500 error too. I've stopped collecting Qantas points in favour of other programs but was really hoping to offload some of the roughly 400,000 or so I accumulated over the past few years today. They knew that demand would be high so they would have had plenty of time to prepare the website for...

This, but when you add in the synergy of the tool crashing when there's no availability to be found; the incredible frustration of landing on a month with business classic rewards galore only to pain-stakingly click through them all to find out that they're phantom availability and you've got to...

Agreed - also based in Perth and made the decision in October last year to switch my credit card churning from Qantas to Velocity for this reason. I also have a bunch of Avios left over from my time living in the UK and purchased more during a recent 50% bonus sale. It's not as good a value as...

Me too. :( Qantas gonna Qantas. 🤷‍♂️

Not from Adelaide, Sydney or Melbourne. I must confess I did not look at Brisbane as having observed similar flexi awards behaviour at the other four major Australian airports I thought it unlikely Brisbane would buck the trend.

Hotel: InterContinental Amman When: December Status: Diamond + Ambassador Rate: IHGR Advance Booked: 1 King Bed Premium Received: 1 King Bed Presidential Ste Living Area :eek: Amenity Offered: None at check-in. Called reception later and asked for complimentary breakfast; they obliged. This...

Hi all, With the effective withdrawal of obtaining Qatar premium cabin seats via QFF I thought I would be in pole position for once to snag a Christmas award seat from Australia to Europe next year using Avios but I'm beginning to get a sneaking suspicion that Qatar aren't going to make it that...

Thanks for the info! I've got to hope my upgrade will come through then! 🤞

Hi all, I'll be flying DXB - SIN in EK F getting in at 08:25 and then flying SIN - PER in QF Y (although I have put in for Classic Rewards Upgrade) 19:15. It's a long stopover time and it would be nice to have a lounge to relax in, at least for part of it! If my upgrade doesn't come through...

Crew rest seat? I was on QF SIN - PER recently and put in for an upgrade that was unsuccessful. Like you though I saw there was a free seat in J just after take-off before they closed the curtains. When I spoke to the cabin crew and explained I was surprised that there was a free J seat...

The common areas are astonishing - it's quite beautiful. The location is top-notch just being a 5-10 minutes walk from the British Museum and 2 minutes away from the London Underground. I only ate (my complimentary) breakfast there. I went for the Full English option and it was very tasty and...

Hi all, Trying to wrap my head around using the Ambassador Complimentary Weekend Night. Looking to book myself a stay in Edinburgh for 3 nights: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I select the Ambassador Complimentary Weekend Night and see some properties have this available. When I go through...

Hi Matt, what about some of the other Ambassador perks - the $20USD bar credit - is that only for staying in Intercontinental branded properties too? Or if it's a property that you can book on the IHG website it's safe to assume that's it available to use at the hotel in question? This IHG...

Just checked in. Some successes, some failures. Early check-in at 11:30. Guaranteed room upgrade unavailable. Welcome amenity - 600 points, drink or breakfast (I went with the latter). The Snuggle is Real - 1000 points or coughtail (I went with the latter).

@NM am I misreading the T&C? For Ambassador - complimentary breakfast only valid in mainland China? It seems outwith China you receive up to $20USD voucher instead? https://www.ihg.com/intercontinental/content/gb/en/ambassador/terms-conditions

Hi all, unfortunately I did not quiz the Lounge Dragon about the compimentary lounge pass situation as she turned out to be more of a Dove. Even though PER - SIN was in Y my onward travel from SIN was in F so I chanced my arm to see if she would let me in based on that - and she did! :D I...

Hi everyone, I can report that my interlining went smoothly. I got to Perth Airport, let it be known to one of the Qantas staff there about my situation and they effortlessly issued my boarding passes for both my Qantas flight and my onwards Emirates flights and arranged for my bags to be...

Thank you for your personal experience Fishfood. This is useful to know as the offer has been misrepresented on multiple points blogs. For example Flighthacks (they were not the only offenders) listed complimentary breakfast and welcome amenity as two separate benefits...

Hi all, I was one of the lucky ones who managed to swoop in on the Diamond status for nothing which I've managed to extend for another year by then signing up the Ambassador programme. My first stay is going to be at the Kimpton Fitzroy London beginning December and I'm just trying to get my...
