Day 1 of your 24th month.

Generally harder to get approved for peak flying days. More likely to have success on a Tues/Wed/Thurs

It currently means nothing. Pure speculation on the part of the poster. Qantas has known about this matter for a decade and chosen to do nothing about it each year. Indeed, it was a Qantas representative (Red Roo) who tipped many people off to it. People started predicting its demise in 2016-17...

St Regis with 5th night free and Conrad with free night certificates/5th night free.

Not if you're paying with points ;) Great news. The lack of good connections to PPT had put us off Bora Bora. May need to reconsider.

Another year, another successful release of 2x seats to the US over peak Christmas season. Only J on the outbound (F on the inbound), but I'm fairly confident I'll be able to call and get F released closer to the date. Main priority was creating the booking during the DSC period.

I've never relied on it, especially because most US cards don't cover medical. And I wouldn't risk it with something like car rental insurance where the cost of not being covered could be very extensive.

It's not yet public. I'll share more once it is.

Which is what we're talking about — the data presented in 1H26 results of both companies.

Carrier charges were significantly increased with the devaluation last year: Qantas Devaluing Classic Rewards & Upgrades in August 2025

They failed 😂

You are wrong about what is an active member. For Qantas, inactive members are defined as 'Members who have not redeemed a flight in the previous 5 years'. It's not someone who forget to switch off their Everyday Rewards to Qantas earn.

Are you aware it's not a 'single NRL match' lol? I thought you said you'd been before. Pick up some spectacles while you're over there, and re-read my repeated posts where I tried to educate you on how a seasonal route operates. The more interesting question is how many regular people (ie...

Notably, Velocity's active members grew 11% compared to Qantas' growth of 7%. So it's certainly not clear that people are leaving Velocity in droves for Qantas.

Back to the general tourism point, are you? Try to make up your mind. Qantas, a notorious risk taking airline lol, definitely decides to launch a new route to capture a market declining 7.5% a year, not the event increasing 42% a year.

Hilton yes, Marriott no. Credit card churners are not earning their points with spend at Hilton properties (ie the 30 per $ you quoted).

No it won't. It's a new reward search overlay that is being run by one of the well-known award search tools. Nothing more than that.

Yes, I should have said the bigger problem from the perspective of those playing the credit card game. For anyone not playing the credit card game, you were never really winning — it was just a case of by how much you were losing and in what ways.

And for anyone who still thinks it could be general tourism to Las Vegas that's driving Qantas' decision rather than the NRL (which increased its Australian attendance by 42% in 2025), here's what Fairfax reported earlier this week: 'Rugby league is endeavouring to cash in on Las Vegas as the...
