I'm sure it is buried in here somewhere but I couldn't find it. What is the conversiopn to SPG with this Citi Select Card?

Good for you but maybe tell us what you actually get for it - or do I need to use the secret handshake??

If you dont mind me asking what does the Centurion Card cost? and what additional benefits do you get. I am in roughly the same boat as you. I have a Business Platinum at 1:1.5 but only to $250k and a personal to $100k before both fall back to 1:1 if I recall correctly so looking for other...

Pardon my ignorance but I'm trying to work out the SPG conversion as that is still the only way to move Aussie points to AA right? An earlier post suggested that it was 0.66 SPG points per $1 on the Citibank card. I just signed up for an Amex Plat Business card. Would I be right in my...

Hey thanks that solution worked for me in the end!!

Just rang and said some of "my colleagues" had received an offer of 10k free points and could I please have it too.

I suggest you call and ask if you haven't already. I just rang and they gave it to me. I have Personal Amx Plat Credit Card, Gold Business Charge and Gold Business Credit Card. Spend is probabyl inthe orde rof $100k per annum across all card holders. Thanks for the heads up OP

Update - I submitted a formal complaint to the banking ombudsman on the rates they used for ZAR in my case. The customer service department called me from Amex and showed me an area on the oanda.com webiste (which is apparently the site they use for forex rates) for the day in question which...

Serfty - yep AA flight #'s on the transcons for the EVIP upgrade chances. I cross posted this issue here: Route Check Please - FlyerTalk Forums Not sure if I'm supposed to reference FT here but most of the answers/discussion today is there for those interested and so probably should close...

Spoke to the RTW dek - apparently there is a YQ tax (Fuel levies) of $645NZD on the ticket. This is indeed an alarming development if AA are now adding these and at these levels. Especially since QF just dropped the domestic fuel charges and you'd have to think others would be dropped on...

Hi Guys, Just finished booking an LONE4 with the AA RTW desk and ticketing on AA stock as follows: AKL-xMEL-PER-xHKG-SEL,HKG-xNRT-DFW-SEA-DFW-xLAX-xLHR-xHEL-xHKG-PER,MEL-AKL They priced taxes at $1078NZD which seems way on the steep side to me for AA. Anyone think there is an error here or...

Thanks for info. Already an SPG member. What sort of certificates etc do they give? The website is pretty limited and I've found a couple of resellers who seem to have varying numbers of 50% off, upgrade certs etc. Also found this org that has a 20% discount so I imagine they have some...

Guys, Thinking of joining the Starwood Privilege program (mostly for the buy one get one free meals) due to an upcoming family trip with lots of SPG bookings. Can anyone suggest the price and types of things I should be angling for getting if I contact them directly. I gather each hotel can...

Here's a question? I've just noticed that I am getting the bonus points credited immediately on my Gold Amex Business charge card (linked to my personal account) but I am not getting the bonus points on my Platinum Amex Credit Card. Even though both cards use the same ascent account. Have I...

Well an update on my situation. I have received a written response from Amex. In nit they include the same line as the Singapore poster has in his T&C"s "Unless a specific rate was required by law, the American Express treasury system has used conversion rates based on interbank rates...

"The AMEX of Evil" comes to mind. Well I for one represent about a $150k spend per year through Amex. I'm sure I'm not the biggest spender by any stretch on this forum. What if we drafted a group letter to Amex demanding an answer to how these rates are being calculated, threatening a...

Shouldn't matter really as OANDA spot (interbank) rates on 11/01/08 give: 52140 ZAR ---> 7912.73 AUD or 52140 ZAR --> 5246.33 USD ---> 7912.73 AUD Above is assuming of course that both conversion occurred on the same day. However for reference I did do the ZAR to USD on the 10/30/08 and the...

I am really disturbed to find these responses and everyone with the same issue. Anecdotally I was told by the first Amex CS guy today that it looks like they will refund $394 to me but when he looked he could see that it has yet to be approved by the "forex section". Repeated requests to talk to...

Just a heads up that I am currently in dispute with Amex on a ZAR to AUD foreign currency transaction for a OW DONE4 RTW ticket purchased during the recent drop in the South African currency. Amex have made an error of in excess of $350 in the exchange rate. Transaction was for 52140ZAR...

Correct - since 500 mile upgrades were already viewable (originally on the main page) the inside running is that the EVIp's are going to appear on this page as well.
