I signed up through the Vintec Club. https://www.vintec.com/en-au/experiences/

Indeed. We'll see whether it works (or not) in due course I suppose. It wouldn't surprise me if repeated applications led to @Dr Ralph being hit with Amex's banhammer in due course, but that's between Amex and Dr Ralph. (Having said that, inferring that Amex is rejecting on the basis of...

Never bought, but you can buy it with some Qantas points: Buy Pyren Reserve Cabernet 2023 | Qantas Wine

When? Close in (i.e. past T-80) they may have already allocated all or most of the remaining seats. What does Expertflyer indicate?

Decent deal for those wishing to buy points (with PCP, it's 1.63cpp): Buy Red Mixed Dozen 2026 | Qantas Wine

The second bit is if you ring up and say 'can you convert my Qantas Signature card to a non-Qantas one'. Not if you apply for a different flavour separately.

Agree - when I got my (now long binned) letter a few weeks ago, it was phrased fairly generically (something like 'we couldn't approve you based on your credit file'). In my case, I had a stack of enquiries in 2024 from churning and a couple of closures in 2025 so am patiently waiting for the...

So it looks like it's back operating correctly. Anyway, my account has gone through 'regularization' now so hopefully the Qantas points are not too far away for my Pullman stay. EDIT - points have now landed.

Also noticed that my booking in row 48 (in whY too) on a 789 from CDG to PER is showing as preferred seating. Many changes afoot in Qantas' seat selection rules it seems.

Looks like they're starting to sell economy plus. The seats which I'd selected in row 8 on the 738 are now showing as chargeable ($35 for MEL-SYD; $74 for PER-MEL). Here's hoping my existing selections in row 8 stick...

People stumbling across this thread should note it matters where you send the enquiry. I used the contact form twice. One using the Partners dropdown has been responded to with 'wait the six weeks'. Immediately after using the Partners dropdown, I realised I should've used the 'missing...

Yes - 10% off for PCP, a $50 voucher, triple points and 1000 green tier points (for 2x 6-packs). All up, it yielded 28,875 points for $430.60. FWIW, I think $20 a bottle is a fair value. It's not a bad chardonnay, but for its RRP (or even ordinary discounted price of ~$40), you can do better.

The 2024 Thompson Estate chardonnay was recently on Qantas Wines as a wine offered when you bought ~24000 bonus points and I puchased a dozen. Came to ~$534 before discounts and vouchers, so $44.50 a bottle before the value of the points etc were deducted. Once the value of points (at 1cpp) and...

Thanks for the update - will fire off an enquiry now.

Sorry - was looking at the wrong hotel, but it's still the same principle. Basically, the hotel's open for booking until 1 July. After that, they're trying to deter bookings without making it unavailable.

Other Accor hotels are reasonable on that date, so perhaps they're holding back bookings for now, given that normal rates are available until grand final weekend.

What does it say if you bring up the full fare rules?

Email address is a few posts above.

Most recent reports are 4-6 weeks... I had my last pickup 3 weeks ago so expect to see the final leaf in mid-February. (You may wish to fire an email off with a screengrab of the Resmart app and see what can be done.)
