Ozbargain is an interesting place. It's gotten way too big in my opinion, but of course that's because everybody wants the best deals, and who can blame them?.. I just wish I didn't have to compete with so many people for the best bargains. :)

If you have an ozbargain account, you can set it to alert you via email when certain words appear. EG 'statement credit'. I have alerts for 'amex', and get a few emails per day for people selling flights etc, but I never miss out on deals (unless they expire by the time I wake up in the...

Re: PLATINUM EDGE. Now with 15,000 points & $200 Travel Credit My experience in retroactively getting points has been poor (tried with citi once). You may have more luck?

Re: PLATINUM EDGE. Now with 15,000 points & $200 Travel Credit I don't get it?? You don't pay a fee to get more points. Use a referral link to get more points than the standard offer & still pay NO FEE the first year. ;)

Re: PLATINUM EDGE. Now with 15,000 points & $200 Travel Credit Why chose? The current offer via referral is for 15k points plus you are fee free the first year. :-D

Emailed the hotel last night, and it just happened this morning. Very happy of course. Hopefully yours comes through also. I had considered ringing the hotel and asking for a hold on my credit cards (if they didn't want to charge them yet) as I know a hold of over $300 would also trigger the...

Received my two $150 Hilton statement credits just now. Very relieved! :mrgreen:

Good idea. Just did the same :)

OK. Thanks for the heads up. ;)

With any luck we'll both be OK. ;) <crosses fingers>

You're right! I thought I had checked that and read it was the 30th. Having a blonde day today obviously! :oops: Thanks for giving me some hope. :) - I did notice the gift card page mentioned that to allow 24hrs for gift card transactions, so maybe the same applies to pre paid stays? I'll...

Yeah, it's looking like it'll have to be a call to amex to plead my case if the transaction goes through tomorrow or something.

Just checked my account, and it's not in pending transactions yet. Yikes! Guessing that's bad news... ;'(

Just made two 1 night bookings at Hilton melbourne, fully prepaid. No statement credit emails. Eeeek! I know prepaid stays was against the terms of the offer, but I thought others had luck receiving credits back for prepaid stays?

Last day for the hilton offer (spend 300, get 150 back) ;)

So when you do a dummy booking for 4 nights, it says 8,000 points per night? But when you add a night (5 total) it goes up to 10,000 per night?

No doubt. It was my first premium cabin experience, so just went with the flow, but would definitely do that if I flew first again.

Agreed. Our deserts on suites had the hardest ice cream I have ever encountered. Both my partner & I could barely put a dent in the rock that was our ice cream. Interestingly, I found the service to be very rushed. My partner who had flown suites before mentioned it was the same for her last...

Dining on suites was good for sure, but it'd be a real stretch to say it was super fine dining. Great for food in the air, but it's hardly Vue de monde or quay quality food. As for the grog, im largely a non drinker, so yeah - i can't discern $200 bottles from $50 or $100 bottles. :( the key to...

Yeah, even on the plane, i just tried the champaign & from there on it was water.. Probably won't have another drink again this year, so largely it's wasted on me.. :mad:
