Thanks dajop.

Hi, Newbie here. I was wondering if anyone knew the quickest way to get Kris Flyer Gold status. I’m currently on the basic level. From my research, a return First Class ticket from Sydney to New York on SQ ought to do it, but I’m not sure. Any tips/ideas would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thanks Homer. Have you ever had to claim? Just wondering if it's an arduous process. armanie

Hi, I once read somewhere that Amex Centurion card holders don't need to buy extra insurance when they hire cars overseas, as the Centurion Travel Insurance will cover them. Can any one confirm this? Thanks.

Hi, I received my Plat today. Question is, do you reckon I can keep both the Gold AND Platinum? Two cards = two point caps to max out. :) armanie

I could be wrong?! armanie PS: just realised my typo. Should have been Ascent, instead of Accent. :oops: Haha!

Hi Oz_Mark, Yes I'm a premium card holder and it's the same letter. But I can just see Amex making the Accent Premium program available to other non-premium card holders with a higher joining fee. Hence, IMHO, a grab for more money. armanie

Re: Accent Premium coming! Oh, ok. Thanks. armanie

Accent Premium coming! Hi, I'm not sure if this is old news, but it's new to me. I just received a letter from Amex this morning, saying that Qantas is going to quit the Accent program. Therefore, you will no longer be able to transfer your MR points to QFF. However, if you want to continue...

You know what they say, "Never look a gift horse in the mouth!" :) Thanks for the info every one. armanie

Hi, I was just wondering. I've read that Platinum Charge Card holders are entitled to a free Platinum Credit Card, and therefore a free domestic flight per year. Can any one confirm whether Centurion card holders are entitled to the same thing, considering their fees are about 4 times more...

Thanks for the information. As always, this forum is a wealth of knowledge. Much appreciated. armanie

Hi, I'm interested in getting a Westpac Altitude Mastercard so I can continue to accrue points. I currently have a CBA Platinum Mastercard and fee free for life Citibank Gold visa card, but I've already reached my cap for both, and it's not even half way through the year. I figured I might...

Thanks for your opinions. I guess what I'm trying to ascertain is at what point do Amex consider some one valuable enough to waive the $4300 annual fee? If some one spends say, over $2m per year on their card, is that valuable enough? What do you think? armanie

Hi, After reading about all the successful requests for annual fee waivers, I was just wondering if any one with a Centurion card have had similar success by getting their annual fee waived? Thanks armanie

Thanks everyone for the info. I think I'll get Centurion to do it. They'll be much quicker, and it'll save me a lot of time. Once again, thanks. armanie

Hi, Does anyone know if there is any advantage in using a third party, such as Amex Centurion Travel, to book QFF award flights? Do they have a system which allows them to see available seats over a number of days, or do they have to do what I would have to, and search day by day? I've tried...

Hi Ninja, From my experience of a couple of years ago, Citibank make you pay the amount first then credit you in the next billing cycle. At the time, I had about $2K of unauthorised charges on my credit card. When I rang them, they said the would investigate. During this time, the next billing...

Hi Max_1, You should be able to ring up Kris Flyers and book the seat first, before you have to transfer your points from Amex. I did that last year for my flight SYD-SIN rtn in business class. I needed 4 seats. When I rang up, they put me on wait list for the return flight. I waited until...

Hi, At first, I thought the Centurion service was a bit of a gimmick. However, over time I have found them to be quite indispensable, especially when you're time poor. For example, I've been on holidays with the family a couple of times, and Centurion has organised everything. They organised...
