    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I called up yesterday to enquire. They said they couldn't see the availability on their system. I logged in and could see the exact same booking with availability (ICN-MEL and ICN-SIN and SIN-MEL) all with availability for 4 pax. Screenshot it and sent it to them. The operator said he'd have to...

    So I had this exact situation again when doing a Stopover trip ICN-MEL with stopover in SIN. ICN-SIN was Labelled as Reserved but SIN-MEL was labelled as Waitlisted. I re-did booking and it happened again, then I remember this happened to me before. I checked those 2 legs seperately and both...

    New Amex redemption rates for SQ/EK; adding transfers to QR/HA

    I've got Business Ascent and it received devaluation mid-late 2022 for Business Ascent. It was KF 3:2 to 2:1. So I assume they can't devalue Business Ascent again this soon. It most likely will apply to normal Ascent and what other consumer/personal cards. Will need to wait for more info...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Quick question. I am not transiting but already staying in Singapore. My flight is SQ207 0745 departure. I really don't want the hassle of waking up around 3-4am, checking out and taking taxi to airport that early. I know there is the Crowne hotel outside terminal, but I just want to roll out of...

    Best lounge in Melbourne for an SQ F flight?

    No, it's completely seperate bookings. Manged to find SQ R from SYD at time of booking as MEL didn't have A380 yet so decided to book via SYD then booked VA MEL-SYD. Then a month later they bring A380 back to MEL but already booked MEL-SYD so didn't bother changing. Never flown internatonal at...

    Best lounge in Melbourne for an SQ F flight?

    Sorry meant to just ask about SYD lounges specifically. I do have amex and priority pass, which I should have mentioned in my post 🤦‍♂️. VA MEL-SYD Arr 10.55 SQ SYD-SIN Dep 15.00. I probably didn't calculate all the bits and bobs between arrival and depature, so 4hrs was probably a bit...

    New TRS rules? Goods no longer included in cap?

    Ahhh! I didn't even notice the difference in wording, but that does leave a lot up to the officers interpretation and your debating skills at arrivals if anyone ever gets checked.

    Best lounge in Melbourne for an SQ F flight?

    Sorry to hijack his thread but I guess others would find the extra info helpful. I'm flying via MEL-SYD then SYD-SIN on SQ F and have a good 4 hrs at the airport before the flight so are there any other lounges to visit?

    RewardPay Alternatives

    Hmmm, so the they don't go by the biller code? because previous post said PL can go by biller code too. Currently using a Wholesaler Amex card charging 0.95% with a 1 point/$1 earn rate and 3:2 transfer rate to QF and 2:1 rate to SQ (was 3:2 before July 22). Now they are increasing the...

    RewardPay Alternatives

    So if you have a personal amex plat card, how does Sniip know what is personal vs business payment? If you are regularly doing 6 figure monthly payments on the personal card, would that eventually flag it on their end?

    Champion. Don't know why I didn't read that error properly. Took a couple tries of updating all at once before submitting for it to actually work, but got there in the end. 1674175144 For some reason it was only allowing me to expand 1 nominee at a time to update and this way wouldn't work...

    How does one update your redemption nomiees passport info? Most of mine have expired passport info in my profile and everytime I try to update and submit the details, it doesn't update and shows this error. I've always had this issue for the past few years. "Our system has identified that...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I would assume 99% chance of not converting when searching these flights. i.e if you search flights and see it waitlisted, assume you won't get it confirmed. Depends on route though. I've waitlisted many MEL-SIN and SIN-MEL without any converting. I waitlisted SGN-SIN and vice versa and had a...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    So I received a call from SQ call centre at about 8-9pm AEST about a schedule change for my flight in June 2023 in First. Really hard to understand what was going on as I was at a wedding and I asked what was the plane change going to be and she said she will have to find out and put me on hold...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    So I just tried to book DPS-MEL (advantage 4 adults 2 children) with a stopover in SIN for few days but instead of allowing me to select seats and pay, it immediately went to a Waitlist redemption. Thought I accidentally did something so I cancelled the waitlist and redid the entire process of...

    New TRS rules? Goods no longer included in cap?

    Missus had claimed clothing and shoes at TRS, over the $900 limit. Agent was nice and friendly and it was quiet as it was only 7am. No hint that we would get flagged on way home. Missus says they will usually photocopy invoice if they want to check you on arrival back in country, which didn't...
