    Problems with redemption bookings ?

    I've made two business class redemption saver bookings next year (optimistic ?) but have encountered technical errors when paying (tried multiple credit cards). SQ say they are having IT issues but this has been going on for weeks. Anyone else having trouble ?

    Got 3 bottles of all reds this year (first time for Shiraz!). Decided to pick up some Muscat - anyone tried this before and thoughts about ageing etc ?

    What's going to happen to the Krisflyer card?

    I've been using this card for the ATO and have become accustomed to large amounts of Krisflyer points. Does anyone know what is going to happen once the new bank interchange fee changes come into play later this year ? I can't see the card continuing in its current form - anyone have a...

    TA v online flight booking

    I haven't used a TA for many years but thought that I would dip my toe into the waters for an upcoming J trip to SIN. Pleasantly surprised when the quote on SQ came back slighty cheaper than webprice (around $50 or so). My plan was to try to burn some points and upgrade to suites (as finally...

    Flying Safe - Medics Onboard Qantas

    Back last May I was upstairs on an SQ A380 on the way to the combined surgeons/anaesthetic conference in Singapore when a poor chap arrested. There was no general announcement but simply a tap on the shoulder. They managed to tap the anaesthetist sitting behind me first who then asked for a bit...

    Flying to and across US as a VA WP - past and recent experiences

    Just completed SYD-LAX-LAS in VA J and have to agree -great service but cramped J cabin especially when you have a very large neighbour in the middle row. The bus ride at TBIT was a real eye opener from dodging planes and the Delta airlines Porche Cayenne zooming around! Overall did enjoy the...

    Hi All, I have multiple return waitlisted saver bookings (since October last year) for my parents Singapore to JFK in Suites (for 50th wedding anniversary). Several of these have had their outbound legs confirmed but the return legs have not come through. My parents are getting a bit anxious...

    Award v ASA point requirements

    Hi All, Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but I am looking to go SYD-LA next year. A normal J award is available on the dates I want (just over 200k points) but I was hoping to snag an ASA to earn status credits. The exact same flight, however, is well over 1 million points searching...

    Redemption Nominees

    Hi All, Apologies if this is a silly question but does anyone know if your redemption nominee has to be active at the time the flight is actually taken? I have booked a trip for the in-laws next May but have then had to remove the mother in law from list of nominees to book another trip for my...

    First Class Suites - where is hand luggage stored?

    There are also lockers which the crew will store luggage in for you - they will insist (politely) that everything is either under the bench or in the locker for take off/landing

    AAMI bonus points

    Anyone had any luck with getting bonus points for AAMI insurance ? I have multiple policies up for renewal but am hesitant to renew just yet as on the T&Cs on the amex website it says bonus points only payable for transactions made at www.americanexpress.com.au/aami only (which is the address to...

    New Platinum Card Bonus Partners

    Just had a look at the link- you can only do it once but I suppose you can go once per card. And yes, it is tax deductible!

    Are you going to keep your Amex after all these 'enhancements'

    Citibank select arrived today! Very excited. Will probably hang onto the Plat charge card for another year just to see what sort of value I get out of bonus offers and also to see how the points purchase works out as that could be very useful for SQ redemptions. Will also apply for a Westpac...

    Amex website problems

    Anyone had issues with the Plat Charge card benefits website (accessed after logging into your account) ? I haven't been able to access it for probably a month now despite trying 5 or 6 different computers and browers. Just says redirecting then cannot display this page. Rang Amex and they were...

    "Enhancements" to MR earn on Platinum Card, Reserve & Centurian

    Re: "Enhancements" to Membership Rewards scheme for Platinum Card / Platinum Reserve Will be very interesting to hear what they say about the bus card. As an SQ lovin' dude who gets most of his points from ATO bills, I've been trying to work out the best replacement - anyone used Westpac...
