Agree. Very common. I always test run with one seat to find route and pricing, then go to two seats to validate availability at that pricing.

Technically yes, you loose the priority boarding if on different tickets. In Practice - you never do. I have done this for years with myself and my partner. Lounge access is different, you are a guest of your partner either way (same or different tickets). So once again no issues

It not clear to me that the x20 applies to anything but the Apple Cards…… the x20 is surrounded by Apple logos to to left and above…… the t+c below the x20 does not say what cards are included, so I will be interested to see if it does apply to Visa pre-paid etc….

I called twice before being billed and they said no to discount both times. Rang straight after being billed and got $350 back. Note, I did not say I was going to cancel, just the cost was too much for the benefits and I discussed what benefits were of no value to me and they gave me the...

Yes agree, always fixed in a flash….. but you do have to wait in line to get to the check-in counter…… if you are like me who will only travel with hand luggage (domestic or international), that is one line I like to avoid and go straight to the lounge. I also don’t like the idea that my seat...

The airlines always tend to overcome these specific issues, but the mildly annoying thing for me is when you book using your FF number and the system populates with your FF details (which are locked), then you are asked for your passport details in APIS (Advance Passenger Information), which are...

Just put your first name. In my experience, that is the most accepted version for when you are doing international booking on other airlines. Qantas, continues to have middle initial on many early accounts (like mine) but that has not caused any confusion to date for me, but it is not what is...

My understanding is that when an upgrade slot(s) is released, the system will process all requests in terms of your priority order at the time of processing. So if the slot is released before you hit platinum, you will be gold in the process order, if the slot is released after you have reached...

Two business classic rewards limitation is very standard. You will rarely find more. No issues with bringing in 2 guests on the same flight as you - they will be granted access on the basis you are a business class passenger (status not required). Changing seats mid flight….. not technically...

Agree 100%. Buy your insurance as soon as you pay for your first tickets. Your 12 months time limit won't start until your first trip, but the policy (pre-trip clauses) start as soon as you pay for the insurance. Insolvency is one clause I have been able to use pre-trip to get my ticket money...

Came through straight away. Day of, or day after settlement for me.

The two biggest to have a look at are Amex Platinum Charge Card and the Citi Prestige Card. Both have travel insurance and international lounge access akin to Diners. Key difference for Australian Domestic travels is Amex Platinum gives you Virgin Lounge access (so not airline agnostic) and Citi...

I maintain a spreadsheet with all my point accounts and what action my next of kin should take (it is filed with my Will). This is what I have recorded for my Amex Account:

A slight tangent to the thread, but I forgot my whole bag after putting it on the conveyor…… I just walked off…… it wasn’t for about five minutes afterwards that I realised I had to pick it up after scanning…….. unfortunately for me I was also totally unaware of the requirements (1990 and it was...

Is it still true that you can't book online? I understand you can't book direct, but it looks like you can make a booking through some agents eg Agoda seams to be selling Bonza seats?

I had a NAB when I applied for Citi (after NAB had acquired Citi). No issues for me other than keeping track of what to use for what purchases :)

Definitely complex arguments being tabled here, but we can also simplify the change....... - Singapore Airlines no longer wants to accept our Amex Cash (aka points) so they have priced themselves out of the market - Hawaiian and Qatar have said, yes, we are in and willing to accept your Amex...

..... a key reason for SQ flyers (like me) to warehouse in Amex is the auto expiry of points in SQ. While I acknowledge the "devaluation" argument here, for me changes like these have just reset my game plan and focus on the next window of opportunity: Amex for warehousing QR, QF, VA, CX. Citi...

Citi Prestige I believe is still a good option for SQ. I believe it is still a 2.5 conversion rate and when you add to earn rates of x3 (for travel etc) you can still achieve a 1:1 outcome.

Not sure if this is a new clause or not, but T+C's currently says, "Limit of one reward per individual per Membership Year". So if you got one earlier in the membership year (from a previous year earn), it appears, you cannot get is again. Is this a new clause that has been added?
