VS201 SYD to HKG G-VFOX (Silver Lady) Seat 32H/31H (Y) Scheduled 14:25-21:55 Actual 14:13-21:10 As expected, Virgin had held released most of the seats available for OLCI at about T-36 and I promptly changed my previously selected 5xH&K to 32HK. Completed the rest of OLCI with no fuss at...

Introduction As a long time reader and seldom contributor, I've always enjoyed reading the TRs on AFF and whilst I travel almost yearly for leisure for the last few years, I thought this was as good a trip as any to write my first TR. Hope you enjoy reading this as much as i enjoyed reading...

I actually didn't put in my passport details when I booked. It seemed to be optional and I didn't have it on me at the time anyway.

There is no need to apologise! I was just putting in my 2c from what I know... I am considering my options on this card too, but it reads like their attitude to the insurance concern is a 'take it or leave' approach.

It's actually a requirement to tell you about FOS if they are providing a final response to your complaint... and the response reads pretty final.. take it or leave it..

I called them up 2 months ago about signing up.. Apparently the person I spoke to needed to find out the rates applicable to my type of meter and was to call me back within 3 days... It's being about 2 months, so I took that as a sign.

You can under some circumstances, I can't remember what they were or if there is a cost. I called them a few months ago to enquire transferring MR points to my wife and they posted a form out for me to fill in. I never went through with the transfer though.. I think you both need to be on the...

It's only been 8 working days since the 18th (that was a Saturday..) including the Aust Post holiday on Friday (no mail deliveries)... I think its entirely plausible it's still on its way to you... Hope you receive it next Tuesday, otherwise between now and next tuesday, nothing much more can...

Just to clarify, I only knew that it routed through standard charter from looking at the HSBC inward advice and that a fee was charged (due to the amount HSBC received is less than what Amex AU sent), but whether the whole amount charged was collected by Standard Charter or if another bank along...

I called MR (actually Plat Charge account enquiries) who transferred me to Amex FX who just confirmed I was on the list to be processed and asked me to be patient.. Apparently they had an issue during the time when I did my qualifying transfer and hence an extra long wait.

No con involved. The Terms and Conditions were clear, if between Amex AU and the receiving bank involves routing through a 3rd party bank, they may charge a fee. When I sent funds from Amex AU to HSBC HK, it routed through Standard Charter HK who charged a fee, as expected since HSBC inward...

I can get in using my Westpac Altitude Platinum..

I am not sure how it is now, but when I used to be there during Chinese New Years (CNY), the 1st 3 days most shops were CLOSED... I think these days are better, it has been more than 10 years since I was in HK during CNY, as I got bored visiting F&Fs...

I asked ~4 weeks ago if anyone can confirm if this promotion is indeed on. No replies. Still cannot find anything on the Amex website regarding this promotion. I can def confirm this is on... 15 Sep 2011 American Express Australia 20% bonus offer 2600 0 15 Sep 2011 American Express, Asia...

I think their first flight of this config was last month... This change caught me out, had pre-allocated a upstairs Y seat, but was removed a few days from flight. Tried to allocate another seat for me and my wife (separate bookings) and no luck online or the call centre.. Found out later...

I got my plat charge discounted again to half price this year (renewing since I took up blue moon last year), they did point out this is not on-going offer but a one-time goodwill gesture... In saying that, just before I took up blue moon last year, they waived my plat credit card annual fee...

I picked up SYD DPS rtn in Oct as well... Had to restart the booking 3 times after losing the dates between select flights and payment... all up $918 including $40 service fee :shock: atleast its the same price across paypal, amex and visa.. so the MR points help ease that pain..

Just wondering what, if any visa implication required here? 1 visa entry to land in Shenzhen, exit the airport and catch a train to HK, and another visa entry to get back to board the flight?

Hi, I can confirm that this works with the bonus point (obviously the 5x bonus is base on the actual amount paid) as I made a booking earlier this week. More interestingly, I applied the coupon to get $50 off from a stay totalling $334, so I ended up only having $284 charged to my amex and...
