Put $36k though the Explorer and was offered nothing.... Less put through Plat Edge and again nothing.

Property: Hilton Darwin Date: Oct 20-24 (in exec lounge at present) Status: Diamond Booked: King Guest Room Received: King Executive Room with Executive Lounge Booked a room also for a person travelling with me who has no status or membership and they received the same upgrade. Upon booking...

In Exec lounge at the minute. Was informed the phone lines locked up yesterday with people calling in asking why they could not book HSW beyond 27 July. People could not even call internally to order food.

Received email today re the 80k points but they posted before today, as used them yesterday to book General Admission MCG tickets for tomorrow night. $9/ticket via Ticketek to upgrade to AFL Member Reserve tickets on the wing. GA tickets $25 and next tier were $65 and they were half way between...

Hit 80 status credit in the first week. Went on to get >600 in the 3 months of explore gold and now it says. "We are currently assessing your activity over your membership year. You will still have access to your current benefits until 07 Jul 2017. Your new card will be with you shortly." I am...

Re: AJ gets pie in the face Countries that have broadened the definition of marriage have also gone on to make other policy changes/amendments. Studies on the impacts of these changes to immediate families and broader society are available, with more to come. Not my point to post links or...

Seems about right but as the first point of contact with Virgin, not the best impression for the trip. Would have thought it would be an easy thing to improve on.

Checking in at Canberra yesterday morning. Velocity Gold and no-one in the priority line, so head to the front of it. Only 1 check in counter operating and half way in between both lines. Maybe 4 groups in the standard line. The lady finishes checking someone in and looks up at me when an...

same thing but with Macquarie Hilton card. Just spoke to them and was assured that there is: 1. no security breach and 2. no hit to credit file. I asked how they could know this when they have no idea how it actually happened - heard crickets!

Flew the family Canb to Bris return a few weeks ago using free AMEX flights. 2 * Velocity Platinum and 1 * Platinum Edge. To my surprise received SC's and points on all 3.

It appears this has been extended for 2 days as the counter now shows until midnight tomorrow night.

[/COLOR]Have taken a 2 bedroom suite at HSW for those not being upgraded. Paid for it - not upgraded but used 3 * $150 AMEX and use if an award night to make it very reasonable. The family deal saw the kids go to the Polly Woodside and had a blast whilst Aust Open for me.

As per DC3, I appear to have Diamond until March 2018 as well - received the email as soon as requested the card congratulating on being upgraded to Diamond. Also visible when logged in that to keep in 2018 requires 60 nights. I have the Hilton CC and hit the $12k spend to trigger the award...

Many thanks to the OP and others, as I too have scratched my head many times wondering why others are not jumping at this as I did when first cottoned on to it. Whilst this site covers far more than just credit cards, they are the way to gain many points quickly and the sound of credit card...

Not sure there is room for both of us Robbo_70.....only joking....welcome aboard from Robbo3

Statement credit received for what was a pre-paid non-refundable booking made via Hilton site. Booked another night separately via calling the hotel direct as had special request and they had no issue splitting a $700 amount onto 2 cards. These were two different cards to the card listed on...

I am Velocity Silver, so no lounge access. I put VFF to get points and status credits to Velocity and show Club Freccia Alata to get myself and a guest into Virgin lounges relatively often. Last time was 4 weeks ago.

Great news as I booked non-refundable via Hilton website and through speaking to an operator. That was maybe 5-6 days ago and it has not even hit the credit card as yet, so don't know if will get statement credit but based on Lisa10 experience it sounds promising.

Received Hilton Gold earlier this year courtesy of Macquarie Hilton CC. Have not spent $10k on the card as yet, let alone the $40k to get Diamond and saw yesterday that I was bumped to Diamond. Checked via online chat and it is valid until 31 March 2017, so not the next year and then until 31...
