Not entirely sure this was on the list of IT improvements we were screaming out for, but my QFF landing page has changed today:

Accor is opening a new 989 room Mercure property in Singapore next month, and it's looking to be a very convenient and reasonably priced option. Accor Plus rates are around SG$235pn inc taxes for later this year. https://all.accor.com/ssr/app/accor/rates/C2S1/index.en.shtml...

Just popped up in my QFF app after midnight. Make sure to register and select the double status credits option instead of points. As a general rule, it's best to wait until after 11am today to make any new bookings. https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/member-offers/twice-as-rewarding.html

https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/817883 Don't have a card to confirm this myself, but several OzB members have commented that the rate is showing on their account. Obviously excellent value and an unexpected improvement while other issuers are devaluing their SQ rate. Hopefully sticks around...

Does anyone have any recent experiences with Qantas spend that has successfully unlocked lounge invites on the Westpac Black? Thinking along the lines of the old Future Planet offsets..

Just stayed at this property last night. They started taking guests about two weeks ago, but there's still some work going on so they're doing a 315++ SGD B&B pre-opening rate. Official open date is early July. Just thought I'd post some pics as the Mondrian is shaping up to be a promising...

Was reading the ALL T&C (as you do) and noticed this clause.. I hadn't heard of this Flight + Hotel portal before and thought it was an interesting opportunity to generate ALL status points, especially when booking family/group flights. $45k total spend would see you reach ALL Platinum from...

Noticed a new Melbourne property loaded in the Accor booking engine today: The Jazz Corner Hotel. https://all.accor.com/hotel/C0J0/index.en.shtml It's on the north side of the CBD, spitting distance to Flagstaff Gardens and Queen Victoria Market. About four blocks walk to Melbourne Central...

I am looking to fly SIN-SYD in a few weeks, unsurprisingly there are no oneworld/JQ awards and cash seats are quite expensive. I'm now looking at LCCs such as Scoot, and wondering if anyone has experience booking a cheap 3K ticket (e.g. SIN-KUL) purely for SIN F lounge access, then no-showing...

Looks like Amex has launched a new Platinum benefit - $200 "Platinum Dining credit" towards a list of global restaurants here: https://www.americanexpress.com/en-au/benefits/diningbenefit/ DETAILS Save this benefit to your Card by 31/12/2024 and spend at participating local restaurants to get...

https://theguardian.com/media/commentisfree/2022/jul/01/qantas-ditches-sky-news-from-airport-lounges-as-abc-takes-flight-on-90th-birthday (The many past threads discussing Sky in lounges seem to be locked so I thought it worth creating a new thread.)

Two of my last four Qantas International J flights have had IFE issues so I'm wondering how widespread these problems are, and thought it would be worth sharing experiences & compensation offered. Apologies if this thread already exists, I looked but couldn't find. Date: 27JUN22 Flight number...

My partner and I both just received variations of the below email: Wondering if this can be used as a defacto Amex Ascent Premium transfer bonus, i.e. transfer in blocks over the next 3 months to get the 20%, or if it needs to be a direct earning card. 🤔

I have a OW J award booked for 2 pax in April 2023. We are both Points Club Plus members so we'll each earn 160 SC from the Qantas flights in the booking. It seems likely that Qantas would run another DSC promo between now and April next year, so I was wondering if anyone can confirm whether...

Wondering if anyone can share experiences with the Qantas past positive medical clearance form. I've recently recovered from the spicy cough and no longer have symptoms but still return a faint positive on RAT tests. I understand this situation to be the exact reason the past positive form...

https://viewfromthewing.com/marriott-eliminating-air-and-hotel-awards-effective-next-wednesday/ Sad to see these go, they were a great way to convert Amex MR into points with exotic FF programs not offered by bank partners in Australia. Get in quick if you were planning to book one...

Since hitting Platinum last week I have received a couple of ALL SNU vouchers expiring 31 Dec 2021. I believe they can be used to book for stays as far in advance as properties will take bookings so am looking to lock these in with some prospective 2022 bookings. I've been doing some research...

Noticed over the weekend that a Q Surcharge appears on some partner award itineraries constructed through multi-city search, but not on the exact same itinerary through the usual one-way/return search found on the QF homepage. I thought this was worthy of sharing as it seems the multi-city...

Just a PSA for anyone holding an Amex card which earns additional points from supermarkets & petrol stations - using a mobile wallet (Google Pay / Apple Pay) at the point of sale may render your transaction ineligible for the additional points. I noticed today that a recent purchase from BP had...

An even bigger bonus than the previous promotion! The American Express Platinum Card needs no introduction, but a quick run down of the main benefits: - No preset spending limit and uncapped earning at a rate of 2.25 MR per dollar spent with a wide range of partner programs and redemption...
