Thanks very much for the info. I’ve always travelled with a Qantas club member even when I’ve travelled business domestically so I just assumed. Good to know I can access the business lounge without QC. Lol.

I’ll be flying Qantas Business Class internationally for the first time ever in a few weeks. Just wanted to check if the business class ticket automatically entitles me to access the Qantas international business lounge or do I need a Qantas club membership in addition to the ticket (like on...

Very lucky! Haha. I am having so such luck - I think they’ve blocked savers on the new product for now and foreseeable future I imagine before they roll them out more widely. I am having trouble even getting the old suites for all legs of my flight.

This is likely to be a long shot but has anyone managed to redeem "Saver" tix for the new Suites product? All I see when I check it out are "Advantage" redemptions.

Maybe try again with a different CSR. When I rang to cancel my Platinum Charge, the CSR told me "oh, the computer won't let me cancel the card until I make you an offer of 23,000 MR points for you stay" but I wanted to cancel anyway and 23,000 was not going to offset the $1200 annual fee. So, my...

Hi Guys, just thought I would provide some details of my recent experience of applying for the Explorer when I also held a Platinum Charge (which I was going to cancel anyway) and applied for the Explorer. Another thread on this issue suggested that when you activate the Explorer it...

Guys - just wanted to share my experience. I had a Platinum Charge (which I was going to cancel anyway) and applied for the Explorer. After reading this thread, I called AMEX to de-link the rewards program from the Charge. Whilst the de-linking was processed, the CSR did not register my...

So, I was wondering if anyone has experienced this. I applied for an got approved for the Explorer. When I registered it, it automatically tied itself to my Ascent rewards program. I rang AMEX to have it de-linked and to set it up with its own rewards program (cos I was cancelling the other...

Haha. Yeah, I decided to just call them. The guy on the phone just pushed through my approval. Took 2 minutes. All done. Haha.

Out of curiosity, I was wondering how long it took for you guys to be approved? I put in an application on Tuesday and have not heard anything. I know the confirmation says 5 - 10 days working days, but I usually get notified within 24 hours or so. Also, if they approve me after 15 May, would...

Awesome reviews, boomy!

Thanks guys for the amazing info. Really looking forward to the experience. Silly question about the chauffeur service, is it just from my place to the airport? Does it also cover LHR to my hotel?

Hey Bam71, not to worry. Yes, I am on the A380. I can report back on my experience after I fly.

Hey all I have the good fortune to be travelling F to London in a few months - will be my very first time with Etihad! Anyone with experience travelling F who can offer me some advice on how to maximise the experience? Cheers

Got my Velocity Plat, and it's a really good card. I can't add much more to what's already been said about it. Just wanted to throw my referral link in for consideration by anyone still thinking of applying! I'll be super grateful! http://amex.com.au/refer/duydY9au

Had a truly, truly coughpy day at work today... but then I opened AMEX app and saw a bonus 60,000 points! To the awesome person who used my link, you won't know how much that lifted my spirits. Thank you thank you thank you. Here's my link again if anyone is still considering applying...

Thanks guys - I switched my flight to SQ222 - mostly for time convenience. The ticket listed an A380 - so suites! :)

Next trip for me - March - only 7.5 months away. But that's waaaaay too long. Thank goodness there's Christmas and New Year and shorter domestic trips in between.

Last time I went they forgot to give me the toast with the caviar. Haha. Make sure you ask for that otherwise it's just a spoonful of caviar and condiments.

If you log in and it's available for selection, then it's a available for your flight regardless of time. :)
