    Vinomofo Wine Deals

    I scored a bottle of it and 2x bottles of the Schild Magnums. They didn't seem to appear on the main site until they were sold out, I managed to get them because I had the product pages open and just refreshed them.

    China Airlines reward seats using Qantas points

    Interesting - I didn't know there would be a difference. Reason I'm doing it this way is I already have seats I want to keep and not enough points if I make a new booking to book without waiting for the refund. These have taken a long time IME recently and was hoping to book sooner.

    China Airlines reward seats using Qantas points

    Yes I'm used to this - but IME when you are able to click through to the payment page the seats aren't usually phantom. I've had two agents tell me the preceding MEL-SYD flight next year is also unavailable. It's either a system outage or just inexperience..dont know which.

    China Airlines reward seats using Qantas points

    Any tips on getting CI seats through the QF call centres? I've checked the QF website, found availability for next year, called the call centre only to be told a different flight is unavailable each time (despite them acknowledging it showing on the QF site). QF are becoming so hard to deal...

    QF now the 13th most distrusted brand in Australia (Roy Morgan)

    They go around door knocking people, give them vouchers etc as incentive to answer some survey questions.

    Need advice: QF downgraded my class of travel on an award booking by mistake but won't correct it

    Pleased to report someone from the Qantas Reward Escalation Ticketing team (email address provided above by dizz) called me today. Couldn't have been better and more professional in resolving it. All fixed on the spot, no need to go retrieve call recordings. They confirmed that when I added the...

    Need advice: QF downgraded my class of travel on an award booking by mistake but won't correct it

    Thanks dizz have emailed them now. Technically this is outside their scope from my reading their auto reply but I'm hoping they'll fix it anyway. I just dont understand how calling the premium line during business hours leads me to a consultant who can't perform a basic task? Then to make...

    Need advice: QF downgraded my class of travel on an award booking by mistake but won't correct it

    Hi all, I'd really appreciate advice on how best to manage this predicament. Long story short: Had an award booking MEL-SYD-LAX on QF metal in business Rang QF to add additional segments to it - segments were added (could see online and through the app) but not re-ticketed Called QF to get it...

    QF Partner Award Pricing Query

    Thanks! So what you're saying is, I can't change partner airlines?

    QF Partner Award Pricing Query

    Sure :) But can't the same be said for the reverse? i.e. If it qualifies for a Partner award, then it's a Partner award? What exactly is a Partner award then? An award with less than two non-QF airlines? If that's the case, that's fine - but QF need to publish that condition on the site.

    QF Partner Award Pricing Query

    I understand where you're coming from. The bit I'm struggling with is just because it would also qualify for the more expensive OW award, I don't know why that means it precludes me from benefiting from the cheaper Partner award table which it also seems to be eligible for?

    QF Partner Award Pricing Query

    CX105 HKG-MEL diverted to DRW

    Really unfortunate situation. $30 won't go very far with DRW pricing! Hopefully you got to enjoy observing some of the local and foreign military aircraft participating in Diamond Storm at least?

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    I was told by a Premium agent the magic fare bucket is 'Q' for economy seats. If there's Q availability, they will release it. I don't know the accuracy of their advice.

    Hi I’ve just joined out of frustration with QAN FF.

    I've had issues getting points/SCs credited from AY going back to 2011. I've advised both parties numerous times. Looks like to no avail.

    Marriott Travel Packages - What Airline Points to Convert to?

    It was an extra 30k to go from an old Cat 6 to the New Cat 5. It was either take the 30k refund and stick with new Cat 4, or pay an extra 30 and move to new Cat 5.

    Marriott Travel Packages - What Airline Points to Convert to?

    Were you trying to upgrade a new certificate, or an old certificate to a new upgraded certificate? I managed to convert an old Cat 6 certificate +30k points and upgrade it to a new Cat 5 certificate using some instructions found on FT. The key was not to ask for an upgrade, but guide the...
