App

    The old app was just a wrapper for the mobile version of the website. Surely you can still browse to the mobile version of the website and see this, right?

    Hilton Q3 Promo

    I've noticed this as well - I'm seeing many dates I need where HSW is hundreds of dollars greater than HOTP. Regrettably, HOTP is likely to get my business.

    QFlink NSW changes including a lounge for Tamworth

    I think you would be an interesting test case. My experience of the TMW ground crew is that they're not really up with the QF status benefits, so you would probably be educating them. Don't be suprised if you get the "but it's a departure lounge, not an arrivals lounge" line. Also, security...

    [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26] was 10April

    Re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April I disagree. It's simpler, has the choice of searching for all flights via the one interface. This is a good thing ultimately for customers as a whole, even if it impacts us that knew how to get value out of...

    [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26] was 10April

    Re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April Because they don't fit in with their new simplified booking system. People understood the old system very badly (outside of this forum).

    Re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April I think you're right here - the fact that they impact us on this board doesn't mean that anyone outside of this (somewhat unusual) group of flyers even noticed. I would imagine that the lack of SCs have to do...

    The ex-QFF benefits list. What do you miss the most?

    Yes, and QF reinstated arrival access for WPs and above after requests.

    Re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April I think this is the trick - and would probably be of best long term benefit.

    The ex-QFF benefits list. What do you miss the most?

    I think the thing I take away from this thread is that the loyalty program game is always changing. There are benefits that come and benefits that go. There have been substantial improvements and some substantial losses over the years with QFF, and sure, I miss some of the stuff from the past...

    The ex-QFF benefits list. What do you miss the most?

    Actually, once QANTAS receives the money from your credit card company you are seen as a liability, not an asset, they have to provide you with a service in the future that they've received the money for now. Hence QANTAS' interest is in limiting the liability of your free flights. So no...

    QFlink NSW changes including a lounge for Tamworth

    I am here now. Unfortunately they only have checkin at the desk an hour before, but I could mobile check in and get the code. The security people have offered to come and get me so that I can go out and check my baggage.
