    ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

    Yeah it filters out the OzBargain type folk who only sign up during the half price membership offers for the sole purpose of using the free night at a premium hotel.

    Woolworths gift card thread

    To save 14 minutes of your time: - Simon got his money back - TCN has now put a Captcha on the webpage which previously allowed you to hack PIN numbers - Simon thinks gift cards are a Ponzi scheme, as in they keep running points promos just to keep the cash coming in.

    Qantas Travel Insurance - so uncompetitive

    I can't say that I associate anything with a Qantas brand on it as being price competitive.

    New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

    I'm surprised you didn't get moved to the direct CHC-MEL service

    ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

    My guess is that your bonus nights are due to automatically appear on 1 Oct being the first day of your membership year. The customer service team are unable to manually credit the nights so they came up with an excuse about Accor China. I don't know why they didn't just use the excuse that your...

    AFF Point Valuations

    The real world value of 1 Citi point is 0.5 cents. My Premier card converts 1 Citi point to 1 Flybuys point which is 0.5 cents of groceries. It's close enough to cash. Points can be converted to cashback but the rate is bad. Of course you can get a better hypothetical conversion rate by...

    Article: Why Airports Reveal Gate Numbers at the Last Minute

    I don't think it works that well for Jetstar passengers at MEL T4 because everyone knows where the Jetstar gates are and that there is a very long walk ahead so one shouldn't leave it too late to get there.

    The Qantas Status Run Master Thread

    Sydney-Townsville return in J for $1,002 gets you 240 SC. Not bad at all. Do it 6 times for platinum.

    ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

    I hope you are right. It will be easy for them to say that since you have been upgraded to Accor+ Explorer then the new rules now apply to you. Edit: The lack of formal communications addressing this issue is interesting. Is it an an oversight, is it because they do in fact intend to apply the...

    New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

    I think the time has come for me to abandon the dream of a lifetime of ham & cheese toasties prior to boarding overpriced flights. Let's see how much money I save by being a free agent.

    Exclusion towards lifetime status - I didn't see this one coming. It's an effective way of changing the goalposts without changing the goalposts.

    JQ 18 MEL-SYD

    From my experience if you have the tax invoice I believe that anything under $200 is automatically approved. If you go above that then it needs to go to a supervisor. I got the cash within a few days.

    Forced Landside Transit Manila international airport- Visa?

    Cathay? Then you'll be in Terminal 3. From inside the terminal walk across the bridge over the highway. There is a shopping centre and a casino at the other end.

    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    Well Qantas got some better slots as the :eek: timings for BNE-MNL are gone. From late October the new arrival / departure times are 20.20 / 21.45.

    Hopefully they remove it from the exceptions list so you can do that.

    ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

    I've read the website and nothing in there says that they will hand out 10 nights in October to existing members. All it says is that members will be upgraded to Gold. Unclear if they will hand out 10 nights to everyone or only to Silver members.
