Thanks - I suppose I'm up for excess charges then...oh well. I guess I was hoping bags would be checked through...

Damn I was hoping if they were QF marketed on the same PNR throughout I'd get my silver allowance (3 bags) instead of 1. thanks

Hi, Just booked a flight MEL-LAX-YYZ ; YYZ-ORD-LAX-MEL. All flights are QF# with LAX-YYZ on Westjet and YYZ-ORD-LAX on two seperate AA operated flights. Does my QFF Silver count for any additional baggage and if so, is it only on the QF operated legs? Thanks

Sweet - thanks, I found the T&Cs and confirmed exactly that. Good news! thanks for the reply @Mr H!

Sorry to dig up an old(ish) thread...I took them up on this offer and the points have now finally dropped after I chased up the broker three times. Does anyone know if leaving will cause any issues? I churned to this for the points and there are much better offers out there with lower rates...

Bummer, that makes the Platinum Charge a whole lot more expensive...too bad, gone are the days when signing up to the Reserve card also netted you 100K MR points...

Hi, Been sitting on the sidelines for the last two years (thanks Covid!) and am now starting back up. Just noticed I can get (and give) 300K Amex MR referrals. But I was wondering, if someone signs up, does Amex still do the $450 credit for the Platinum charge plus the $400 credit for the...

Hi, Just looking to burn a couple of credits we have prior to cancelling our cards and I was wondering - if they were used for a refundable hotel could you subsequently cancel them through the hotel directly (i.e. not through Amex travel)? Would this come through as a refund or would you...

I've got 44K points in Le Club (I hate the new name) which expire next month. While I might be able to book and stay in a room locally, if Covid-19 complete lockdown doesn't prevent it I was wondering if booking a room in the future and cancelling at a later date would extend the points? Say...

I haven't seen anything come through and my points are still expiring next month

Yeah, hoping to not do that - I'm just wondering if prepaying it (i.e. so it's available to redraw) would do the trick.

Hi, Just a quick one - Mrs Calgarychris and I have churned cards in the past however we've sat out for a year while searching for a new house, which was bought in September. Our current financial situation is solid - we have an admittedly large mortgage, with a correspondingly large offset...

Hi, Just trying to book the following; MEL-SIN-CPT (destination); via SQ VFA-ADD (stop) - via ET ADD-SIN-MEL via ET then SQ They've told me that it needs to be booked as three one-ways (I thought you could buy a $100USD stopover, but apparently not?). Now I've been told that the agent that...

3.29% was owner occupied.

As another data point - we signed up for this, approved in a week and our rate offered was 3.29% through ANZ mobile lending. When the paperwork came through it was at 3.32% but the lender said he'd get it fixed in the system on settlement and forwarded me the approval...so, fingers crossed that...

Ugh - the timing of this...I'm in the process of getting ready for settlement, property settles in September and Westpac won the toss a few months ago but my ANZ guy is teasing me with this promo and his rate is now 14bps better. What to do??? The property hasn't settled, although I've done...

Thanks guys, and great suggestions. Unfortunately I’m going back for the funeral of my Mom, so I’m not really feeling like exploring. I’ll see on the day though. I appreciate the tips about the train, if I do go I definitely don’t want to lug a suitcase behind me. And yes, I’m going ANA880...

Hi, Flying SYD-HND-YVR-YYC next week on ANA/AC. Just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to check bags through from SYD-HND-YVR if I have a 16hr20m layover in HND? Am I able to stay airside? Alternatively, anything nearby that folks recommend in terms of restaurants/bars/hotels to...

It's possible to transfer MR to MR up to 50K points per year. As long as the programs are the same there are no fees, however if you're going "up" a program (i.e. from Ascent Premium to Ascent) it gets expensive ($5/1000). I may or may not have known someone who had their entire balance...

I'm still going to stick by the platinum charge as the travel benefits work for me. Other than that though, all other Amex cards will get careful scrutiny. I'm actually looking forward to the simplification...
