Also gets Hilton Diamond and you can gift your Qantas club membership to any subsidiary card.

Got through to the passengers names for 5 x J BNE-SYD-LHR for just before Christmas. Kept crashing after entering all passenger details (page before payment). Did the same for all available days through to 26th. Spent 1.5 hours on the phone as WP. Lady said they still haven't released the...

Thanks for this. Was just about to book but if they treat the Diamond this bad I'll book somewhere else. Gotten sick of rewarding hotels for terrible service and not delivering benefits they should.

I have only tried the new one twice with contactless and that was overseas and neither worked. No problems with inserting them though. My old one didn't work on the machine with Marriott Brisbane at Christmas and I asked why did they need it when its on file and prepaid anyway. They avoided the...

I just bank them and transfer to SQ when there is a bonus on or I need them for flights.

We collect them along with all the toiletries from the hotels and then we give them to a charity through the girl's school that makes up little packs for Abused Women's shelters. The little pampering that is in them makes those poor women feel good about themselves for a little, even if it is...

In some ways this has all worked to our benefit. After burning a few million points last year (2 rooms for 10 days at RC Bachelor Gulch (Xmas and NYE), 2 rooms for 10 days at St Regis Aspen and 3 rooms for 5 days at Westin Snowmass + Missus & 2 boys flew QF first class BNE to Denver and back)...

Same on so many ones but this in particular. I just booked EK F BNE-MEL-DBX-AMS and SQ F CDG-SIN-SYD for my parents for the 50th anniversary present. Friends of theirs ended up deciding to join them on a river cruise and trying to explain to them why (and what was APD). Especially the couple who...

Is this real or bs?

I have had a few calls from them and done a survey about improving it. All stages I told them the points earn and conversion went from being great to being coughe. I have been given lots of "guarantees" but have a lot of doubt. I have just moved about half over to b2bpay with the Amex Explorer...

We have had a TID annual policy for a few years now. About $1000 with nil excess and snow sports. Have claimed lost luggage and flight changes no problems but was always worried how they would be if it was something significant. My Wife just broke her ankle skiing in Whistler 2 weeks ago. They...

I have used bad TA's, I have used supposedly top corporate TA's who really weren't and I have tried the supposed Creme da la creme before I gave up and tried myself. I ended up flying all 6 of us business class and staying at 5 star places for half the price of what the TA's were doing Premium...

I am doing the AA fare for a conference next year, crediting to BA. QF Y BNE-SYD AA J SYD-LAX-CLT-SFO-PHL-LGA Total 1240 TP and 20 SC Price: $5815.36

Shhhhh!!! Wait until I have booked mine. :)

AA72/AA73 SYD-LAX Main Cabin Extra. I don't fly economy internationally as my knees and back couldn't handle it, but my upgrades didn't come through so stuck in row 17 for both legs. As AA ExP, MCE selection is free. Surprisingly, I found it very comfortable. Even with the person in front...

This is a very timely thread as we have had this discussion a lot lately. I have been maintain QF WP and AA ExP for the last couple of years and predominately use AA FF# on any J international travel or US Y travel and QF FF# on AA dom J or QF dom Y. Since the demise of AA F to AA J, it has made...

Just saw that you can Best Rate Guarantee (BRG) against a 4 for 3 night booking. Look at the bottom of this page https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/starwood-starwood-preferred-guest/1812095-spg-best-rate-guarantee-brg-2017-success-failure-discussion-thread-9.html For those that thought it is one...

For those that didn't see the flyertalk post. LAX-SYD on VA/DL for $2720 over Christmas - FlyerTalk Forums Full credit to OP.

Pretty much. I looked for the catch and there isn't one. The voucher is pretty easy to use in most place. You can also upgrade the room with $$ difference (surprisingly not to bad). Have a look on Marriott and do it for a 7 day period with points for where you want to go and you will see how...
