    AMEX rejection

    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...

    Accor stays to Qantas Points discrepancies?

    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.

    Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

    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.

    Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

    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...

    Accor stays to Qantas Points discrepancies?

    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...

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    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.

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    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...

    Mantra Melbourne's cheapest room = $5K per night

    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.

    Mantra Melbourne's cheapest room = $5K per night

    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?

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    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.)

    Doing a redemption from Asia to Europe via Doha and vice versa

    I think that it's probably a limitation on VA's booking system. I've previously called up to successfully have CPH-DOH and DOH-MEL (both in J and with a ~8 hour layover in DOH) put onto the one ticket and priced correctly as CPH-DOH-MEL. Assuming there are no issues with married segments, you...

    MyCard - worth keeping??

    Well, you get free travel insurance too. You'd need to crunch the numbers to work out how much you put through the card, how many points that generates and whether your replacement 'keeper' card would generate sufficient additional points to justify the annual fee you'd now pay. For me at my...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Woolworths thinks that, as I've completed two $65-ish spends as part of the four week spend offer, I'll suddenly up my spending to $130 for 800 points. Errr... how about 'no'? Also got 450 points for a $15 spend on freezer products.

    Accor stays to Qantas Points discrepancies?

    Not yet. But the disclaimer says the points can take up to six weeks to drop, so I'm waiting for a couple more weeks as I suspect I'll just be told to wait if I file an enquiry before then.
