    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Yes. I did use the Dell discounts (2x$100) and the 2 lounge passes so that was something. They would need to pay me to use the Australian subscription :)

    Qantas Award ticket on EK - Denied Boarding GLA-DXB-BNE-SYD !

    This happened on Thursday when I checked in at GLA for my QF J booking on EK to SYD via DXB and BNE. The EK story was that the QLD government won’t let Emirates drop off passengers that transit BNE for interstate flights (intrastate ok apparently). The EK position contradicts with the QLD...
