I've just received my St. George Amplify Qantas Platinum in the mail this week. Can anyone clarify for me whether as a new cardholder I'm subject to the same end date for ATO payments / rewards points as existing cardholders (9 Dec)? The PDS I received with the card is WEF 1 Jul 17, so I assume...

Signed.

Sorry for the late reply, @Mattg ! Domestic duties will win the day for me on this occasion, otherwise I'd make the short trip down!

Just grab an Xbox One X! That's what I'll be running it on.

Not sure to be honest. I've pretty much kissed goodbye to my money, so if I get anything back (either in Travel Bank or via credit card chargeback) it's a bonus. The issue I have is that I cancelled by bookings at a time when VA was telling customers that they should do so as the flights I was...

Got the same email this afternoon. Not a great surprise really. I am hoping VA (and the money I have sunk into cancelled bookings) pull through.

Good tip. I booked the trip almost a year ago, so can’t recall, but will check to see if my itinerary now is precisely as it was when I booked. I read that JL is reducing flights to and from HKG, but our flight is one of the “lucky” ones that hasn’t been cancelled/changed.

My wife and I are supposed to be traveling to Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore late next week. Watching and waiting, but growing more concerned by the day. Hotels are all non-refundable 😔 and we will be out ~$500 and some points for the flights.

Unfortunately, if it’s part of an OW award that’s too complex to book online (in my case due to the inclusion of sectors on IB), HUACA is all I can suggest, though others may have different ideas. The agent I spoke with tried to escalate the issue through her supervisor while on the phone with...

As others have experienced, I too have been told that returning to the point of origin on an OW award counts as a stopover. I’ve also been told that they were unable to add a partner airline (JL) flight to an OW award as it was still subject to regulatory approval. This is despite the same...

Yes, disappointing that the bar is set so high to get the 20K bonus points. I won’t be changing from my current provider. Similar story with the bonus points offers for their health and life insurance products.

Just read it. Devastating! At least I’ve got one last hurrah using intra-Asia stopover next year.

My experience with a Citi-backed card was that points posted at the end of the statement period in which you achieve minimum spend. That was with the Virgin Money Flyer.

Agree. Perhaps they should be focused more on stemming the bleeding from their money-losing ventures in the first instance.

My wife just did SYD-HKG-YYZ in CX J. No pjs but did receive slippers. Mattress pad from HKG-YYZ but not from SYD-HKG.

I’ve been in Oberammergau when the Passion Play was on, but unfortunately didn’t organise well enough in advance to attend. The atmosphere in the town was wonderful. Hopefully I’ll get to it one day. Look forward to hearing about your experience!

Nice little carrot if you were going to book on Etihad anyway, but yeah...bizarre that it pays out at VA rates. Bizarre is nothing new for Etihad Guest though, right...

Welcome!

Also received the double points offer. Might use it as I have a couple of positioning flights to book, but it’s not a strong lure. If QF comes up significantly cheaper, I’ll use them.

Hi all, Does anyone know for certain whether you pick up SCs for each leg of a one way that includes a stop? I’m looking at flying KOA-LIH but the routing through HNL departs at a more convenient time than the direct flight, so I’d prefer to book that. Will this mean that I’d get 80 SCs on this...
