    Amex Platinum Charge 120K bonus points (increased annual fee+travel credit)

    I recall that in the past you’d still get bonus points for the charge card if you had a credit card, or get the QFF bonus points if you only had a Velocity earning Amex issued card, or get points on a personal card if holding a corporate card. The new fine print now reads that any AmEx issued...

    $0 Annual Fee for Life on Citi Platinum/Signature CC Complimentary Insurance

    So both my partner and I had Priority Pass memberships (main and supplementary card). In January the supplementary card's Priority Pass didn't turn up in the mail and when I called Priority Pass I was told that Citibank had cancelled the card back in August with a note saying "no priority pass...

    Macquarie Bank takes over from HSBC

    Same here. Already changed all payments. Increased annual fee and fees for paper statements - no thank you. I wonder if HSBC would be willing to transfer the account to one of their cards with a nice offer. I don't need another credit check on my file though.

    German prepaid simcard for data and calls

    never heard of Blauworld, they must be a virtual operator. tmobile and vodafone are 1 and 2 - better coverage and speed (and more expensive). They don't have shops at FRA I think. I like the fact that you can get a postpaid plan with o2 which is free when you don't use it. And when you do, it...

    German prepaid simcard for data and calls

    Hi, I just checked the FRA Airport App and according to it there's an Base/e-plus store in T1 on level 0 and an O2-Shop in T1 on Level 1. Not sure where you're arriving but even if it's T2 it is very easy to get from one terminal to the other using the sky train

    Is it possible to request an early issue of Gold membership card

    Does that mean if you book a flight before your assessment date and don't requalify, that your BP will still show your higher status and you might be able to use your status benefits such as seat selection, extra luggage allowance, lounge access etc?

    $0 Annual Fee for Life on Citi Platinum/Signature CC Complimentary Insurance

    Wasn't going to apply for the card since I don't satisfy the residency requirement (I'm on a long term stay business visa). However thought I'll ask in store and was told that I should apply and if I satisfy all other requirements I'll likely be approved. So I applied for the Signature Card at...

    Qantas HK Lounge

    I transited through HK on 8 January. I'm Gold and used the Bridge and then moved over to the QF lounge closer to the flight (it is opposite the gate the flight was leaving from). Have to say the Bridge is way better than the QF lounge in HK. Didn't check out other lounges since had about 3 hours...

    Are you ready?

    Hi, I've been overseas for Christmas and New Year. I used the EDR card at a number of outlets in Singapore, Germany and the UK. The POS never prompted for a PIN. Ticket machines approved transactions without a PIN, shops and restaurants required signing. Didn't try swipe and PIN, it was all chip...

    Has anyone had success with the call-up "Marginal" xASA's?

    Re: MASA post June 2013 I called them up on Tuesday last week (13 August) and booked a return JASA for me and my partner with no issues at all. I said I'd like to book an any seat award booking into the U fare bucket. The CSA knew straight away what I was after and said "if there's classic...

    Can one remain on board on any major 'continuing' flights?

    I didn't think this was possible on flights where some of the passengers leave the flight. I thought they require everyone to deplane for security purposes and once the aircraft is cleared continuing passengers can reboard. Same principle as offloading ones bags if they fail to board. Once...

    German prepaid simcard for data and calls

    Hi, I have an o2 SIM with a plan called o2o (o2 o - Handytarife ohne Grundgebühr und ohne Vertragslaufzeit). I know it's not prepaid but with a minimum spend of €0.00/ month and calls&texts are capped at €50.00/ month it's even better I think - you need a German address though. Data is capped at...

    Changing oneworld crediting FF program mid ticket no longer allowed?

    I had an LH ticketed flight SYD-FRA-SYD with one leg on QF. I had my M&M # on the booking and did a retro claim for the QF leg with QFF. All flights credited to the respective programs without delays or issues.

    I choose not to fly via Dubai. OK, but why ???

    Well you're right re US CBP, hence I choose Asia over US for transiting to Europe. I'd happily buy a QF ticket to Singapore, BKK or HK connecting to BA/ Cathay/ AB/ finnair etc. however QF chooses not to sell those tickets so I'm not using them anymore. In April I was quite happy with the BA 777..

    I am bringing back the BA access through paid Qantas club membership debate.

    For anyone interested, I have my QC membership cancelled and the remaining (32 months) refunded as of 1 April due to the changes related to access when flying BA to Europe
