    Commonwealth Award Points to Qantas Ratio??

    All my transactions with Centrebet.com so far have not attracted a surcharge. The amount I deposit (and able to wager with) is exactly the amount that appears on my statement. But I do not think this earns points, as my previous months points earned were only about two thirds of the amount...

    AA Platinum Challenge - Tips

    Completed my Plat Challenge on 10 July, and I finally got my new card in the mail today (08 August). :D The whole kit looked a little "budget" though. The welcome letter was printed inside the first page of the booklet, and the card attached to the inside of the rear cover. I was expecting...

    Changing FF number from QF to AA in the lounge

    Should the FF number always show as "<Airline you're taking>- AAxx_xx_" as compared to "American Airlines - AA xx_xx_", even when you've completed the Plat challenge and want to credit flights on say, QF to AAdvantage?

    AA Platinum Challenge - Tips

    I have finally completed my AA Platinum Challenge via a roundtrip on BA WT+ from SYD-SIN. The miles are in my account and status shows "Platinum". Many thanks to Dave for starting this very helpful thread. :D Also, as I'll be travelling before my new card comes, will a print out of my AA...

    Possibly a stupid question re: QC Bronze to QC Silver

    Yes, you will still get the complimentary invitation to the QP regardless. It comes withe the PS kit, attached to the bottom of the welcome letter. I think the best use of it is to invite the extra guest into QP when you're travelling in a trio.

    AA Platinum Challenge - Tips

    Just completed the first part of my AA Plat Challenge, SYD-SIN, 23 June, booked in BA WT+. Did the online check in on the morning of the departure, and was disappointed to see my aisle seat replaced with a middle seat. Well that changed quickly when i saw that the row number had changed as...

    Slightly OT, but do deposits on internet gambling sites like Centrebet or Ladbrokes earn CBA points?

    Are fares usually cheaper on AA.com ??

    Thanks for your advice Dave. Successfully booked a MEL-SYD flight on aa.com, called Qantas to add my FF number, then upgraded it. Business Class for a mere AUD 116 + 8000 points. But not before chilling at the QP courtesy of the AA Plat Challenge. Man you gotta love AA! :D

    AA Platinum Challenge - Tips

    How long do points for flights on BA take to post to my AAdvantage account? I become AA Plat on Monday morning 10 June, arriving in SYD on BA15 from SIN. Will probably be hopping on the 21:45 QF188 to MEL. Should the points get posted to my AA account on the same day, is it suffice for me...

    Temporary Card

    Does this mean non-QP members travelling in Business Class on domestic legs of international flights (itinerary solely within Austraila) get QP access?

    Whats Better BA or QF Metal?

    Slightly better catering on QF I think. And the ice cream is a nice touch. Slightly OT, do excess baggage privilieges for PS/QC apply when flying QF codeshare on BA metal on the Kangaroo route?

    Upgrade to "U"

    Was figuring how to find out U availibilty for a MEL-SYD flight. So I just called Qantas and they told me. :) I then made a booking for the time they said U was availible. And lo and behold, it worked. :D

    AA Platinum Challenge - Tips

    Thank you for you advise Dave. I am currently QF PS. When I get AA Plat, will I be recognised as emerald by QF when flying on them and giving only my QFF number? Eg, must I show the AA Plat card to enter QP as it may not appear on my boarding pass? I still want points credited to my QF...

    AA Platinum Challenge - Tips

    This sounds almost too good to be true. :D I'll be flying to from SYD to SIN for a week and back in July, on BA WT+. So if I sign up for AAdvantage and register for the Plat challenge, I'll be AA Plat/oneworld Sapphire by the time i get back to SYD? And I can use the QP when flying QF...

    Yup. I misread the title. I stand corrected.

    QC Silver vs. QC Bronze

    Free excess baggage, 10kg for international or 1 piece for Domestic/US flights. I've already saved well over $200 in what would have been excess baggage charge.
