    How long for a points transfer from Citi to Velocity?

    Hi All! It has been a few years since I last did a points transfer from Citi to Virgin Velocity. Previously the points have shown up in Velocity within a day or two. I transferred points over 2 weeks ago and they have still not shown up. Can anyone let me know how long it has taken for your...

    Altitude Black Annual Fee Reduction

    My annual fee was due this week. I called to tell them I was cancelling the card due to the fee. The lady on the phone said they didn't want to lose my business, and she would speak to the relevant department to see if she could get the fee reduced or waived. She seemed confident of getting it...

We are transiting for 13 hours, and have stayed in the airside hotel (Dubai International Hotel). We fly out later today on Royal Jordanian in Business Class, to Tel Aviv via Amman (baggage...

    Citi Select (post March 2013) - ? worth $700 annual fee

    The main purpose of my call to pinpoint last week was to enquire re the complimentary hotel room as we want to use it on an upcoming round the world trip. I decided to call as all the hotels listed on the citi website show availability up until March 31st only. The pinpoint operator said...

    Citi Select (post March 2013) - ? worth $700 annual fee

    I don't normally look through the General Credit Cards forum, and hence was out of the loop re this. I certainly do use the card for that purpose, just not over the past month. Such a pity... as the Select card was my go to card for just about everything. Time for a re-think.

    Citibank Price Match Guarantee

    I've never used the Price Match Guarantee (PMG), and was actually asking the Pinpoint operator about it as it is one feature of the card that I hadn't bothered to look into. He basically said that it was brought in when the option to voluntarily redeem points to QFF was removed (as opposed to...

    Qantas Flight Change Notification

    Sorry. Typo on my part. Let me try again: New Details Flight: IB3315 Dep: TLV 16:00 Arr: MAD 21:35 Est Journey Time: 6 hours, 35 mins. So it leaves 45 minutes earlier, and arrives 20 minutes later.

    Planning a holiday on QFF points - Business or First?

    Oh no I wasn't walking down the aisle - just a guest sitting in the church with a mind dreaming of travel. Yes, I think you are correct in saying that your problem is the transits being counted as stopovers. As has been suggested to you, your only option may be the operator assisted booking...

    Planning a holiday on QFF points - Business or First?

    I don't believe there are any direct flights between DXB and TLV (or AUH-TLV either). So we are thinking of stopping over in Amman for a few days and going to see Petra. One of those "while we are there we may as well" kind of things. We kept this leg off the OneWorld award so as to maximise the...

    Planning a holiday on QFF points - Business or First?

    Thanks. Your FTDashboard.net tip helped in deciding that route, with the aim of maximising the chance of NewFirst. And getting 2 x F seats on many CX routes was difficult, but there was plenty of availability ex JNB.

    Planning a holiday on QFF points - Business or First?

    The first leg of this journey will be Sydney to somewhere in Europe. We are pretty flexible with where our European entry point is. I am trying to determine which flights with OneWorld carrier have first class cabins, and if they are available (ever) via award redemption. Looking around Aug...

    Ok, decision made - First Class it is! I've been trying to find a link or listing of which carriers in the OneWorld group have First Class cabins, and which routes have First Class cabins available. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Citibank Dining - Free Wine Offer

    After leaving some (constructive) feedback on the Criniti's website 'feedback' form yesterday, I received a call from a Criniti's manager last night. He apologised for the mix-up and said that they are definitely still part of the Citibank dining program. He also said that he would be speaking...
