Haha Newk you read my mind... I really just want to have a shower on board... Sad but true.. And for 50K points, I think that makes it worth it no question.

I think it is.. mainly as we want to try the EK F product without spending $15K each to do so. If we like it, then we may well stump up the cash (and miles) for a long haul trip on EK F... This is just a taster really... :-)

Have a strange question, and I can't see that it's been asked yet, so here goes. I'm looking for 2 X F class seats on SYD-AKL in April. At this stage they're showing available as classic awards, but on the EK flight number. When I go to "buy" the seats as paid seats, the search show the QF...

Questions submitted. Thanks to Red Roo, QFF and AFF for the opportunity. Fingers crossed. Oz

So I thought I'd try and be a little crafty as an existing Citi customer, and process a "new" application for Select rather than asking for an upgrade. A couple of days after I completed my application, I got a call from Citi advising me I was approved, but as I already had a very high limit on...

Absolutely correct. I am indeed looking for QF direct as I hold status with them so I want to maintain that (Fly Oneworld ALOT internationally and have a considerable bank of points built up already). The KF rates while I agree are competitive, F class awards are practically non existent on...

I'm very interested in this thread as I'm currently weighing up my options with Citi Signature and Amex Plat charge... I have a good bargaining chip with Citi, in that I could transfer ALL of my spend to them, which is quite substantial. However, I would only do that for a good enticement. I...

Well I'm pleased to report that just over 2 weeks and mine, and my partners shiny new Platinum cards arrived today. I was starting to get very sceptical after reading this thread, especially seeing how many people had indicated they've been declined. Anyway, all good this end. I've even made my...

Thanks Serfty, I have to say this is a BIG oversight on my part. However, the question remains, if the status is only supposed to be for 6 months (unless I have 4 stays) then why oh why did they send me a card that says I have Diamond status until 2014? That seems contradictory. Sure, if it came...

I was also unaware of any conditions about needing 4 stays in 6 months. Given my travel plans for this year, that is VERY unlikely. I will only get 1 x Hilton stay inside the 6 months. Does that mean I"ll be status downgraded after the end of June? :confused: Why send a card saying I have...

I have been credited for a rental in November 2011, but not yet for Dec 2011. I lodged a retro claim via the Velocity website 3 weeks ago, and have not yet heard anything. My balance has NOT increased!! Anyone successfully retro claimed yet? I checked my (faded) Hertz receipt and the Velocity...

My Status was updated after only a few days. My (sodden, thanks Australia Post) HH card arrived yesterday and it says I'm diamond until 03/2014 which I am VERY impressed with. :p:p First nights already booked at Waldorf Hilton London in June..... Looking forward to the benefits.

This is extremely interesting. I think the whole currency conversion thing is a total scam at best. Especially when there are cards our there that don't charge anything. I recently purchased an air ticket on my Amex Charge card and the fees were over $400.... Luckily I saved thousands by doing...

ROFL - this is too true. Always more eyeballing that talking. :shock:

Fantastic report. I'm really interested to try these guys, and I'm also interested in visiting Seoul. Great to see the F product that's on the 777. Did you happen to see the style of F on the 747 between SYD-ICN? reading KE's website it's a little difficult to know what product you'd get...

Nice TR GWilli1. My OH and I will be trying out the DJ J experience on SYD-OOL in a few weeks, and I'm really looking forward to it. After my last few miserable QF experiences I am hoping for good things... Q - did you really get the SYD-BNE-MKY sector for 6900 points + $131? If so that's...

Thought I'd let you all know about my experience with the Platinum team at the Velocity call centre the other day. Before I called, I'd all but completed the online booking for the flights I wanted (SYD-OOL return) for a weekend away. I called up the Platinum line, and spoke to a wonderful...

Do DJ WP not get access to the Etihad F lounges in AUH and LHR?

True enough, but some programmes do offer this. EG VS Flying Club, you earn higher tier point on SQ F than VS J. Well, as one who has taken AAdvantage of the AAvailable extra QF SC by doing this, I can say that it's a double edged sword, as when you want to redeem a miles seat on AA using QF...

Hi All, As eluded to in another thread, I'm currently weighing up the value of my QF WP vs DJ WP, and am looking at the combinations of travel that would help me retain the DJ WP. Looking at the SC earn table, I notice that Business and First both earn the same SCs. That seems a bit stingy to...
