Any recs among these lunch options for SQ0238 next Monday? The ones that sound like they might be appealing are: BTC: Barramundi and Fried Rice Barramundi in black bean sauce with baby bok choy and fried rice Grilled Beef in Green Peppercorn Sauce Chargrilled beef fillet in green peppercorn...

I will be departing next Monday on SQ0238 (09:05 departure). I will be in J, and I have Star Gold (through AC 50K) as well as Velocity Plat. I also have Amex Platinum and Priority Pass. The SilverKris Lounge has been pretty ordinary in the past, and that was in the afternoon; I suspect their...

I didn't, but I had a look at the fine print on the website and I think the answer is no. Any change of class forces a separate award. The call centre might be able to put them into a single itinerary to protect connections though.

I asked about this as part of trying to open the NAB Rewards Signature a few weeks back. As yet no such migration path exists.

Any recommendations for the current Oneworld options before a ~22:00 departure (in JL F to HND)? I will arrive ~18:00 in QR F from DOH. This would be in early August. I think the QR lounge will be open for an hour or two after I arrive, and that's probably the best, but what about after they...

Sorry, forgot to update: Mine finally arrived a few days ago.

Also, in my experience as recently as a few months ago, an AAdvantage phone agent could see and book QR J space that showed on Velocity's website but not AAdvantage's. But that may have changed.

I have flown QSuites: on a Cathay award, with no Oneworld status at the time on a cash ticket, with Velocity Gold linked I have upcoming QSuites bookings: on an American award, with no Oneworld status on a Velocity award, as Velocity Platinum I have been able to select a seat for free in all...

I have an upcoming Saver booking MEL-SIN on SQ0238 in J, followed by a six-hour layover before a separate onward J award itinerary on EY SIN-xAUH-ZRH. I don't expect the SATS Lounge to be too impressive (even the T3 SKL was really underwhelming a couple of years ago) so I figure I'll store my...

Yes, but they wouldn't approve me for the Rewards Signature even when I was going to close the Coles Rewards at the same credit limit and have a salary way above their guidelines. When I went into a branch to ask for a reconsideration the agent seemed genuinely surprised it wasn't approved.

Does it correlate to actual "mobile wallet" transactions? Apple/Google/Samsung Pay? Because for me that was what was happening and I started skewing payments that way to hit the target. I agree that definitely hlwasn't in the original stated terms.

Anyone else still waiting for May SCs from Flybuys? I am only expecting 1, but in future months I might be expecting higher numbers and/or be close to the cutoff to a status level, so I need to make sure it's consistently working.

I have redeemed Velocity points for a QR J award and selected my seats at QR's website/app, for free, with no problem. There is an issue that they won't let a smaller group break up the double or quad sets of seats in the middle of QSuites (at least not until OLCI/departure), so if that's all...

Yesterday I booked SIN-xAUH-ZRH in Etihad J (including the 351 for the second sector) through Velocity as soon as it became available on partners at 30 days out. The MEL/SYD flights are available that week on the alternating days when the departure is evening rather than afternoon, but the...

For SQ/TG specifically, the advantage that BRU has over AMS is that it's a Star hub, albeit a lesser one. Back in 2019, I booked my mother-in-law on TG J out of BRU and I'm not sure whether AMS was a port for TG in recent history. (SQ did fly from AMS and IIRC had only recently added BRU when...

F or J, @Princess Fiona?

Yes, I got to go back to the same Myer this afternoon (Doncaster VIC) and found gift cards on a single stand next to a single register on a floor other than the ones I was able to visit yesterday. Also the Coles Myer ones were on the rear side and hard to access.

This is what I usually do when there's an Amex Offer at Myer, but I breezed through my local Myer yesterday and didn't see physical gift cards anywhere. I will try another time with no kids in tow when I can search more thoroughly, but does anyone know if they've stopped selling physical gift...

Yes. I believe it's because they're actually giving you a two-week warning of a deadline to set or reset the status airline. FWIW, when selecting Aeroplan, the actual status was granted within a few hours of the time after the two weeks elapsed and they notified me of sending the request to...

I will be in Paris next month and will see the responses to this with interest.
