    Retaining Platinum Status - what is the quickest/ cheapest way?

    gotta agree with fishhead. fortunately I travel first class when available so colour of card is irrelevant. qantas first is so far behind that offered by asian competitors that they are always a last resort. Havent flown in the A380 yet but their other configurations are so dated that you feel...

    QF award flight downgrade

    I realise that I can re ticket with a business class ticket but that does not suit me. Tis a long trip and the rest is mostly first class. I just find it outrageous that they can down grade you on a major sector without so much as an apology, or any form of compensation. Theres a lot of airlines...

    AMEX Platinum Charge $600 First year

    i must add here that most people using the platinum card would already have access to lounges due to the fact they would be flying business or first. pointless coughing up $900 a year and then flying economy.
