I feel that QR have not released any availability to and from Australia past 26th of June. I've been checking for a return flight in mid-July every day since the dates have opened up on QR PC and have not seen anything. Flights from Europe have wide availability but nothing from Doha. I'm...

As OWS you'll be able to access the Qatar Gold Lounge - South or the Platinum and Gold Lounge - North. See the following link https://www.qatarairways.com/en-au/lounges/worldwide.html. I recommend the combined Gold / Plat one in the north wing, food was excellent, to be honest it is not too far...

I’m surprised they are implementing the fee to current cardholders, at least the fee is not massive. I’ll still keep the card for the price protection as I haven’t hit the $20k lifetime limit but this card is definitely getting the chop whenever that happens.

Had the same issue on my wife's account, could not book any hotels and tried various cards including mine which worked 5 mins later when booking a stay on my account. Haven't bothered to see what's causing the issue but would be good to know, from what I can see a bunch of people on Ozb had...

$7.5k within 2 months is hefty, I can see they've also caught on and excluded PayAll from eligible payments.

Qantas Hotels is pretty much a front for Expedia, most of the time the prices will be identical between the two but sometimes they do not match. I've checked a few hotels that I recently booked and two had identical pricing but one was about 10% higher on Q Hotels. Expedia offers member pricing...

Yeah, but 5/8 2025.

Points usually take six weeks to come in, so I'll treat the first one as a test and if they don't post then I'll just cancel the remaining two bookings. Promo ends in six days but the T&C's say they can be for travel by 5 August 2025.

Made one booking for tonight at the SPOT ON 92799 Tanjung Indah Homestay Syariah, $3.37. Let's see how this goes, might book the other two nights in six weeks time to see if the points actually come in.

We were allowed to check our bags through from a Dom revenue booking with QF onto an international reward with QF connecting to AY. The agent indicated they can only do it between QF and EK only, which stacks up with what @Warragul linked above, YMMV though depending on the agent. As mentioned...

The middle seats are already able to be combined into suites in one form or another, to me this is more of an evolution of the current seat rather than a whole new groundbreaking product. I'm not knocking it, it's one of the best products in the sky and it's good to see that they're investing...

Nothing groundbreaking imo, the ability to convert two window seats into a suite is a welcome addition if flying with someone that you want to chat to but are not keen on sharing the double bed with.

100% is almost as good as you're going to get. The last time they had a 125% was in November last year which was a mystery bonus of 100% or more, however not many received a bonus over 100%.

How would you compare travel with the little one at 6 months vs 12 or 18 months? We have flown long haul when the bub was 3 and 6 months and it was all fairly chill. Now we have a couple trips planned when she will be 14 and 19 months which I assume will be bit more challenging as she is...

I just booked a hotel in Osaka through luxury escapes, it has free cancellation but the entire amount was prepaid already, does the credit still post a few days after the transaction or only after the stay?

Points ended up posting 24 hours after the purchase, just in time to book 2x SQ J PER - NGO. I assume the reason why the points were not instant is that I used my card to top up the other half’s Aeroplan account.

Purchased points but it's been over 2 hours and they still haven't posted. Fingers crossed that it doesn't take too long.

Qatar PC has been my main focus lately, most of the points are coming from my Citi at the moment. 1. Qatar Privilege Club - from travel, Citi Prestige, BA Avios sub 2. Velocity - Flybuys, insurance, everyday spend 3. Aeroplan - buy miles

Yeah this happened to me, account was blocked out of nowhere. It took me at least 3 months for them to reply to me, all I got told is that the account was flagged and I need to verify my identity. Very annoying and imo a bit ridiculous, you can’t even make a new account as they will block any...

I’ve had good results booking SQ J with aeroplan one year out or so, I like that their taxes are quite low compared to let’s say Velocity. Do you use any tools for LifeMiles availability? Every time I tried using their calendar I could not find anything.
