Great success. Now sitting in lounge with 2x economy CBR - BNE tickets. I know it’s not the most glamorous use of points but for an urgent family matter it’s nice to know these things can minimise the sting to the hip pocket. May Platinum reward releases…. 🖖

The third was overseas but did manage to put in a request. Gave me the booking reference and said I would get an email if it was successful. Not the same as previous experiences. Gave it 30mins then called back with the reference number and paid points and taxes. Now sent to ticketing.

Currently on hold trying to have some domestic economy seats released for short notice travel. First overseas agent said 'additional release isn't a thing anymore'. Second agent had no idea what I was requesting. Third attempt now and I've been on hold for a much longer period. Hopefully...

Very kind of you. I’ve sent a PM

Although not relevant to the OP’s scenario, as a data point I was able to access the QF First lounge in LAX flying LAX - NAN on an AA ticket on FJ metal with my QF platinum status.

As Gold they will likely receive an upgrade to a better room after any other higher category guests. I've usually found that an upgrade will show up in the app about 24 hours prior. I always like to reach out the hotel 48-24 hours prior letting them know what time I will likely be checking in...

Property: The Westin Brisbane Status: Titanium Dates: 13 - 15 Dec Booked: Standard King Received: King Suite A superior Balcony Suite was showing in the Marriott app before check-in. We arrived at the hotel at 3:20pm and were told our room was not ready (no verbal mention of an upgrade). We...

Hi, Found a relevant thread but now closed. (SQ KF mileage earning), if flying SQ partners, putting in SQ KF # into booking, no earns on some fares V class economy tickets on NZ to Australia and Pacific Islands don't earn SQ miles. I flew NZ10 to HNL last year and incorrectly believed as a...

Reviewed this email this morning. Would have been generated from a phone call request to transfer points about 4 days ago. We'll let you know when/if they land.

Chat agent is telling me at the moment that it is down for maintenance. I've asked the agent specifically about it being removed from the online options but can't get a clear answer yet

Hi all, I tried a few days ago to transfer Amex points to Marriott for a specific redemption. I kept receiving errors so resorted to the web chat. Web chat said they cannot help and that I need to call. The phone operator said points transfer will take 24-48 hours. Received a call back about...

Following up on my December stay. Although the first night was prepaid and the second night a reward stay when the folio was sent to me it revealed I was charged the nightly rate for the first night. The only thing discussed during checkout was the two nights of parking charges. Calling the...

Property: Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park Status: Titanium Dates: 09 - 11 Dec Booked: City View King Room Received: Grand Executive Park View First time here. First night was book via Amex with $100 cash back offer and second night was a 40,000 free night certificate which expires at the end of...

I've spent a bit of time in Majuro but nowhere else on your list of destinations. If you have scope for a trip report, I'd bet many here would read it.

Fast track achieved. Stayed 8 nights in the Holiday Inn Brighton Waterfront. I don't recommend this hotel or the Hilton nearby for that matter. Get off the beach and up the hill if you ever find yourself in Brighton.

Property: Four Points by Sheraton Singapore, Riverview Status: Titanium Dates: 6 - 8 Nov Booked: 2 Twin/Single Bed(s) (why work booked this I have no idea) Received: 2 Twin/Single Bed(s) (probably because they thought I wanted it) Staff were very friendly and acknowledged the status with an...

Property: London Heathrow Courtyard Marriott Status: Titanium Dates: 28 - 30 Oct Booked: King Guest Received: Premier King Quite a good hotel for T2/T3. Traveled to the hotel via the bus transfer which I think cost about 5 pounds. Rooftop bar has excellent runway views for arrivals. F&B credit...

I think serfty has the best answer so far. Only common factor in my case is MCY. Flight up in Qlink with no fee. Flight back is mainline with no fee

Not sure if this belongs in the QF IT gripes thread (like most things) Booked some flights for 2pax in October next year. I am QF WP and these were booked as Classic Reward economy tickets. CBR - MCY on QF1766 (717) - No charge to select exit row - extra legroom seats MCY - MEL on QF919...

Points posted here too too. Looking for good port deals back to Telstra. I don't mind the 24 month contract. JB and the Good Guys have gift cards on offer. Anyone find anything else?
