It is true that all frequent flyer programs are today different in size, popularity, and demand from the early days of their existence, but I would add one more, but probably quite important detail to this. The points with which we try to pay for airline tickets today have been ALREADY SOLD by...

"2 trips for 300K"... Where to? With the new CR+ option, it could be enough from Hobart to Launceston :)

But after all, this has already happened. For the last 3–4 years, finding a good CR deal outside a few lucky occasions has been nearly impossible, so comparing what the Qantas frequent flyer programme looked like before that, we can safely say that CR has already been phased out. And I think we...

From the article: "Qantas’ loyalty program is one of the most profitable divisions of the airline. In the last financial year alone, Qantas Loyalty made a $351 million profit – giving it an operating margin of 21.9%." There is no doubt about that. Can you imagine a better business than getting...

Thank God for SQ and their KrisFlyer...

So now many of us find ourselves in a situation where our miles which expire in March 2022 are extended until September, while those with longer expiry dates such as April, May, June, July and August 2022 will expire months earlier than those from March 2022. Does anyone other than Singapore...

True. I would even place it a little deeper.

It is true, I know that in addition to the extension of the validity of miles, you also have a waiting period to start your journey. I still believe that Singapore Airlines' approach is to blame for the current situation. If we had eg. 27 months worth of miles when the borders closed, we should...

Yes, please. In the meantime I found a table that confirms your information, but unfortunately not on the Singapore Airlines website. It was last updated in April 2019, so not sure if it is still relevant 2018 Guide to the Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Program (middle of page) --- I got...

Thank you, Bell21. I will try to find more details. For now, this is the only information I found on the KrisFlyer website: Rolling over Elite miles earned to the next membership year (with membership start date from March 2021 – February 2022) 1. How will this initiative benefit me as a...

If this is the case, it would change the approach. I confess I have not come across this information other than to say that Krisflyer miles have the same validity period regardless of status. Could you please attach a link to the information you have provided?

I wanted to summarise the information gathered here on the forum about taking the chance to transfer credit card points to KrisFlyer miles to receive a 15% bonus and KrisFlyer Elite Silver or Elite Gold status and the opportunity to extend the validity of KrisFlyer miles. These two topics seem...

Welcome to the Club! I've done it already - no more Amex Cards in my wallet, no begging for compensation for something that SHOULD NOT have taken place! 37 years of membership (1982) - one of the founding members of Amex in Australia and only now I have learned what this company has now become...

Let me share the information that might be useful to owners of Amex Explorer (and probably some other cards in Getaway program). While preparing my Amex accounts for closure before the Devastation Day, I called their service line this morning asking to consolidate my rewards points from all my...

There should be one. Otherwise, it would seem such exercise introduced by Amex would only lead to losses. I do not see the current Platinum Charge members increasing their spendings being grateful for not being robbed. The only logical option I would risk to present is, that Amex is changing...

I so, the whole game with Amex to acquire membership points to be transferred for flights does not add up. Paying 20% interest on the outstanding balance would cost $ thousands p.a. Would not it be better to spend this money on purchasing an airline ticket of your choice? No problems with the...

It clearly shows from many different individual examples of Amex membership presented on this forum that this company does not have any set criteria apart from one: Platinum Charge Card. All the rest is big chaos: 1. length of membership does not count; 2. value of spending p.a. does not count...

I do not think they look at the length of membership. 19 years is a long time, but still only half of my 37 years. As to the spending rate, I may be not a big Amex spender, but still averaging more than 200K per annum on 3 cards. Repayments - always in full and on time. Now: can you figure out...

At last. Someone with a brain. This is exactly the issue of the shameful thing Amex Australia is trying to do, applying the old Roman rule: 'divide-and-rule' trap. By BRIBING some of the members with doubling their point they are splitting our group of Amex members in two. The "winners" and the...

This is exactly the point. I believe most of us understand market changes and the necessity to adjust to the current situation. But it does not justify what Amex is doing now: halving the existing long-term savings. It is a steal.
