    When do I get my UA Premier Card!?

    Mabye UA is ticked because I am milking thier FF program for all its worth (pretty much only racking up miles on NZ flights), but how long does it take them to send me my card!? My Premier making flight was on 21 Jul. and I was "officially" premier on 24 Jul. But I have a trans-pacific flight...

    What will be best *alliance program to join

    I would recomend UA Mileage Plus. They are highly compatable with Star airlines and especially with NZ and LH. I think you can earn Star Silver and Gold status on them faster than any other airline, and they dont charge you to join like NZ Airports does. I just made Premier Star Silver and...

    Upstairs or Downstairs?

    Yea sometimes I wish that UA didnt make it so easy to get upfront... But then I prolly would never get up there! And their current product is rubbish anyways when you compare it to QF J or NZ (ahhhh) J!

    Upstairs or Downstairs?

    If we are still talking about UA, this is not true. They pack their C FULL FULL FULL especially in and out of SYD, then top the rest of it off with non-revs. Ive seen it overbooked on numerous occasions. And I would much rather b on the upstairs on a full flight! SOOO Much quieter, and...

    How long does UA FF status last?

    I just made Premier on UA (Jul. 07) and I was wondering how long this status holds? Will I go back to general member as of Jan. 1st? Or will I be premier all next year and have to make 25K miles again? Cheers

    Flat Business Class Beds on the way

    I really dont want to get anyone's hopes up about the new C on UA, but look at how long its taking them to paint their fleet. DL has about passed them on that! UA is the only US airline that has absoulutly no a/c on order and they are running their fleet to virtually 100%. It will be while...

    Upstairs or Downstairs?

    Gday, I am new to the site as well, and think its awesome! I worked for United for almost 2 years and my mate and I were non-reving which we did constantly (ive done SYD-LAX and SYD-SFO loads of times), usually to run over to China for some real chineese food or to get my hair cut in London...

    At most properties they will have housekeeping put your amenities in your room before you check-in, considering you have made your reservation more than 24hrs in advance. At hilton properties dont be afraid to approach multiple employees and ask for the same thing, ie free breakfast/drinks ect...

    Which hotel loyalty program???

    Ok I understand what you are saying now, the nice thing though about HHonors is that you can switch back and forth as you want.

    Which hotel loyalty program???

    No, he gets the base points (the points that equal your total dollar amount) plus an additional 50% of those points which is the bonus you get for being a Gold or Diamon Tier member. To get the double-dip option you have to go in and specify if you want additional Hilton points or if you want...

    Which hotel loyalty program???

    Sounds like you do need a holiday! They have a program called "double-dip." You can earn your base points + the point bonus for your tier and miles on the airline of your choice. I believe on AA you get one mile for every dollar you spend on your folio (so charge to your room as much as...

    Which hotel loyalty program???

    I would highly reccomend going with Hilton HHonors. You get free stays and free flights. The miles also accur pretty quick if you are spending some time at hotels. I used to work for Hilton back in the States and they will bend over backwards for Gold/Diamond memebers. Its definitly the best...

    Buy Platinum Status on US Airways

    There is a guy on ebay that sells elite status on many different airlines. He has all positive comments too... I bought some United system-wide upgrades off him one time.
