Hi all, the older threads on this were locked and I wanted to see if there were more recent experiences. I've got an upcoming YYZ-LAX-SYD trip, YYZ-LAX on Westjet (QF coded) with an approx. 10 hour connection for QF12 LAX-SYD. I'm aware that Westjet will tag my bag through to SYD but with the...

I intended to transfer my remaining Velocity balance to KF by 31 December and store it there, but I luckily had a redemption opportunity on SQ so was able to transfer and redeem before the devaluation of the transfer and KF redemptions! I'm currently based overseas, so the intention was always...

Wanted to see if anyone has experience with this, with the annual fee for my Explorer coming up within a month. I had already used my travel credit before getting my Explorer linked to Ascent and after this happened, my travel credit replenished and is now showing an expiry date of 12 months...

What does everyone think of the chances of getting a refund on the annual fee if one were to push it with Macquarie?

I redeemed a First/Suites Saver flight for SYD-JFK at the end of November 2017. I had numerous itineraries waitlisted from late-November to mid-December for SYD-JFK and SYD-FRA-JFK for First/Suites and Business Saver. My preferred itinerary was for SYD-FRA-JFK, departing Sydney late-November...

I recently flew on SQ242 SYD-SIN in First and SQ26 SIN-(FRA)-JFK in Suites and had BTC on all flights. On SQ242 you could only BTC for the first meal, where I had the roast rack of lamb. Tasty meal but my lamb was cold. On SQ26 from SIN to FRA I had the the Kyo-Kaiseki for supper and poached...

With the Comfort+ upgrade requests, I've had 6/7 sectors with DL cleared as either VA Gold or Silver.

My travel credit showed up correctly but I had to make another call to get the points to show up in Ascent as it still hadn't come over after a few days.

I applied for the Black around 1 November and then approved on the 9th, with no text or email. Called on the 10th to check status of the application and was told I was approved for the Black card with $X limit, which was below the minimum for the Black card and questioned the agent if it was a...

None of the operators I spoke with asked me why.

I certainly wouldn't make a fuss either, the smell of the food being re-heated wafting through the cabin can be very unpleasant to me sometimes. Generally I don't eat the re-heated main in Y and only pick at the re-heated main in J. I do enjoy the mid-flight toasties and pies ex-Aus to LAX in VA...

I've got a SYD-SIN-FRA-JFK itinerary, with SYD-SIN confirmed instantly but still waitlisted for SIN-FRA and FRA-JFK with the departure date within a week.

How does everyone pay via Postbill pay, via the Australia Post app or on their website? Most of my bills have an AMEX/PayPal option and I've only tried the ones that don't with Postbill pay via the app and it's always come up with unsupported when I scan the barcode and I haven't tried...

I got the bonus 5000 points on my Explorer.

I've had one successful referral and it did not send me a notification about the bonus points, I just noticed them in in balance one day. It would also depend on the referral promotion at the time, it maybe be X bonus points for $Y spend in Z days for both parties to get the bonus points. As...

Data point - Success today in linking my Explorer to Ascent after six attempts. Called around 16:30 and got an Australian centre.

I tried for the third time today and not sure if this explanation has been provided to anyone on here before - unable to do it because the travel credits for one or both of the cards won't show up.

Received my Platinum Edge on Friday and I've called twice so far, Friday afternoon and Saturday night, to get my Gateway points transferred to Ascent. Both times I was told it is possible but I would have to forfeit my Gateway points to do it. Hopefully third time lucky!
