This page lists a fee for redepositing miles when you fail to show for a redemption booking: https://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/sg/ppsclub-krisflyer/forms-and-fees/service-fees/ That certainly implies you can fail to show and still get the miles refunded, if you pay a fee.

Does anyone know the magic words to make a reward seat redemption on a flight within the UK to/from LHR, on British Airways in business class, happen? I have tried HUACA multiple times to no avail. I have no status. In past years, pre-COVID, I'd have to lodge a 'feedback form' each time for it...

Also new KrisFlyer Gold Lounge opens 20 May 2022: Hopefully that means new TPR is not far away.

This is even better than pre COVID-19. Most agents didn't know the rules. You have given me confidence to try the phone again. My 'request form' has remained unanswered for two months so that's obviously going nowhere.

I personally prefer the Air Canada lounge at FRA to the Senator lounge.

Executive Traveller posted about the TPR in February: Singapore Airlines pushes back opening of new first class lounges It was supposed to open in February 2022, but has been pushed back to an unknown date.

The Global Dining Collection page seems to now only list restaurants in Australia. Did I miss something and Australia became the only country on the globe? https://www.americanexpress.com/au/credit-cards/membership-benefits/access-and-offers/global-dining-collection/explore.html

Kind of: Membership Month | American Express AU If you go to Entertainment tab there is a link - but I think it just takes you to the offers page in your account. But as it's listed publicly, maybe ask on chat if you can get it.

Sure, but every class, every flight, on every day? People must be super keen to travel from Singapore to Sydney. They stop being keen on 1 August 2022 and beyond when there is heaps of availability. No one wants to return to SIN either, as SYD-SIN is wide open. At least to me, the signs...

Every flight, on every day, in every class, to Sydney in June and July 2022 seems to be waitlist only at the moment.

Hmm okay thanks. That's the email I sent my request to, which they responded. But basically said don't email us back. The email signature of the individual says 'Travel & Lifestyle Servicing'. Maybe they just don't like me.

How long have concierge been replying with a no reply email address? Considering the amount of times they mentioned it, they obviously don't want emails anymore.

How far away are you looking? Exactly one year? Sometimes it takes a few days to appear. The theory used to be that they load availability manually.

When I requested a refund for flights, I also asked for the card fee to be refunded. I duly waited 12 weeks, and of course received a refund for the flights only. I then complained to NSW Fair Trading that Qantas didn't refund the card fees. Qantas refunded them two days after Fair Trading...

The Dan Murphy's in Double Bay usually has the more expensive options in stock. Just checked and PH Rare is there, no Krug though. Vintage Cellars is showing a number of stores allowing 'click and collect' for Krug, so I presume they have it in stock. Prince Wine Store has Krug as well.

My attempt today of the old 'cancel and re-activate' yielded the following response:

Check on first day seats are released. In the 24 hours between seeing availability and KF getting back to me, availability vanished! People must be regularly booking for next year.

Yeah earlier this week AFR reported Macquarie was out, but with the proviso that they could be back in when the dust settles after Friday. Brookfield now discussing teaming up with QIC:

It's in Amex's chargeback guide for merchants, American Express Chargeback Codes: What they mean: https://www.americanexpress.com/content/dam/amex/au/en/merchant/static/chargebackcodeguide.pdf

I think the quote from the Queensland Treasurer is of importance:
