    Points Club Plus renewal was achieved last month, which was also my annual membership roll-over. New Hotel and Wine Vouches arrived today (10 days into new membership year).

    Charged a cash advance fee for a gift card purchase

    I buy WOW gift cards regularly (bought one earlier today), but never via PayPal. I always pay online using my Amex card directly. Of course my process is more aligned with ensuring I earn 3x Amex MR points per $ (Amex Platinum Edge CC) as the transaction shows is being Woolworths and hence comes...

    A bit of humour

    I thought it was going along the path of "Can you tell me how big it is, so I can know if the kids will fit in?"

    Yes, we did make use of that for a stay at a Best Western hotel in the USA about a year ago. That hotel was the best option for us based on location, price and amenities, so QF Hotels using voucher was best value. All other stays on that trip were either private residence (staying with friends)...

    I am sure some people make it work well to their advantage. But for my accommodation needs, which are all leisure travel these days, the times I have been able to get value from it has been limited. Last one I used for a night in Cairns where options for my primary hotel program were very...

    True. The wine discounts get used ... for purchasing points to reach PC+. I find it harder to use the hotels vouchers, but have managed the last few years.

    Looks like I will achieve PC+ renewal. Sitting just 670 points short of the threshold thanks to some generous WW EDR "challenges" with 3,000 QFF points converted in one smallish shop today. And still have the points from my ANZ Black card spend this month to post next week. However, I am...

    RTW 2.5x - a DONE4 with stops in NYC, London and Italy (HCO only)

    Just wondering if you considered using the AA lounge at T4? You would have access to their Flagship Lounge which is pretty good and rarely crowded. Its not "table service" for food, but generally a reasonable selection from the buffet and quite a nice range of self-service beverages. And nice...

    I almost made the cardinal sin of letting my Marriott Bonvoy points expire

    In the past I have used Marriott Bonvoy as a program to launder Amex Rewards points to AAdvantage. This used to be reasonable value, but in recent years the transfer rates have been "enhanced" and transfer bonus promotions have been non-existent. I knew it was a while since I had transacted...

    Credit Card Offers Qantas Premier Platinum Offers & Discussion

    While the web site says applications are open again, every attempt to get beyond the "Apply Now" button is failing (tries Firefox and Chrome browsers, and Chrome Incognito Browser all from Windows 11 PC. Receiving message that "Something went wrong, please try again later". So it would seem...

    My total points balance increased by exactly 5000 point when they were added today.

    Thank you for your loyalty

    80 SCs (useless to me) and 5000 points (quite useful) added to my account today. Now less than 8K to PC+ renewal before the end of the month.

    Is InterContinental Brisbane Just a Crowne Plaza in a Fancier Suit?

    I don't know if there is a physical connection or not. But what I do know is that Indigo was directing customers to the public car park in Tank St and not directing to use Voco car park.

    Is InterContinental Brisbane Just a Crowne Plaza in a Fancier Suit?

    When I stayed at Voco, my vehicle *just* fit under the max height guide (by less than 20mm), and I had lots of trouble getting into and out of the only available parking space in the dungeon they call a car park. It was really, really tight. While the NM-Bus is not a compact size vehicle, it is...

    Is InterContinental Brisbane Just a Crowne Plaza in a Fancier Suit?

    Its location, perhaps 😝? Right on the Queens St Mall means its very central to most CBD sites. Better car park than Voco (very low clearance and very tight spaces) or Indigo (what car park? Oh you mean the public one a block away?). There you go, two positive comments :) Now eagerly awaiting...

    Is InterContinental Brisbane Just a Crowne Plaza in a Fancier Suit?

    Yep, its a crazy location for anything other than staying within the resort itself. Nice rooms, nice lounge. Nice pool/lagoon. But outside the "village" there is not much else around. I take it you saw my emoji in previous post :cool:

    Yes, the information certainly says "by 30 September". It does not say "on 30 September". So it is certainly possible that it will arrive before 30 September. In my case, my end of membership year is 30 September, so I would dearly like to see it arrive at least a few days before that to know...

    I still don't understand where there is confusion. I assume you are referring to this reference to a table: The table is part of the answer to the question "When will I receive the status Gift?" Then scrolling down there is a new section describing the Points Gift. It includes the same...
