C1 has added JAL as a transfer partner. There's lots of availability for 2 pax in F on SYD-HND-SYD flights.

Yes. You'll need to pay the change fee.

Yes, the RBA is completely unphased by the banks' efforts to save the existing arrangements: 'She also questioned the fairness of frequent flyer points linked to credit card loyalty programs, saying younger, lower-income consumers were unfairly paying hidden fees that funded rewards for...

Sorry, by Platinum, I meant the US version.

Tempted to get a few of my Platinums reissued in mirror finish for P2 to use as a compact mirror when travelling 😂.

I'm making more off the points game than I ever have, so don't intend on quitting anytime soon 😉 I'm talking about the game as a whole. And it's unquestionable that the game as a whole is degrading in Australia, and will degrade a whole lot more if the RBA changes come into effect. As that...

To give you a sense of what the future might look like. No one 'games' Delta miles anymore because their points are worth a fixed value. Millions of people still collect Delta miles because they have a value — if you're going to spend money on a credit card and fly Delta, you might as well...

Many, many, many programs have gone that way. More generally, this is what has happened to the points space for Australians just this year: Points Redemptions - Devaluation of Qantas points (classic and classic plus) - Devaluation of Singapore points - Devaluation of Velocity points -...

So am I, but all you've done is prove my point.

And if every point was worth 1c each off a cash fare, where would be your sweet spot or loophole? Sounds like I found your breaking point pretty easily 😂

100% disagree. Indeed, it is incredibly easy to prove you are wrong. The world has hundreds of thousands of points programs. 99.9% of them attract no attention from anyone. Indeed, even within the world of airline and hotel programs, there's only a small (and decreasing) number that attract...

Good perspective. Even for the people that love the hunt of finding award seats, they will have a breaking point where all the joy has been sapped out of the points game. My guess would be a lot more people are going to hit that breaking point as the devaluations mounts and mount.

Agree nothing will happen. Just pushes *A that little bit closer to being an alliance in name only.

Not sure what you mean. It's absolutely worth paying hundreds of dollars per year for a membership or tens of thousands of dollars chasing lifetime gold to get access to the hallowed toastie machine. Those toastie machines must be Qantas' highest performing asset. Never have so many people paid...

Does this mean JQ pax will be able to easily access the SYD lounges again? If so, QF better be planning some expansions for those lounges!

Great news. Category 3 as well, so dirt cheap points prices.

Two and a half years after it changed the exclusion period from 12 to 18 months, it has now been changed to 24 months. Qantas and Rewards products still appear to be treated separately.

Keep in mind that no one knows what the credit card landscape is going to look like in 18 months. If the RBA's proposed interchange caps are implemented, the credit card points game in Australia will be, by today's standards, dead. We're talking sign-up bonuses of under 50K points & earn rates...

For anyone with a Chase credit card or United status, United has dumped a huge amount of IN inventory between Australia and North America for next year — up to 9 seats in business class. Can view the dates at https://seats.aero/pnpz and select IN
