    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Yes, Qantas does :)....... but they hate sharing info...... Sydney Airport showing this flight departing at 2pm....... but Sydney Airport, is still is not showing an assigned gate...... which does not sound good for a 2pm departure......

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    No way around reg hurdle (cannot incetivise someone to stay) that I am aware of. They can reduce renewal fees out of good will, but not to incentivise you to stay. You can get a Platinum charge card as that is not a credit card, so does not appear to be subject to the same regs.

    Accor Plus Membership Discussion

    Yes, they had both. Bid is a full AFL VIP package and is still going....... they also had seat only on an instant buy until sold out. These seat only tickets were fixed at 15,000 so very good deal (considering seat only tickets are fully allocated to members only and are $400+).

    Accor Plus Membership Discussion

    Just got tickets to 2024 AFL Grand Final through Accor Limitless Experiences for 15,000 Accor Points a ticket........ so definitely some very good reasons to keep your Accor points with Accor.

    Credit Card reward points that can be transferred to any FF or most FF

    There is not one that will go to "Any" but a number that will go to "Many". In my view Amex Platinum is the best as it does both Qantas and Velocity....... and then many others - including the ones you mentioned Kris, Singapore, Cathay. Not many/any other card options to get Qantas in the list...

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    QF will probably need to add another curtain at row 3 as well........ to reduce the visual impact of the anguishing guests in row 4 and 5, waiting for their meals....... alternatively QF could devote an additional attendant to J?

    Best Westpac card - Altitude or Qantas??

    Hi, welcome to AFF. Your current card is the best 1.0 This card in its Qantas variant, as you have identified is 0.75 And in its flexible Accent version (-Qantas) it is essentially 0.66 which is the worse (in terms of earn rate)...... but as @Dmac59 points out the annual fee is a big...

    ESTA in transit question

    Agree...... and I would also say, even if you were actually in transit, as the ETSA is for 2 years, I would be inclined to tick no to the transit question as you can't change that selection for a future trip (under the same ETSA application).......... not sure if anyone has ever has experience...

    QF with Alliance Airlines [Connecting with QR at ADL]

    Ahh yes, agree, good summary...... I only travel with cabin baggage, so that is where my head was at (noting the OP was actually talking about checked baggage)...... and that (as far as I am aware) does not work exactly the same as checked baggage, as each airline can restrict what you can carry on.

    Double Tree Cairns - Chopper Crashed into Roof

    QPS yes...... not sure about workcover...... not a work related event (not authorised to be at work or in the aircraft)...... not a journey incident as not associated with being at work.

    QF with Alliance Airlines [Connecting with QR at ADL]

    Coles gift card offers

    VA converts to SQ at cost of 1.55, so above example of a business seat from Sydney to Nadi will still bring you in ahead using SQ points obtained the long way from a flybuys transition (and give you the larger network).

    Coles gift card offers

    And in this case, the gift card is not just a gift card, it is a prepaid "mastercard", so the $100 spend for the card itself can be a mechanism to gain points for a spend on your amex card that can ultimately be used for a mastercard transaction..... which is useful when amex not accepted, amex...
