I already have Star Gold status with United. Is it possible to select Aeroplan as the Status Partner to get the 50k bonus points but at the same time choose not to get Aeroplan status and instead get the 40k Star Alliance points? That way I could get 82k airline points, but no status which I...

In the past I always paid my charge card just before the next statement, usually about 2 weeks after the due date. Never had any problems. Since a few months I get hit with late payment fees even f I pay just a few days after the due date. Has there been a policy change regarding the grace...

Is the Luxury Escapes stetement credit triggered by purchasing one of their gift cards?

Excellent, thanks. The T&C say 6-8 weeks and that appeared a bit long.

How long after spending 2k do you get the complimentary night certificate?

My understanding is that the $250 need to be spent before starting the trip. Assume you start a trip and then need the insurance before you have actually spent $250, would they accept, "Oh, but I was just about to spend the money tomorrow"? I think not. Most of my hotel stays are only paid at...

I received a nice looking envelope with two black Amex luggage tags and a list of travel "enhancements" which includes a major devaluation of the provided insurance: - Insurance now requires $250 spend on a return trip to be activated - Cover for dependent children went down from $1,000,000 to...

Only 1 week left to get the bonus points! By using my referral link, you will get 110,000 bonus points if you spend $1500 in the first 2 months of card membership (I will get 20,000 points for the referral): http://amex.com.au/refer/janewO2Ab One excellent use of the bonus points is to...

The told me the requirement for getting Platinum status is one eligible stay between April 2015 and April 2016.

I'm not sure if these benefits have been mentioned yet: Marriott Gold (Lounge access, free breakfast) by linking SPG Gold: Link Accounts | Marriott Rewards, SPG & The Ritz-Carlton Rewards SQ Elite Gold (Star Alliance Gold) by linking Shangri La Diamond plus one eligible flight (e.g...

Totally agree, what a joke. A year ago, you could check and even book multiple free nights, despite having only one available. Now you cannot even check anymore once you have booked one. Thanks M@rcoPolo, I've sent you a pm.

I'm thinking of renewing my Accor Plus membership, but I would only do it now if there is a free night available at a particular hotel/date. Accor Plus is most unhelpful and are telling me I can only check availability if I renew first :rolleyes: Would anyone here who is a member be able to...

Isn't the $150 Amex offer only for online purchases at langtons.com.au? How can you combine it with a purchase using the broker?

Ok thanks! I just booked a business class return SYD-AKL for $600 on LAN. Of course not nearly as good as EK first, but still lie flat.

What's the deal???

Regarding the three Qantas bookings, please keep in mind that if you tick the Qantas Carbon Offset, it results in a separate charge to your card. So if you only have two flights during the promotion period, you should do the carbon offset once and you will get your 20% back. If you have three...

Great summary, thanks! I think the Qantas Club is not for member and sup but only for one. Or is that covered by Emirates Gold? Also the Reserve Card has either hotel or flight, not both.

New benefit A new benefit: one complimentary night at Belmond hotels (former Orient Express). There are some blackout dates and a small number of hotels are not participating, but depending on where you spend it, this can be worth up to $8000.

I just called one of my credit cards. They said that everytime an overseas purchase is made or reversed they are charged a fee and they are passing on that fee to the customer. Also since the original transaction was more than four months ago, they cannot do anything. They gave me a small one...

Is only Amex doing this or also Visa/Master and bank issued Amex cards? If they don't charge the 6% fee for refunds, then that's a reason for me to cancel Amex and to get a card that doesn't charge it. Just the other day I was charged around $300 of these Amex 6% cancellation fees for reversing...
