This is true regardless of any program you are looking at. The Delta changes are more about altering the level of high status flyers and lounge access: - There were previously much lower thresholds to earn status through credit card spend. This combined with "rollover MQMs" (which meant you...

This was posted by someone in a thread in the Diners Club forum: Just received this for the Linked Diners Card for Citi We want to let you know we will no longer offer the Linked Diners Club® Card from 16 October 2023, and as a result we will be closing your Linked Diners Club Card(s) on...

I think the reason for the high ratio is: - When you choose points, the airline division presumably has to pay the loyalty division for the internal transfer price of those points - When you choose SC, there is no accounting entry in QF's books

That does seem like another nail in the Diners coffin, to go with them no longer offering new personal card applications. If they are choosing to stop that volume of transactions going through the Diners network, it doesn't say much for the value they get from it. They are probably assessing...

That's marked in my calendar for the day I can redeem my 380,000 Ansett Global Rewards points...

Not sure what qualifies as rare, but before the went bust, I flew Royal Tongan Airlines from Apia in Samoa to Nukualofa in Tonga on a Hawker Sidley HS-748. According to Wikipedia, only 12 remain in commercial service. The whole in-flight experience felt like flying in the 1950's.

So to summarise: - A $450 annual fee, while waived in the first year, doesn't get you any additional benefits like flight credits. The complimentary travel insurance and other benefits you can get with fee free HSBC cards like the Premier card. - 3% foreign transaction fee means it does not...

This is now the equivalent of those "share your opinion for a chance to win a $300 gift card" nonsense offers. You will only get something of value from me if you give me something valuable in return.

This thread - CBA adds JAL, United and other airline transfer partners? - indicates they were a partner, removed, came back and removed again.

Mixed reports as to whether the Commonwealth Bank Ultimate Awards card can transfer to JAL, when it is possible it appears to be at appalling rates.

I suspect this was only a matter of time given the DL and AFKL linkages. I wonder why this thread was moved out of the "Airline Aliiances" forum, but threads like "Alaska Airlines joining Oneworld" "Oman Air planning to join Oneworld in 2024" "Royal Air Maroc to join OneWorld? [CONFIRMED]" stay...

I think it's also because the nature of the programs has changed. As they have become finely honed shopping loyalty and customer behaviour analysis programs where flying is almost an afterthought, many of the true 'hacks' which arose because those running the programs were still trying to work...

I think it is quite quick from memory if not instantaneous. Once you link the HSBC accounts from the country where you initially qualified (through the "Global View" "Add or Remove A Country" links in Online Banking), you can see them all on your login.

Recently flew this sector in Premium Economy one way and Business the other. The seats are fine, the food is definitely nothing to write home about. My main issue this that it is on a 777 rather than a 380/787/350, which to me means it is noisier and more likely to cause jet lag,.

The title of the article should really be "How Virgin Subtly Avoids Making International Flyers Loyal To Velocity"

I'd be interested to know what the average profile of a Diners Club user is and whether it would even make sense for NAB to breathe new life into it. Since the demise of Ansett, Diners has been dying a death of a thousand acceptance cuts, other than the big chains almost no one accepts them...

Whether SCL or EZE, most people will be transiting to another destination in South America. Especially now that LAN Argentina is no more, SCL is so much more practical for that. Still, it is odd that QF seems to offer LAN codeshares to smaller cities in Brazil like Florianopolis but not to...
