Hi all, Just wondering if I need to have my breakfast before I head to the airport. Due to the forthcoming pilot's strike in WA Qantas have cancelled my flight on 16th February. Thankfully, because I have purchased a bundle of rights rather than a ticket Qantas have transferred me onto a...

I thought so too! :oops: Right, that's it, I take it back! Saying this was a "computer says no" to me decision, based upon what I've read in this thread, is an insult to our microchipped friends. This is AMEX employees, knocking back beers and lobbing projectiles at a dartboard with application...

Hi all. Aeroplan cut it fine with the deadline but I can confirm I received my 50k within 8 weeks (52 days to be precise).

I know I'm just one data point but clearly not in my case!

Your two posts really muddy the waters here - they're clamping down on churners yet you then did a glaringly obvious churn and still got approved!? I held my last AMEX card for the entire year and only cancelled it when they couldn't provide me with a loyalty bonus to keep them on! The lack of...

Hi all, I've just been knocked back for the AMEX platinum charge card based on a credit inquiry and having recently received a copy of my credit history I believe the decision is incorrect and would like them to review it. The letter that AMEX sent out informing me of my rejection only had a...

That's not reassuring... I qualified 11th December with Aeroplan so it's almost been exactly 7 weeks. They do say it can take 6-8 weeks so I'm giving them one more week before chasing this up, but it will be most disappointing if I have to. 8 weeks is a generous amount of time to allow for...

That's amazing! 🤩 I'm not a huge fan of American tipping culture but I certainly hope in this instance you gave that chap a big fat one - he earned it! 😁

I have only attempted to utilize hotel concierges on two occasions, and they were unable to help. The hotels in question were IC Singapore & Fullerton - you'd imagine pretty heavy hitters who could make things happen. My request to each was to see if they could book me a table at Burnt Ends in...

Nice. I'm still Diamond too but borrowed time it seems. In my IHG account overview: "Our annual review of your 2023 qualifying activity is in progress. Your 2024 status will be updated in your account soon." Here's to being overlooked! 🤣

I had to wait until my next statement until SA Gold granted i.e. it didn't trigger as soon as I passed the 4K spend.

@andye and @Princess Fiona thanks for the recommendation - UA a great choice to spend an hour in prior to my departure. Great breakfast, spacious and wonderful apron views of the miserable British climate I am escaping! 🌞

Hi All, Flying out of LHR terminal 2 on SQ317 in J in a few days. Lounge options are Air Canada, United & Singapore Airlines. Much of a muchness or does anyone here rate one sufficiently more than the other? Grateful for your thoughts!

Hotel: Indigo Edinburgh, Princes Street When: December Status: Diamond + Ambassador Rate: IHGR Advance Booked: 1 Queen Bed Standard Received: 1 King Bed Suite City View (best room available; it would have cost 120AUD/night more to book it outright) Amenity Offered: welcome drink, points or...

Hotel: voco Grand Central, Glasgow When: December Status: Diamond + Ambassador Rate: IHGR Advance Booked: 1 Double Standard Bed Received: An upgrade? Not entirely clear; maybe to Double Premium but certainly nothing to write home about Amenity Offered: welcome drink, points or brekkie...

VPN. ;) Not my first rodeo in the despotates of Arabia!

Flying QR PER-DOH-EDI tomorrow in J! Depending on the time of day he releases it should provide some topical entertainment in either the PER or DOH lounge! 😁 From his initial video it's not a good look for a company like QR being thin-skinned when it comes to criticism. Massive flex for...
