QF marketed and operated

Trying to allocate seats on an international economy flight as a oneworld Emerald, seat selection initially appears to be free but once you get to the final confirmation screen there is a "price change". Couldn't find a workaround, so asked the Qantas Facebook rep to allocate seats for me.

When I search on those dates I can only see economy class availability for 45,000 each way (-10% platinum discount). The economy flights show up even if I select premium only, which is slightly misleading.

Yes I waited for the ticket to be issued before submitting the request. I also tried cancelling and resubmitting, but it made no difference.

Should domestic upgrades still be confirmed instantly when award seats are available in a higher class? If so are there any caveats like married segments or international connections? I wanted to book a business award NZ - SYD - PER and couldn't despite seats being available on both flights...

Based on availability in October/November next year, I think the answer is the same.

Looks like there is only "flexi award" (double points) availability for 2 seats in December/January, but never 3. But you might be able to get something at the last minute (eg there are currently 3 seats available on PER-HEL every day from Nov 8 - Nov 12).

I note that all those listing their successful redemptions over the last several years have QF Platinum in their profile. I've pretty much given up on using QF points on anything international due to lack of availability. Good suggestion. Since joining QR Privilege Club I've found it easy to...

Would transferring Avios count as activity to avoid them expiring?

They don't want to let me move from Wales to Australia.

Sorry for the late notice but I'm not going to be able to make it tonight, my son is unwell and I think it's best that I stay at home.

I might be able to make it on Sunday - East Perth or the CBD would be best for me.

I saw it on Expertflyer and ITA Matrix but haven't tried to book it. It is coming up a bit more expensive on the Finnair website (~A$2400). And once again it is only originating from Oslo.

No, only from Oslo.

Finnair business class OSL-HEL-SIN return from $2154, books in I class. Must depart from Oslo on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. This fare can be combined with economy fares from Australia on a half-round trip basis, for example PER-MUC in economy, and OSL-SIN in business for $1578...

So I have given up on being local champion at Coles and spent $700 on gift cards today... and this transaction shows up in the local champion app. So there must be a minimum spend required. Bunnings refund policy doesn't bother me, I go there often enough.

Called Amex today and they couldn't really give any reasons why Local Champion isn't working for me. I think I'll have to give up on getting 4 points per dollar on my gift card purchases prior to the devaluation.

Good tip, I'm trying to stock up on gift cards prior to the devaluation but would like to get local champion first if I can. I'll give them a call tomorrow because it's clearly not working.

My Woolworths and Coles transactions aren't showing up on local champion, but my Bunnings transactions are. I can't understand their system at all.

Once you login, the transfer rate shows as 2.5 to 1 for SQ for Signature, which is where the 0.4 comes from.
