I generally tend to make my bookings through Amex travel for FHR reservations, or via our travel desk for business related travels. If I don't go through these channels, I make the bookings directly with the hotel or airline to get maximum benefits out of my status. I have been pretty happy...

Hi SQ experts, I've a bit of travel dilemma this year as I've already hit the PPS value required to renew yet have flown relatively very little miles in comparison to other years. Usually, these actual 'miles' once I hit SQ renewal would be flown on Oneworld so I can renew DM with CX but I'm...

Hi all, This is something I discovered while trying to book hotels at the FHR rates, it seems like 'in-room' wifi is now a standard inclusion. Anyone care to comment on whether there's been any updates from RMs or from another source on whether this is an official change? I remember checking...

Just received an email from Amex saying fast track is coming for cardmembers in early 2015 @ SYD. Not a huge benefit if you are always flying J but still nevertheless, its a positive change as you just need to present the card instead of having to hand over the slip each time. Seems like...

Ok something completely weird happened today. I've got 3 personal Amex cards and 2 of them received credit adjustment bonus MR points today for no apparent reason. On the plat edge, I received 15,000 and on the plat charge, 20,000. I'm obviously not complaining but does anyone know what this...

Got a trip to LHR coming up in about a month and looking to stay at the new Shangri-La. Any AFF'ers stayed here before? Looking for room recommendations about views etc. Since it is a new hotel, information seems to be fairly scarce.

Hi Amex gurus, hoping to get some clarification on this. So currently, my Amex personal portfolio is: Platinum charge card Platinum reserve card Platinum edge card At the moment, the charge card and the reserve card is tied to the same MR pool so whatever I spend on either card gets pooled...

I just got off the phone with US DM making a redemption. Booked a HKG-JFK return on CX F for November and as usual, I called in expecting to pay 120k. However the system was pricing the itinerary at 180k which is really weird because it is such a simple itinerary with only 2 flights, no...

At least they are now trying :D Singapore Airlines PPS Club Reserves 120k miles for a go in the A380 simulator! If only they fixed their normal website first though.

I'm not so much of an EY flyer but I just saw their new A380 and 787 products and I'm still in disbelief. Obviously the economics of whether this new product will be successful is a different story but if they have no issues with yield, I believe this sort of product will be a game changer for...

Just got this email from MPO so posted this on FT too but I'm sure some people here also received this email. Anybody have any ideas what this is about? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr xx_X, 25 April 2014 Membership No.: xx_ xx_X xx_ Our new system...

My apologies if a thread already exists for this. Not sure if this has been around before but it seems new? https://www.americanexpress.com/au/content/platinum-rewards-credit-card/?filter=currentoffers It looks like an entry level rewards card with a decent points earn on some types of spends...

Hi all, I just spoke to PTS about making a booking using the $200 credit you get with the Platinum charge card. Each time I call, I seem to be getting some conflicting answers so I thought I'd have a look here and saw some of this issue discussed in the thread that was used to discuss the fee...
