Yeh it's pretty unbelievable, I wish I had of got onto it sooner. Still probably worth buying points, I just need to make sure I'll get value from hotels I need to book post the increase.

Residence Inn Breckenridge for mid January next year is the one I don't have confirmed (140k for 5 nights). Moving from cat 5 to 6 making it not as worthwhile. I already have a confirmed booking at anouther ski hotel over new years which is 100k for 5 nights. Given the price is nearly $750 AUD...

Yeh it's my bad for not noticing. I just didn't realise it until a colleague mentioned the increase to me today. I found an alternative option but it's nowhere near as good of a burn rate. Hotels during peak ski season seem to be a really good use of points!!

Praying I have the Marriott gods on my side then as I just realised that a hotel I was slightly off on points for which I hold an advance booking on for is changing categories on the 4th :eek: If I don't get them in the next 24 hours it goes up 60k points for the entire booking making it a bad...

I wish.. all east coast Red e-Deals so the total haul is 760SC's.

AA sectors are never a problem, I just use the Qantas seat selection on QF marketed AA flights or the AA site on AA marketed flights. The issue is selecting seats on AA marketed, QF operated flights where seat selection has to be done with Qantas. It throws an error at the end of seat selection...

Should be the same earning for both. Bonus for status only applies to points. The only warning I'd give is that my partner and I have booked Qantas metal via AA a number of times and have had problems with seat selection on Qantas flights where seats can't be selected prior to check in and...

Thanks for this, just booked this itinerary but staying for a week (Sat-Sat) with missus. Both of us will smash through platinum by a couple of hundred SC's.

My girlfriend and I were both allowed in on Tuesday evening (I was flying though she was not), this was at ~10:30pm so I'm not sure how much that the time factored into this.

Good Idea and I'll make sure not to post any more details about me, that's what I would think is the best way to do it too (not that I would) - Just change their Qantas address and I can forward any Qantas mail onto them...

Firstly I'd just like to thank the community here for the great content that gets posted, I've learnt so much from reading both this site and the Flyertalk forums over the past few months :) To give you some background I signed up for the Frequent Flyer program in January, I am currently gold...
