My guess, with no inside info: QR added a new line item to their fees/surcharges alongside the relevant award buckets. VA (and likely CX) had a set of accepted fare fees/taxes codes that they suppressed in lieu of their own surcharges, with everything else (including legit taxes) passed...

OP may come back to answer, but possibly baby not born (or even known about, if booked far in advance) when ticketed? Back in the day we booked flights for a friend's wedding when we were expecting. As I recall they put a note on the booking and we called back after birth to give name, sex, DoB...

This may have been corrected? I'm seeing copays in the $800 range in either direction AU<>EU, using QR codes to/from ADL and QR or VA to/from BNE/MEL, which looks like the status quo ante. (It's $1200 leaving LHR, but they have the ridiculous premium departure tax. Choosing FCO as origin brings...

Thanks, @Hunter4vr.

Does anyone know what the cash copay is on a QRPC award on VA domestic, like MEL-CNS or MEL-PER? Or can anyone with a significant Avios balance price it for me? I can establish that it's 11k/22k Avios for Y/J respectively but I don't want to lock the points in Avios without knowing the cash cost.

Yes, my experience with both Aeroplan and MileagePlus is that once the 14-day window elapsed the chosen status was granted within hours.

In terms of places where the hotel itself is luxurious and beautiful, as well as being in a great location, then it's a toss-up between: Conrad Tokyo, overlooking the Hamarikyu Gardens and Tokyo Bay Waldorf-Astoria Versailles Trianon Palace, next to the Château grounds and including the old...

The individual rebate amounts track in the Savings tab in your online account. So you can see which credits have been processed so far this year, and determine the remainder.

I stayed in a Sonder property in Rome with my family, before the Marriott partnership. The location was great and the apartment was cool, but there were some glaring defects and I had to fight them (and Booking dot com) for months to be made whole. It was a complete clusterlovemaking. All this...

In a few months I have an FJ award in J (using QF points), SYD-NAN-DFW. Unfortunately on the day in question they had only the early-morning B737 SYD departure available as an award, not the lunchtime A350. I will keep my eye out for a QF or AA alternative (or UA using different points), or swap...

I think earn only keeps the earning account current, but a redemption is applied proportionally to every account in the pool so that keeps everyone current.

It's been a while since I redeemed Asia Miles for someone else (like, before COVID), but my recollection is that you can, but you have to mark them as a redemption nominee and changes to nominees are throttled over time, similar to KrisFlyer.

I have flights MEL-SYD vv this weekend. Both are Flex fares, booked during a double-status-credits offer. If I make a $ bid for a Business upgrade (def not worth the points increment), and am successful, I know I won't get extra SCs. But will my existing double SCs be safe or will the PNR...

I'm looking at MEL<>PER vv almost a year away, for a milestone birthday for a family member. I'm being offered results in J, on A330 equipment, often for both a ~6am departure and an ~8pm departure from MEL. (I'm using AA miles because the pricing is good and I have plenty, but would consider...

Have people received their Aug '25 status credits yet?

Yeah, I got the email yesterday.

They arrived sometime during the day Monday. (They weren't there when I checked ~06:00 but were there when I checked again ~22:00.)

I haven't received an email. I talked to NAB yesterday about another matter, and asked about this at the end and the agent knew nothing about it but said she was sure I would receive notice if it were to actually happen. (Of course I have less faith in bank employees than to treat that as...

Yeah, but I can use it for transactions I am making anyway. Interesting. I hit the 1000pt on my other cards, and I got the right number (~275) of points on a ~$55 transaction on the Edge last week. But a purchase made on Sunday for ~$148, which should have cleaned out the remainder, hasn't yet...
