    Mysterious "Loyalty Bonus Offer"

    Has anyone had this before? Today I received four separate entries in my QFF account called "Loyalty Bonus Offer". Activity date on all four is 24 Nov 2023, with 0 frequent flyer points and 0 status credits attached. No other description or notification. Huh?

    Another triple points offer...

    Another triple points offer, but given that I still haven't been able to take the bookings I made months ago, I'm not booking any further flights let alone holidays until the vaccination rollout catastrophe ends are there is a little more certainty. Our favourite Aussie destinations are...

    With the temporary suspension of the NZ travel bubble, my flights to New Zealand were cancelled and I was automatically rebooked. I want to change those to flights on future dates which would work, but when I click "Change", an Error message comes up with: The system is temporarily unable to...

    CX pricing and availability

    I'm looking at a trip to Europe later in the year and want to look at CX pricing. However the online booking sites rarely show CX and then at extortionate prices, going directly to the CX website yields prices in Economy of between $12,000 and $15,000 for every day to a range of destinations...

    Are meals alone at Hilton properties eligible for HHonors points?

    I've looked at their website and can't find anything on this point - does HHonors have the ability (as there is with SPG) to eat at restaurants at their properties and earn points for those, even if you aren't staying at the hotel?

    QFF offers US Citibank cardholders better transfer options than in AU

    What else to get Virgin Atlantic flights credited?

    In May flew to London return on Virgin Atlantic. Included my Velocity number at the time of booking, and on check-in, and my number was printed on all boarding passes. I've waited two weeks before lodging a retro claim, and have not received any of the points, SCs or even an acknowledgement...

    The irony of "Diner's" Club

    On a recent overseas trip, other than at airports, the only place I could find which accepted DC was the Heathrow Express. Not one dining establishment I tried in London accepted Diner's Club. Quite a few places displayed the logo, but when the card was swiped, it was not accepted. I know...

    Diners Club Issues

    Hoping that this can be a thread where Diners Club Australia can respond because the call centre in India, while staffed by friendly enough people, often don't seem to understand or can't help: - I rang Diner's Club to register my Velocity number so that I could make online transfers of DC...

    "The current Qantas program is the best and most generous in the world."

    Reading Ben Sandilands latest blog post about Qantas (Qantas, Joyce version, needs to score some good media fast | Plane Talking), I almost fell of my chair when I read the quote in the title of the thread. Of course you can get value through using QFF points, but relative to most other...
