Also, in my experience as recently as a few months ago, an AAdvantage phone agent could see and book QR J space that showed on Velocity's website but not AAdvantage's. But that may have changed.

I have flown QSuites: on a Cathay award, with no Oneworld status at the time on a cash ticket, with Velocity Gold linked I have upcoming QSuites bookings: on an American award, with no Oneworld status on a Velocity award, as Velocity Platinum I have been able to select a seat for free in all...

I have an upcoming Saver booking MEL-SIN on SQ0238 in J, followed by a six-hour layover before a separate onward J award itinerary on EY SIN-xAUH-ZRH. I don't expect the SATS Lounge to be too impressive (even the T3 SKL was really underwhelming a couple of years ago) so I figure I'll store my...

Yes, but they wouldn't approve me for the Rewards Signature even when I was going to close the Coles Rewards at the same credit limit and have a salary way above their guidelines. When I went into a branch to ask for a reconsideration the agent seemed genuinely surprised it wasn't approved.

Does it correlate to actual "mobile wallet" transactions? Apple/Google/Samsung Pay? Because for me that was what was happening and I started skewing payments that way to hit the target. I agree that definitely hlwasn't in the original stated terms.

Anyone else still waiting for May SCs from Flybuys? I am only expecting 1, but in future months I might be expecting higher numbers and/or be close to the cutoff to a status level, so I need to make sure it's consistently working.

I have redeemed Velocity points for a QR J award and selected my seats at QR's website/app, for free, with no problem. There is an issue that they won't let a smaller group break up the double or quad sets of seats in the middle of QSuites (at least not until OLCI/departure), so if that's all...

Yesterday I booked SIN-xAUH-ZRH in Etihad J (including the 351 for the second sector) through Velocity as soon as it became available on partners at 30 days out. The MEL/SYD flights are available that week on the alternating days when the departure is evening rather than afternoon, but the...

For SQ/TG specifically, the advantage that BRU has over AMS is that it's a Star hub, albeit a lesser one. Back in 2019, I booked my mother-in-law on TG J out of BRU and I'm not sure whether AMS was a port for TG in recent history. (SQ did fly from AMS and IIRC had only recently added BRU when...

F or J, @Princess Fiona?

Yes, I got to go back to the same Myer this afternoon (Doncaster VIC) and found gift cards on a single stand next to a single register on a floor other than the ones I was able to visit yesterday. Also the Coles Myer ones were on the rear side and hard to access.

This is what I usually do when there's an Amex Offer at Myer, but I breezed through my local Myer yesterday and didn't see physical gift cards anywhere. I will try another time with no kids in tow when I can search more thoroughly, but does anyone know if they've stopped selling physical gift...

Yes. I believe it's because they're actually giving you a two-week warning of a deadline to set or reset the status airline. FWIW, when selecting Aeroplan, the actual status was granted within a few hours of the time after the two weeks elapsed and they notified me of sending the request to...

I will be in Paris next month and will see the responses to this with interest.

Should be able to access QF J lounge. I can't comment on how it compares to Marhaba where I've never been though. If you have Priority Pass I think the House is pretty nice.

A Velocity search won't find mixed-cabin itineraries but can you get the call centre to construct an award with long-haul J connecting to short-haul Y on (say) UA?

Also @Alex Bear check this morning. Mine arrived overnight, and somewhere earlier in the thread someone concluded they seem to be awarded in bulk early each month.

Is there anywhere to reach out to NAB for a reconsideration of a card application, by phone or online, rather than going into a branch? I was declined but I think I should qualify if they know about my recent closed card and my intent to close another on approval.

I have also seen bonus points appear as "Mobile Wallet" and corresponding only to the in-person Google Wallet transactions on the card and no others. It may be that they accidentally wired it like a past offer specifically for spend from mobile wallets. That clearly is not consistent with the terms.

I have stuff held against it for upcoming trips, which I will need to pay with a different card because they're after June, but I probably won't have much room to cancel before the next annual fee in October.
