A good friend who just started using their service. I told him ponzi schemes normally run for a while before they collapse and I wish him luck 😅.

Nothing in Google reviews as the agent told me he's a freelance wholesale agent. I asked questions such as fare bucket I will be booked into and restrictions, etc. I did not get any of answers from those questions. The discount is close 27% so it is a lot. I always believe that "If something...

I've been offered a package by a travel agent based in SE Asia. The deal is pay them $6.5k and get $8.25k worth of credit you can use to book flights through them. I have too select 1 airline and use ask the credit on just the 1 airline. I was told they are a "wholesale agency" and get...

No they are different. You put in Affiliated member details in the section below the Redemption Group info. Also, they don;t ask for name of Affiliated member, just the membership number.

It is where you find the redemption group: https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_HK/membership/my-account/profile.html?tab=companions-and-redemption-group

I noticed that in the Asiamiles Redemption Group section, there is a place to enter "Affiliated Member". Does anyone know what it is?

I will be based in Asia (HKG and KUL) for the foreseeable future and won't be travelling to Australia too often.

Platinum sounds a lot better than gold 😅

I did look at BA but the 4 eligible flights a year will be a challenge. I don't fly to Europe much. Last time was 2019 to Moscow.

I fly a lot of inter-asia and Asia-Middle East. On both CX and QR, there is no SC for all types of economy fare you can buy. Even 100% flexible fares. For example, I just looked up HKG-SIN for flights in March. Flex economy which is the most expensive economy option will book into fare class...

With less than 5 months to go and on 560 SC, I am giving up requalifying for Platinum and joining QR Privilege Club to try and get their Platinum status by Dec. It's impossible to get any SC unless flying PE or J.

Thanks!

I tried to look for an answer on QF website and the fine prints but could find it. Any help is appreciated.

Yes I have used lots of the points. It has been easy to redeem tickets for travel within Asia. I have also used the points to redeem PE & J tickets to Dubai a few times. Redeeming tickets to North America is a lot more challenging but the same can be said with QF even with WP status. I will...

Most of my premium economy flights are from Asia to Middle East or from KUL/SIN to Japan. BA will won't help. Also I rarely fly to Europe. My main points earner so be my Hong Kong credit card that I credit to CX. I think I earned 1.4m points last year.

Yeah MH devalue their points and hard to earn with credit cards. QFF also not viable any more. All my travel for short haul are in economy, medium haul (6-10 hours) in premium economy and long haul in business. If I spend more time in a city with a *A airline such as Singapore or Bangkok then...

Their customer service is legendary in a bad way and they always gives me the impression that they couldn't care less.

Yeah. very true. especially if it = lower costs and/or more SC and points.

Theoretically higher price economy fare will earn SC but in reality, they are not available in most cases. For CX, I selected Flex economy but the class associated with it is usually "S" (only M,L,B,H,K,Y or E earns SC). Similar situation with QR and MH. Why OW? I am based in HK and KL and...

I have never considered moving from QFF to Enrich, ever. That is until now. As a loyal QFF for more 25 years and a current Platinum/ Lifetime gold member and based in Asia, I find it extremely difficult to retain my platinum status. I did 57 flights last year within Asia + flights from Asia...
