Hi all, I am thinking about ditching my Centurion card, and downgrading to the Platinum charge card. I am just struggling to see the additional benefits vs the huge fee difference between the two. Anyway, my question is probably a little odd - but bear with me. Anyone who has done this...

Hi all, Quick question to anyone who has been at LAS lately. Flying VX in July back from LAS to LAX. From what I understand, VX is in T3, E Gates. I would like to try out the AmEx Centurion Lounge, which is still in T3, but D Gates. Anyone tell me the best way to get from E to D Gates ...

Hi everyone, Quick question - does anyone know is it possible to buy foreign currency (specifically USD cash) with an American Express card ?? I know through Travelex that you can purchase using Visa and Mastercard, but no AmEx. Was even searching for Paypal payment (now that you can pay...

Hi all, Absolutely nothing to do with anything travel/flying related at all - but I just need to share my excitement :) Hubby and I bought tickets to see "Mythbusters" today, and we went for the "VIP "Meet and Greet" package. Could not be more excited ! Lol That is all :p:p:p:p Cheers ! Brooke

Hi all, Apologies if this is posted in the wrong area - mods, please move if need be. Hubby has asked me to post this. He suffers from pretty severe sinus pain on descent when flying. Just really uncomfortable, stabbing pain around his eyes, forehead etc. We have tried - * Ear Planes *...

Hi everyone, Am on a roll tonight - looking for answers ! :) Any car service recommendations for transfer from a Beverly Hills hotel (Sofitel) to LAX ?? Know I could just pick one from "google" etc - but thought I would ask, as personal experience is always welcomed. Cheers, Brooke

Hi all, Would probably like to avoid having the car sitting at the airport for our 3 week U.S holiday in July/August. Wondering if anyone can recommend a car service (reliable !) to take us to MEL airport from Mornington Peninsula area (around Mornington) - and then to pick us up and take us...

Hi everyone, Seeking some opinions from the smart folk of the AFF community. I work for a small family company. Have been there for 5 years. Two sides to the business. It looks like my side of the business may be wound down next year, and my job will cease to exist. As the only Sales Manager...

Hi everyone, Hubby and I are heading off to the U.S in July/August. Both legs are on "Reward" seats. SYD-LAX in J, LAX-SYD in PE. I had to book seperate tickets there and back as at the time I did not have enough points to do it all together. Am just wondering.... What would be the process if...

Hi all, Not the first time I have rented in the US through Hertz, but I always seem to get screwed when it comes to the "additional insurances" offered on pick up of the vehicle - usually due to my own paranoia and lack of understanding, than the traditional "hard sell" tactics of the agents...

Hi all, I realise that I am probably going to have to call the Service Centre to complete this query, but was just wondering if anyone can give me a rough idea of how many Velocity points I would need to burn to get reward seats on both Delta and Virgin America ? I have quite a few points and...

Hi all, Have booked this hotel for 5 nights in July 2014 - Superior Hollywood Hills view King Room. Have stayed here once before, but had no status. Anyone stayed here as a Platinum ???? Tips, on what I can expect ?? (If anything ! LOL). Also, I have searched - and it is probably looking at...

Hi all, I sent an email to my Centurion RM the other day, questioning whether the new "enhancement" benefits on the Plat Charge Charge would filter through to our Centurion cards - in part, here is what I received back - "Yes the Platinum Charge Card program has changed, the overall value of...

Hi everyone. I had a small "incident" (supposed new scratch on alloy rim) on my Hertz rental car recently. I lodged my claim through Ace Insurance (AmEx Centurion) on Monday Aug 12. Received an email Friday Aug 16 saying they were having problems with their direct credit payment system...

Whinge for the day ! Sat up until midnight on Thursday night to secure 2xJ reward seats MEL-LAX for July 19 next year on VA. Got all excited - selected seats etc - got all the way to the "payment" page for the taxes etc. Put in AmEx number, submit etc.........happy dance turned to sad...

Hi all, Bear with me - my questions are probably very much a long shot, but maybe someone out there can offer some help :) Hubby and I are looking to go to Japan in August to see Aerosmith. Never been to Japan before. Looking at Tokyo (then having to get to/from Marine Stadium), Nagoya (then...
