    Points Club member - child

    I was pondering whether any AFF members had children (under 18) who were Points Club members. Obviously credit card earning is not possible but there are other ways to earn points, with some hard graft, that could potentially mean entry to Points Club. The key benefit I am looking for from it...

    SC run - transit in AKL query

    I've got a SC run booked for early next month. MEL-SYD-AKL on one ticket and AKL-SYD-MEL on another ticket. In theory I should be able to make the return flight as I am catching the turn around flight but only if I can transit in AKL and I don't have to clear immigration and I can get QF to...

    Credit card chargebacks

    Looking for some feedback from the AFF brains trust on credit card charge backs due to COVID. Have any of you needed to go down this method to try and receive a refund for goods/ services you haven't received? Has it been successful? I have read, anecdotally, that chargebacks are less successful...

    Stuck in quarantine.....where would you be?

    I saw this thread over at Flyertalk and thought it might be a bit fun here too. So you are stuck in quarantine for the next 14 days. You can't leave your room/villa and all you can get is room service and mini bar. You can go on the balcony or in your private pool if you have one ;) Where...

    BA flying to MEL?

    A short article on God Save the Points discussing the potential of BA flying their A350 to MEL. Another OneWorld option out of MEL would certainly be good. https://www.godsavethepoints.com/rumor-british-airways-melbourne-australia-service/

    New Istanbul Airport processing time

    If anyone has been through the new Istanbul airport, I would interested to know how long it took on arrival and departure? How crowded you found it and how long it took to get from plane to luggage? Heading there in just over a month so trying to get a sense of what it is like.

    Points earning on food and beverages

    We recently stayed at St Regis KL and I booked the accommodation via Qantas Hotels as the rate was significantly cheaper than direct with Marriott. I understand that the room charges, as not booked direct, will not earn any points. Does this mean that the food and beverage charges (eg...

    Bali and beyond

    Although not as exotic as some of the trip reports being written up at the moment, I thought I would add to the fray with a trip report on our impending Christmas break holiday. With all offices ‘closing’ for the Gentleman, MasterC and myself, I thought it was a good opportunity for us to...
