I have a bunch of new offers on my Plat this morning - some similar to last week's hotel deals, some new ones. Eg: United $1k/$200 Avis $250/$50 Hilton/Marriott $400/$80 Also 5x Amex bonus points up to 2,500 points

Anyone got any tips for an easy/easier flight offset? My review date is 30 June and the only flights I have booked at the moment are international for 3pax so would cost ~25k pts to offset. Don't suppose the offset a random flight thing still works (did it ever)?

I have now had a look on wayback machine for about 6 months and can't see that it was mentioned previously, so fingers crossed it is still ok!

But there doesn't seem to be any mention of it on the HSBC page once you click through from AC. Not sure if there was before? Given they (HSBC) are the ones actually providing the financial product, I am a bit concerned, as was planning on applying in the next week or so.

YR (bottom left) is also ~$500 different. Edit: actually both numbers are exactly $511.20 different. Not sure of the significance here.

I got told by VA 30 days from the statement which shows the bonus points from the issuer.

Might be more of a fight club situation given it is not supposed to apply to Aus cardholders anyway.

I also have new Temple & Webster, Ergoflex and Adidas offers on my Plat today (nothing to write home about sadly).

You can get kicked ooot of the country for saying that, eh.

I am looking at something similar, but from reading this thread I believe if you go through AC/Aeroplan (and keep the card open and pay annual fee again next year) you get 50K/*G status to the end of the calendar year in which your status expires - so should be end of 2025?

Anyone who did this, is your Hertz account actually showing the new status yet? I did it more than 72 hours ago and status hasn't changed from normal 5 star.

Damn I was probably lucky I didn't get arrested in the US about 18 months ago! I returned a Hertz car (on time) to a hotel/convention centre parking lot in Orlando where they had a rental counter and did a key drop as counter was closed that day before flying up to DC. Then noticed the next...

UA also flys SYD<->IAH, but it is seasonal and finishes in late March so you may be able to just catch it there? Gets you closer to the east coast and a ~2.5hr flight in Y is a lot better than a ~5hr one IMHO if it comes to that.

I am PC and got double points as well.

Assuming this is as simple as it sounds, anyone got the US link?

Does anyone have experience with booking the free flight and then cancelling the card prior to the flight?

If you have no luck on the phone, you could try contacting QF via their Facebook Messenger chat. Once you manage to bypass the bot, they are quite helpful (albeit somewhat slow due to timezone differences - they seem to be South Africa-based). I am NB but managed to get SYD-CBR flights added...

That is a Seats.Aero search. You will need a paid account to search more than 3 months out.

Assume those would be the new CR+ which are supposed to be released today? Edit: actually may have been a CR dump as well??

Looks like a VS benefit (see here). For Amex Plat you don't get passes, you just show your boarding pass and card.
