Go EK (possibly on a QF codeshare). First, you'll have your status recognised on EK (but not Flydubai). Second, according to my dad (who flew into Catania with them), the flights on Flydubai can get rowdy with Italians treating it as one big party (as the IFE is paid). Third, Bergamo is easy to...

Both base and PCP bonus points had the same date in October.

The date of check-in. (I had some Qantas hotels points post in November for an October stay but these did not count for PC in my current membership year.)

FWIW, flightseats.io allows you to check how many seats are available in each fare bucket. https://flightseats.io/flight-load-checker It's probably a little early to be able to judge availability. Probably best to check a couple of weeks out once it's clearer how many cash fares have been...

Thanks for the review - MH Y looks pretty good indeed. I have to get to BRU or AMS mid-next year and am thinking of positioning to KUL to pick up CX J via HKG (which actually earns more SCs on QFF than the nerfed rates from the east coast). The choice is MH non-stop on the A339 (hopefully using...

I've just checked a few bookings and my goodness, Qantas seat selection has become complex. Looking at my CDG-PER-MEL flight in June, CDG-PER on the 789 has three categories of 'forward zone' seats (only two of which are free as SG), while on PER-MEL there are now two categories of Economy Plus...

Woolworths still has not taken the hint and offered me another $130 for 800 point offer! (Might do the $20 for 1200 points on freezer items though.)

Note also that DSC promos don’t apply to codeshare flights like those on EK.

My view is churning is fine (the offer is there, so why not take advantage of it?), and if you want to repeatedly try, well... okay. But lodging frivolous or vexatious complaints about a clear commercial decision to refuse credit isn't okay as this ties up resources dealing with your whinge...

The restaurants argued it was all too hard to comply so lobbied successfully to escape the rules around price transparency that apply everywhere else...

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.
