    AccorPlus China

    Yes, you can stack up to 50 nights through Accor China until 30 September. Two mid tier ones mean you get two stay plus nights (the same) and two 50% discount vouchers (one more than the top tier card), but no ongoing 10% discount. Generally, it'll be a better deal than one high tier one...

    AccorPlus China

    The 31st of September hey?!? That's a new one. ;) I broke down and bought the top tier card as I only needed 30 nights to keep platinum and don't expect to do more than one trip to China over the next year (mainly to burn off the free nights and 50% discount voucher) - although buying two...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Flew VA882 from SYD to MEL. Choices were chicken in black bean sauce or cheese tortellini. Went for the chicken. Beverage was Katnook Estate Founder's Block chardonnay. Top notch service from cabin manager David.

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    Managed to grab ORD-HND in F and HND-SYD in J on NH for ~$3.3k in points and taxes so pretty happy with that. :) (Just have to hope NH operates a 77W with The Suite on the days I'm flying in F now.) I worked out why my earlier bookings were erroring out - in the 'emergency contact' field, I...

    PSA: Qantas Hotels drip pricing

    I just had a play around with that hotel. It seems that the site shows the 2 person rate but the next screen includes the child too, as the correct price is quoted with 2 people.

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    They don't sell wine, but rather dig up deals. I used them to grab several bottles of Chassagne Montrachet from Dans a few weeks back for $60, rather than the $195 Dan's was charging at my local store.

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    Booking on AV's website is a nervewracking experience and not for the faint of heart. However, the lure of NH F overwhelmed my vow of 'never again'. Hoping to subject myself to all this again to book a return flight in a week or so.

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    Welcome to AFF! Yes, I've been burned with phantom availability too! I checked SQ had the inventory I could see on AV before buying the points to minimise the risk of things going wrong.

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    Avianca Lifemiles are back on sale with a 155% bonus (so not the greatest, but not bad either). After being burned buying Lifemiles a couple of years ago, I leapt back in today to book a flight from KIX-HND-ORD in August next year in NH F for $2.7k all in. Had to use the multi-city engine set...

    Qantas to No Longer offer a Points option for Loyalty Bonus

    That's the Loyalty Bonus, not the gift.

    Thank you for your loyalty

    Got a response to my email - no to having it applied in my next membership year, and no exceptions. However, I suspect they interpreted my email as asking for platinum status, so I'll still give them a call in November.

    QF105 2/10/25 no seat selection

    Lots of blocked seats for elites up to row 32. Not many others back from there though and it's looking pretty chockers. Try again at T-80 as 23J and K are still free. :)

    Cashrewards closed with immediate effect

    I only have about 84c in my account, but I wonder what happens to the promotional amounts? I had a couple of $5 bonuses pending from Amazon and Woolies but these seem to have gone, unlike the transactions themselves. EDIT - ah, all good it seems...
