It's pretty standard for Amex Offers with "up to X times" wording to work like this.

Yes

Where did you get the 8000 points for SYD-MEL from? Is that possibly their redemption chart? Earning of redeemable miles and status miles by fare bucket is as per the percentages on their website, 25%-150%, but as you've noted only domestic earns SQMs. (And I don't think it's possible to earn...

Mine has not (yet) been reinstated. Did you get any response regarding the general problem?

Last card now received the cashback, but still shows the offer as "active" rather than "redeemed" for some reason.

For those interested, activated VAEFNO offer on three cards, and bought one $300 CG&MGC on each at Myer Melb Bourke St on Friday. * no emails * 1x card showed redeemed yesterday * all 3x transactions posted today * 2x $50 cashbacks posted today, both now shown redeemed (incl one from yesterday)...

I agree, and I feel like I personally am moderately disadvantaged by these changes. (It's moreso status changes than earning/burning changes, because as I said the burn devaluation is not huge and most of my points are not earned in the air.) But I also recognise that in this market they just...

Maybe it's just my bias, where I rely on pooling and judicious selection of cheap J vs expensive Y tickets on occasion in order to hit status targets, but: Are people who redeem significant quantities of Velocity points for long-haul premium travel, actually earning a significant number of those...

Overnight I received an email from Radisson Rewards saying they've reviewed my account and downgraded from Premium to Club. (Obviously the tiers are named differently since the divestment of the US holdings and other changes.) But Amex still lists it as a Platinum benefit, and still lists my...

DOH might not be on SQ's list due to negligible presence of Star partners. Who would fly there? Maybe AI, perhaps LH?

I was very busy in Paris but on the last night I took myself to Ralph's (the restaurant at the Ralph Lauren flagship store in St Germain) late in the evening and because the kitchen was about to close, asked to be seated in the bar. Amex bought me three coughtails and a dessert, all of which were...

I am pleased to report that my Alamo experience in Málaga was very good. The staff were friendly and helpful, pickup and dropoff were simple, they didn't try to jerk me around with any of the existing minor damage, and my deposit was refunded in a timely manner.

I got through to an agent this morning who happily did this: change my existing itinerary MEL-SYD to the reverse SYD-MEL on a different date. Because it was in J there was no fee, just a fare increase. And it was successfully reticketed on the same PNR. So I was hopeful of getting my triple...

Samesies! I am going through en route SIN-xAUH-CDG next week, and with about a week left on my Velocity Platinum before I soft-land to Gold. So (barring a last-minute equipment swap) I'll get to sample the 35K business seat, the 781 business seat, and the AUH First Lounge.

Almost always my rentals in the US are Alamo (or its sister company National), and I find them simple and painless. And at most decent-sized locations you can choose your own car from the row. They're not always an option elsewhere in the world but my upcoming rental in Málaga is Alamo (through...

I don't suppose there is a way to change a booking to reverse the itinerary, while keeping the PNR? I no longer need a MEL-SYD but will need a SYD-MEL in a few weeks, and would love to keep the 3x status credits. I haven't been targeted for the newer promo.

Thanks, @mel-world and @Human: At T-96h I started to get a message that I could no longer change my seat except at OLCI, but after a long hold on the phone the agent let me trade my window 14A for a centre bulkhead in the minicabin behind F, 11F.

Yeah, I got similar from the link at OzBargain. It just sounded like earlier in the chat people may have found more legit "public" links in the last couple of days.

Might you be able to share a link if that works, please, @SYD? It haven't been fed this ad, the standard Facebook page for VFF doesn't list it, and my invite email was only double points but I would much prefer the double SCs.

Looking for guidance on the current position in KrisFlyer for: When might blocked bulkhead seats open up for a MEL-SIN flight (for J, if it matters)? T-24h, T-48h, ...? I want to plan to go online right on the minute and see if I can get one. I have a backup itinerary a couple of days after my...
