I only ended up getting the miles credited to Qatar for the PER-KL leg in the end. Does this sound correct? Should I not be entitled to either the rest of the Avios through the rerouted flight, or if not then Turkish Miles for the original flight booked even though I didn't fly with them in the end?

Ok thank you. I just anticipated an issue with the TK FFN listed on the boarding passes if I upload them but hopefully they understand the issue.

Hi, I recently was booked Business class Perth to Dublin with mixed airlines: PER-KL (MH), KL- IST (TK) and IST-DUB (TK). I credited my miles to TK (Turkish Airlines), sacrificing the first leg for the other two. However first flight was delayed and Malaysia Airlines rerouted us to KL- LHR and...

Thanks for your reply. Yeah fair point re churning. Standard offer now is currently 70k. But for following a referral link its still only 70k while I get 40k. I didn't think it was particularly good historically but will leave it up to him. I'll return the favour by using his referral in 18 months.

Hi all. I have a friend keen to get me to refer him for the Explorer but I am advising him to hold off until the bonus goes up again. Is there any pattern/history to the increased bonus offers?

Question (as Chubb are currently closed)- it's been a while since I wanted the car rental insurance. With Amex Explorer, if I book a car rental abroad, using my card for the rental purchase I am covered for Loss Damage Waiver. Is my partner (if I also name her on the Rental agreement as a...

Great, thanks for the reply. Out of interest, how much was the offer and was it for both legs together?

Qatar newbie, would appreciate the insight. After booking a Y promo fare with Qatar, do you still get a Pay to Upgrade offer (if available) like others do a week before the flight?

Just speaking hypothetically for now but thanks for the advice.

Thanks. I could see advertised price but was hoping that on completing the booking some miles might reappear in my account- not the case obviously.

Guys can I just confirm that for mixed cabin redemptions in J or F there is no refund/reduced price upon completing the booking if entire journey is not in the booked class? I thought there was but may be confusing myself with LifeMiles. eg PER- DUB F is 115k points even if PER-DOH is F and...

Ok I understand- it must only be American Airlines flights the process works for. Thanks for clarifying- this is what I was originally asking but the second call operator led me astray. The inconsistencies with different operators with regards to the points game never fails to astound me.

You have access to Aadvantage award seats- the flights can be operated by partners of American Airlines. As already stated the AAdvantage site gave me MileSAAver availability of a Qantas flight PER-SYD and Fiji Airways SYD-NAN. Etihad call centre happily checked this specific route for me...

Apologies for the confusion. I was hoping to book American Airlines award space using Etihad miles as explained in the linked article. The redemptions are cheaper and I can use my Amex points balance. It is possible but reward space has not been released by American to Etihad yet in relation to...

I called back and found someone more helpful. Award space for September 2019 would not be released yet at this stage to partners. He advised calling back weekly.

Hi everyone, I was hoping to use Etihad call centre to book a multi city award booking via American Airlines as explained in this article (checking for Saver availability via AAdvantage and calling then Etihad to book). How To Use Amex Points For Great Value American Airlines Flights... - God...

Thank you too! I finally had a succesful attempt after reading your post today. In the end I was going to use the upcoming devaluation as ammo to combine and transfer but it seemed the operator I got had no issues with it and its gone ahead with a similar balance being transferred. It makes up...

Nothing for me either. Explorer fee is due- as I got a retention bonus last year (23k I think) nothing available this year. Probably over $60K spend annually. I'm still working on getting the Explorer and Edge linked. They told me they could do it but could not transfer my Explorer points...

Hi guys, I'm currently researching Qatar as an alternative FFP to Etihad now that Etihad have pulled out of Perth. I fly Perth-Dublin a couple of times a year. Previously I was able to instantly upgrade Y cash fares with miles if there was availability- easily worked out before booking the...

737 unfortunately. I had the option of going via Sydney which would probably have involved better planes but I’m doing the trip on a 5 day turnaround and just want to be back in Perth ASAP!
