No - my Equifax file shows all my Amex cards but nothing from HSBC. I know HSBC use it though, as they had a FICO score on the letter of offer for the CC, and there's a hard search on the Equifax file. I'm not sure but my Equifax report uses my old (expired) passport number as SSN - this was...

Received the bonus points from Kayo about 12 hours after signup - 1,100QFF plus 10SC for $30 isn't terrible. Beat me!

That's a shame you cancelled, but no point dwelling on something that can't be undone I suppose. That said, even at the full price, it's not terrible value - but only when paying annually, imo. The largest package for refernce: GBP 199/m for 16,667 Avios = 1.19p/Avios GBP 1,989/y for 200,000...

In summary: 1) Only you can say for sure, but probably yes. 2) Once you have a Spanish address. 3) Almost certainly no. 4) Also no. They call it Global Transfer, but really it's a completely separate application for which Amex ES will liaise with Amex AU to make a decision in the absence of any...

I assume OP is meaning whether QF will contract the TP lounge to accommodate its status pax, so that Gold/Plat/P1 don't have to sit in the terminal. Not sure it's likely since they aren't selling J seats on these flights, so there's no incentive for QF to do it...

Good point. Nice one, thanks, the sense check is always helpful.

Eco hotels - will the stay qualify for Green tier still if a voucher is used to part-pay (e.g. the PC+ $100)?

My OH dropped to bronze this year and received same day as I did (she is Bronze PC+).

Yeah mate definitely, P1 is still a step above LTP, so if you achieve the SC earn you'll be upgraded.

It counts towards P1.

Good that they arrived in decent time anyway - doesn't seem to be any logic to it that I can see, but I'm sure someone at QF has some reasoning somewhere!

No, my year end is February, the SC landed on 3/9, dated 1/9 (same for P2, who is a January year end).

Same boat - the counter indicates that the 150 I was gifted counts towards LT (i.e. the total showing is 100 less than my current count, which is the 100 rollover for PC+). However, the "Already Earned" is now 150 less than it was before (I also keep a record of these offline).

Now you mention it I was actually more annoyed the FW thing than the data breach, absurd as that is from a personal POV. But it was an expected outcome, it was only the fine being announced that brought it back into my memory. As for the data breach, for better or worse I was (as many of us...

That would be good, do you have any source re this for sure? QF127 would count, but being sold as AY5006 means it definitely won't. No, you'd have to canx and rebook entirely.

If that were the case, why not just move the bar though? I agree it'll have limited effect (imo) on limiting LTPs who weren't going to get there anyway, as the bar is very high, but LTS/LTG is low in comparison (not too low, it's still a lot of flying for all but those who aren't doing it...

There has been three in one year, 2019 I think it was...I do agree with you though. The thing is, this isn't unique to QF (although QF are aggressive with it). I really hope we don't end up on a revenue based earn too soon, although I think that eventually it'll happen (maybe me saying it will...

I'm not doubting that, but whichever way you spin it, the PR on their antics isn't good, so anything positive they can spin helps. At the end of the day, a lot of people use QF out of either a lack of options or being bonded to QFF (as most of us are in one way for better or worse, hence why...

Agree, but with so many other airlines ruining their loyalty programs (BA was a very good program for lifetime Emerald, attracting a lot of US and European flyers, until their recent move to revenue), this could be a heap worse. I would be around 18 months from LTG at current average earn rate...

Sadly, I see it as very unlikely this would be a random, one-off, I suspect that from now DSC will no longer count toward LT (just as DSC hasn't applied to QF coded flights on partner metal since 2017, other than the AY codeshares SYD-SIN/BKK, which are for all intents and purposes QF flights)...
