It would have been 2 weeks last week. Weird situation. My son just confirmed with SQ and CA last week. I suspect it will come out in a reconciliation and they'll suddenly throw a big tantrum and want to know why I haven't "paid".

Taxes all paid too. The reservations is for my son and his partner - he said they confirmed with the respective airlines they've got seats. MilesPlus messed up for a couple of weeks last year when I cancelled a booking, bought same amount of points then spent the whole lot. For those 2 weeks I...

One more thing thing might help some folks: I don't think the support email address receiving anything that I sent via my <somebody> at live dot com email address. No screenshots, passport scans or itinerary request. However they did get all of those things when sent via <somebody> at gmail dot...

When do Lifemiles points get deducted after a successful offline booking? I did the common screenshot method of booking. I was asked to pay the reservation fee of $25 per passenger - that's done. I have received the itineraries. But the points have not been deducted. It's making me suspicious :(...

Been trying to book either to/from SYD YVR or YMQ or NYC for travel in September 2018. Like many MilesPlus members I want to lock it in before the devaluation. There are no UA options that far out - only partners. AC was showing lots of J availability earlier this week and it looked good until...

I'm undecided whether to take the plunge with the current LM offer. I have no existing points with it. My main interest is one-way J SYD to East Coast USA or Eastern Canada, mid-2018. However I could not a single date that was not "sold out". Just for an experiment, I tried dates this year and...

In case it's useful for anybody else, I enquired with MilesPlus customer service whether they will provide complimentary hotel accommodation if they only provide route options with long layovers. The answer is "no". This cam about because I'm trying to plan a trip from Sydney to Montreal or...

Sorry I don't know, I never tried it and they've expired now.

I know this is rather specific scenario, but I'll post the update in case it's helfpul to anybody else. I called Skywards customer assistance today and asked them to give me a definitive answer. It was worthwhile - the info I received a few days ago was wrong. The booking window for reward...

The key here is "soon expiring". I'm looking to use the points rather than let them expire. However, going on a needlessly long trip for the sake of it isn't appealing either. Likewise paying $ for connecting flights doesn't stack up, just for the sake of burning some points. The next option is...

I just tried to use some soon-expiring Skywards points to book a reward flight SYD-DPS, for June next year. This isn't available via the booking engine - it only allows me to fly Sydney-Denpasar via Bangkok, for 0.5 million points (thanks for the offer ...!). When I called to try and make an...

I can't get a definitive answer from either Emirates or Jetstar customer support on this... If I use Skywards points to fly Jetstar "J" (say SYD to DPS), do I get Jetstar lounge access? Jetstar customer support says I have to purchase a "max pack" to get lounge access, but they could not say...

I received the 2x lounge passes ages ago, but don't want to pay for flights with the Citi Emirates card ('cause it's gone). Terms of use state that I can only use the lounge passes if I pay for the flights with my Citi Emirates card. So here's my question: if I turn up at the lounge with my...

Great thanks for that, I will investigate.

I was just following the original thread about Skywards...no QF involved in this transaction. Already extended to the max as far as I know by making the reservation a few days before expiration, for a travel date at the end of the maximum booking horizon.

Economy to business, but too long ago to remember the actual sub-class codes. Actually I think it may be 3 hours officially. The worst example was never being told at all - my wife pointed out that we had "Business" tags attached to our luggage after checkin. Emirates claims they will advise...

When requesting an upgrade on MH, is it confirmed immediately upon booking? The QF experience of not being confirmed until an hour before the flight is completely unacceptable to me, even if the upgrade is requested a year in advance.

The Citibank Emirates Platinum Mastercard has one comp limo trip to local airport per year, and one free lounge pass (for two people) per year. That's pretty sweet and more than pays for my card fee, as long as I actually use the benefits. However, I discovered only recently that the limo is...

Hi, I'm late to this discussion but had a similar issue with 250k pts. I had planned to pay for economy and use points for upgrade on a return European trip. I booked and paid for the economy flights the first day they were available (nearly a year in advance) but could not get any upgrades on...

Hi, Are there any credit cards other than Amex that can be used to feed into the Enrich program? I have an Amex now, but planning to ditch it by the next renewal as too many online services will not accept it. thanks
