Also they are non commission able mostly, right? Oh also do you use sabre, madrooster?

You’re also in the plat charge thread. Other cards will earn as many points for a fraction of the fee and with higher bonus points to start. Look at the virgin Amex, 12 months gold right now with 150k points or something. For $150 or so? Dunno as I don’t have it, buts that’s likely to be 1/5 to...

Probably your perception is incorrect in the first place. Most people sign up to these things and don’t use the perks and the banks make money. Most people here would book points seats outright, not hoping for upgrades.

Are you sure it’s worldwide? A lot of annual ones are only worldwide if that’s what you select. Or it’s just poor programming. Nib for example is worldwide or”worldwide without Nepal and USA”

Forgot to post my stay at Conrad Bali. Booked 3 base rooms. Upgraded to king ocean suite connecting with king ocean room. and a seperate king ocean suite. Tonnes of room for the family. This hotel looks after return business really well, even the deputy gm went to the shops to get me guava jam...

Especially uni libraries. They are areas for quiet study and “no one” uses books anymore (I.e. the majority of uni library users do not)

Not sure what is reasonable but Westin ebisu is great and hadn’t gone up as much as similar hotels. About 5-10 walk to ebisu station which is in the main Yamanote line.

Yeah; I didn’t think it was obvious there was a decline, but that could definitely have changed. Also not sure it’s correct at all because my wife got an Amex and I would have to check the times, but got declined for a card or 2 recently prior

Anyone here?

Just do a chargeback

Though generally the US doesn’t have an excess, and you need full insurance.

Great! Just note everyone that it’s the Royal at the Waterfront, East Perth rather than the Royal in Perth 😂 Easily confused.

i don't get statements unless there is a transaction. So I got a random statement and was like "whats going on here"

I have a card I’ve never used compromised recently. Sometimes there is no breach. It’s just someone with some semi-random numbers. $1.49 at the Apple Store online. Clearly trying a bunch and seeing what goes through.

Correct. When people refer to Amex platinum they mean “The Platinum Card”

I was there last week, and completely forgot there was this tax. Didn’t see anywhere to pay it. Needs to be in the airfare if they want it to happen.

I’ve needed them on all flights I’ve taken lately. Single/standard jacks on the airlines I fly are pretty rare, including ANA, GA and SQ

If you haven’t typed it into a website, it’s 0.5

I’ve done 45 min SQ even with a late arrival making it 25 and luggage made it too. SIN is a miracle airport. And NRT to HND in 3 is pretty doable but you don’t want any issues. You should be at the bus area within 30 min of arrival, typically. There is an express train that only takes 60...

Same. But in the defence of (one) bank, I got my interest rate reduction email in full about 48 hours ago. (Bankwest)
