    QF New Zealand Fly Away Sale

    I also spoke to the call centre(?) staff on a cancellation and rebook of flight by Qantas, as the link to online change was not booking. I spent 4 hours waiting on the line but at least the call was not cut off as with some other businesses. May be II had been lucky in a sense I would have...

    Aus. Financial Review benefit gone. (Replaced with The Australian)

    May be Amex is actually selling the membership database to Murdoch for some extra revenue?! 🤪

    Aus. Financial Review benefit gone. (Replaced with The Australian)

    I really think the Amex cardholder community, let alone Charge Card holders, expects, prefers, and deserves something better?! I have a feeling that I am being thrown something saying hey it’s free and you should be happy. No, I don’t want to be treated like that and I have my minimum...

    Plaza Premium to control 13 new lounges (including Christchurch and Queenstown)

    I read somewhere a month or so ago PP membership will no longer be able to access Plaza Premium Lounge (probably from mid 2021 onwards?). However, Amex Platinum Charge Card members are not affected bybthis change.

    New Amex Shop Small program - earn 3 bonus points per $1 year-round

    True, but I also came across a situation (in Sydney) that the shop (a restaurant) put up a sign stating Amex not accepted but then the ApplePay went through. We (the cashier and I) did not dig deep but the general understanding is that there was a merchant agreement with Amex (so it is on the...

    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    May be simply a system glitch - I had that experience a few days back (in the evening) but then successfully had a confirmation on my stay plus free night booking (in Brisbane) the next day. It was only in the last few days. Good luck with your booking.

    Checked again for the new dates. Unfortunately the same result "... Stay Plus complimentary night is not available..."

    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    Just checked for you but unfortunately do not have good news for you. "xx_, your Stay Plus complimentary night is not available for this search criteria. Enjoy your exclusive member rate." Perhaps some other fellow AFFs can help and double check?!

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    Definitely not insider information but on the cards I hold (Charge, Reserve, Edge, Gold), the primary card is always x1xx_, and additional cards are x2aaa, z3bbb and so on. However, it would be even better if that’s not definitive at all (in view of the Virgin lounge discussion)

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    The last 5 digits of the card can tell, if they really want to enforce the rule

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    I never tried but am also aware of additional card members being admitted with no issue. However, please keep this low profile as in the eyes of Virgin and Amex, this is a loophole to be closed.

    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    I would love to help but my membership year ends August so won’t have a free night credit available on those dates (until the new membership year) to rest it out. My free night credit has to be used before end of August so a bit of a challenge at the moment. I hope other fellow AFFs having a...

    Perth / Albany /Margaret River

    I came across this one on the web https://www.viator.com/tours/Perth/4-Day-Tour-from-Perth-Including-Margaret-River-Valley-of-the-Giants-Tree-Top-Walk-Albany-and-Wave-Rock/d389-31154SWE but probably it won't allow you the time and "freedom" for your treasure hunting re winery visits?! More...

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    This made me so jealous... 😰🤪

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Congratulations! Just wondering if you are a “heavy” user of their various benefits, not limiting to statement credits?! I have this question in mind as I noticed Amex did a good job in tracking and reporting the total “savings” realised in your card account. So it would not be too difficult...

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    Perhaps Amex has engaged some PR experts to actively manage our expectation :oops: Don't get offended - just having fun... 😜

    New Amex statement credits

    Delicious month credits showed up on the “saving” summary of the online dashboard for quite sometime but actual credit not reflected in transaction details (not even pending) for a few days already

    Qantas to fast track airline loyalty program status

    The Amex Qantas Ultimate offer is really interesting. Could you please provide more information or a link? I have searched the Amex card offering page and could not see the offer (and detailed T&Cs). Thank you in advance. Update: Got the details on the card promotion page of Qantas frequent...
