    Where's all the UA J (Polaris) TPAC availability gone?

    United recently started offering IN (ie expanded saver-level award inventory) to credit card holders as well as elites. Pure speculation on my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if they have restricted regular award inventory (ie the type VA can book) to see how this new expanded access goes for...

    Citi Prestige Bonus Point Offers & Discussion

    NAB hasn't announced what they'll do with existing card holders once the Citi brand comes to an end. When NAB transitioned Citi banking customers across to their platform, they said they would honour a number of features of the Citi accounts and varied a number of others. Edit: I will add that...

    So quick to accuse people of spreading fake news, yet no time to read what people are actually saying.

    Citi Prestige Bonus Point Offers & Discussion

    It is fairly reasonable to assume that something significant is going to happen at the end of September. We do not precisely know what, of course. What we do know is: 1. Citi has announced the cessation of a range of promotions next month, including the end of cash back offers as well as the...

    Citi Premier Sign-Up Bonus Offers & Discussion

    Given that it looks like offers are ending on every single Citi card at the same time, I'd say it is a bigger change.

    Citi Prestige Bonus Point Offers & Discussion

    Sounds like something bigger is happening than that: 'Offer ends 14 September 2025. Credit card applications must be submitted on or before this date and approved by 30 September 2025.'

    Citi Premier Sign-Up Bonus Offers & Discussion

    Interesting. Wonder if the end is nigh for the Citi brand? Or is this simply a pause to merge the processing of applications onto the NAB platform?

    Qantas status on AA flights

    I'm not sure if it was route or load dependent, but I have had occasions in the past where I was limited to the last few rows, changed my FF number from QF to AA (where I'm EXP), and all the rows opened up.

    Qantas status on AA flights

    Similarly, when I go to AA.com, I'm now able to select all seats in First Class on a domestic flight. Previously, I was limited to the last row (or couple of rows) with my QFF number attached.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    You can have more than one so you can apply for another at any time. Probably best to wait a few days for system to recognise closure of previous card if you think that is the reason for the previous denial.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Can always product change to a free Ink (CIU or CIC) if you want. I product change all of them to CICs for 5x office supplies. But best to close if you want to apply for more Inks. Chase has a soft limit of only approving new Inks if you have less than 2-4 open at a time.

    Definitely! I more meant for CityRail (or anyone else) not wanting to maintain *G through HSBC in later years, but instead to get it through AC.

    Qantas Classic Reward & Upgrade Devaluation on 5 August 2025

    The figure is from July 2025. The fact that you think the 'average points balance changes daily' to any extent that is material to this conversation demonstrates a lack of understanding about how statistics operate at a population of that size. Additionally, there would not be more than a...

    Qantas Classic Reward & Upgrade Devaluation on 5 August 2025

    There are 16 million QFF members. The 'average QFF member' has 73,000 points — not even enough to afford half of one-way on an F award ticket. The 'average QFF member' is not even remotely close to having the capacity to spend $20,000 on First class airplane tickets — that would be more than...
