I'm a bit confused about the reset of status nights. I'm an Accor Plus member via Amex, currently Gold valid until 31 Mar 24. (My first year in the program.) I'm planning my stays to see if it's possible to obtain platinum by that date. The Accor website says : "To move to Accor Plus Platinum...

I recently acquired an Amex Platinum. As part of the benefits I've enrolled successfully in Hilton Gold etc but the subscription to the Australian simply won't work. I've enrolled, I get the green tick, Amex website says "No membership number", I received an SMS from the Australian saying...

Would the following pattern allow me to achieve VA Gold status? I am family pooling with my wife and we just need one gold member so ... Dec 2019 we fly business class SQ ARN-SIN-SYD which I think will earn (120 + 160) * 2 (via pooling) SCs = 560 tick If Nov 2020 we fly 2 qualifying segments...

I normally plan my travel currencies pretty well but on a recent trip I came back with some Azerbaijan Manat. Not too many, but unless I need a bookmark they aren't much good to me. Can anybody suggest a place that would buy Azerbaijan Manat notes? Preferably in Sydney but I'll soon be...

I know this stuff has been asked and answered before, but many of those older threads have been closed and I imagine my case is a pretty typical example so worth asking again. I bought a new iPhone 6 - 64 GB for $1149. If I claim back the GST through TRS that leaves a net (taxable upon return)...

You can find some of my previous trip reports here: Papua New Guinea via the Bird of Paradise TR - Mostly Star Alliance SYD-CPH the long way Sydney to Iceland via China. Mostly J, some China Domestic Y and Magnetic Levitation! SQ & LX J, AZ & EN Y and an LH flightless bird This time though...

I seem to flip flop between SQ Silver and Gold levels but I've just made Gold again. Next week I am travelling VA from Port Moresby to Sydney via Brisbane and I presume my new Gold card wont have arrived by then. Can anybody confirm I'll have access to a lounge at POM? and at POM and BNE what...

I tend to prefer Virgin Australia over Qantas. I find their customer service better and their on-time record just as good if not better. They've come a long way especially since a change in CEO a few years back. This is a bit of a summary of my VA experiences over the last few months and today's...

Let's just say a friend of mine travels from time to time with different members of his family (same surname). If he did it properly he would then have multiple KrisFlyer accounts all with fairly small balances. But what if my friend decided to use just one account for his family members and...

I'm sure this question has been asked a hundred times, but everybody's circumstances are different. After over 20 years of loyal patronage I'm considering leaving Star Alliance. Since the ANSETT days I've been a member of ANSETT, United and now SQ. I reached Gold on 3 occasions, never realised...

I am Silver SQ Krisflyer. 2 years back I paid for a trip to Euprope for my daughter and I joined her up as a member of Krisflyer. There are about 15000 points sitting in her account about to expire. How can I best use these points? Ideally I'd like to transfer them to my account. Alternatively...

How does a simple trip become a far more complex undertaking? Well it started as a short package tour in China but soon became an almost around the world extravaganza of wine, Star Alliance J flights, Chinese domestic Economy legs, lost luggage, found luggage, the Chinese Magnetic Levitation...

Quite often I notice a set of vapour trails over Sydney, shortly after 6am flying South West to North East. It appears to be a 2 engine jet. Because it's at altitude surely it can't be a flight leaving Sydney before ascending to cruising height before heading out over the Pacific. I can't think...
