I do get frequent and generous offers. No need to make it more complex than it really is just to make yourself sound special. Remove it from Coles web site, input all your data again, remove and replace in Google wallet, remove and replace in the app, change the stored settings on my browser on...

But those are horrible. The first would be tedious and the second? Oh, come on, I need to eat before May. As it happens, wasting some time online worked. 4 x $70 for 10k points offer email just received.

I wish I knew how to poke the algorithm into action. Often, going away for a month is perfect. But this time I get back with no new offers at all. I want to buy groceries, but doing so without a promo offer just seems wrong.

In Asia, this is not necessarily a good idea. You can find foreign exchange booths that give you rates within 1% of the mid-rate. (If you carry large USD notes, you can get much closer than that!) In Thailand, most ATMs charge a 220 baht fee (over $10) for all foreign card transactions, which is...

The American HH Amex Surpass used to offer 10 PP visits a year (plenty for me) with an annual fee of just US$150. At $700 a year, nope, I'll just eat before I go to the airport.

Agents see the same availability we do, in my experience. Amex travel is missing almost every airline and fare that I've wanted.

I'm amazed that they get consistent business ... or really any business. It took me almost a whole year to find a use for the $50 voucher on $150+ booking that QF sent out last year that didn't end up losing me money! I booked a bunch of independent hotels in the past year and typically Qantas...

Food selection is below what I'd expect for CX. And those pics are about 5m away from me.

Way too generous article. Incorrect information from the airlines should be called what it is, fraud. They should be prosecuted when they don't provide what they've publicly stated they will provide.

Must use the link contained in the email and the email was sent out by QFF, not Accor.

I received email about a new fast track for QFF members:

If you are at/in the city, there's more incentive to use Skybus. (Do they still have the shuttles to hotels? That was great.) For those of us who live further out it's a bit different. Last time I went to the airport, PTV journey planner said 1:26 from my station to the airport by including...

At 17:38 this afternoon, 11 April, I received the email. That's rather short notice, wouldn't you say?

Also truly weird is that the $570 BA economy fares I mentioned earlier disappeared entirely some time later, yet the $460 BA discount business class fares were available on the same flights.

I managed to find a hotel that was only $2/night more on Amex than other sources. I booked just before my statement date and the $200 credit posted on that statement, but the charge is on the next one, which is nice. Less nice is the confirmation screen that doesn't even list the fact that I...

I've had more IT issues with Accor than all other chains put together. Their IT, even simple things like points crediting correctly, is worse than Hilton in the 90s. I've found it impossible to use Amex for online bookings at some properties, yet agents can book it (with same card) over the...

For me, it's IHG for chain hotels and Agoda for non-chain hotels. ("status" with Agoda can actually include some good discounts) SPG used to be good, but after the Marriott takeover, it's just not worthwhile to me. There are too few hotels in most cities and most are poor value. I was diamond...

I can't fathom that. I was looking recently at business class awards to London and the USA late next year. QFF has absolutely nothing ever, as usual. Krisflyer has availability to both destinations. A month or so ago, I was booking PER-SIN for January. Again, SQ had J availability on a number...

It really isn't even close to as bad as QF. SQ has enormous amounts of J space for its own members that it doesn't release to partners. When I had about 22k SQ points heading towards expiry last year, I boosted it to 24k with a Marriott transfer (which can be done exactly, not in some multiple...

No, it isn't clear at all. It's utterly ambiguous. They wrote "and/or" for both the "no change" and the "new" clauses, which means that activating before and departing after make both clauses true. As for the change itself, it makes the card almost useless to me. For example, I have already...
