Yes and no. It should count towards status nights, but not status points (for the amount covered by reward points). If there is a co pay, that will count towards status points but because Accor don't award status points for the tax portion (10% if in AU) the co pay amount would need to be...

Why would they - the majority of airline FF points programs work the same way. The only real difference program to program is the effective value of the points, and the allocation of reward vs revenue seats.

They already have this, it's called status. No airline is looking to only build loyalty with their most frequent flyers, there's not enough of them to consistently fill planes, and most of them are probably locked in to regular travel by circumstance and incumbency carries weight especially...

I did a *A round the world with a group of (at the time, young) friends a few years after 9/11 with a heavy amount of North American legs and we got SSSS'ed on every leg consistently, with the net result being a lot of missed flights that United reissued us BPs for later flights for, most of the...

Handee Ultra Paper Towels for me. I didn't even bother going and getting whatever they offered me last time (some plain biscuits or something?) but this time I will.

How is that an accurate analogy though? Firstly, plenty of people are taxed on income that they withdraw (or don't) from their bank account if it wasn't taxed via PAYG prior to deposit. Think investment earnings, rental earnings or business earnings. For business earnings in particular, that...

Is this not the point of the exercise? Taxpayers subsidise the tax treatment of superannuation investment returns in the form of reduced taxation revenue. I don't think discouraging contributions over a certain amount can be considered a fault of the legislation but rather the point of it?

It does not matter. If you found a way through Sniip to pay funds to yourself (that SMSF thread was an example, another person reported being banned for using PayPal to send their SO funds), AMEX are likely to ban you as it is a related-party transaction. Yes, that absolutely includes sending...

You can't pay yourself (eg paying your own super) that's a related party transaction. AMEX have banned people for that in the past. Search Amex related party transaction and you will find some examples. Here is one: WARNING - Don’t use RewardPay/Amex to make a personal SMSF contribution.

It seems pretty self evident to me that if QF intended in the short term to reduce CR inventory, they would not have stated the number of annual CR seats on the slides for today's event.

There's no point even responding to photos like that. Unless every charger in the country is seeing the same thing, who cares? It means that the 99.9% of drivers not at that particular location at that particular time are experiencing no issue at all. Same scenes are seen at petrol stations...

Why? at the moment there are two options - keep hunting for a CR, or spend 0.6cpp on P+P. Now there will be 3 options, with the mid-tier offering a very mild positive return on point value for J at least, unless you're acquiring at 1.5cpp or higher. The only logical outcome is some of the...

There's no blame, it's a simple statement. There's another tier for those not prepared to wait. If only there were a pithier description for such a customer....

Speculation is right. The majority of discussion has been predictions of doom and gloom but a critical eye cast across what has actually been leaked to date just shows a new rewards tier that is unlikely to change much if anything (other than to soak up the excess points of those too impatient...

The irony is that a CCP built Tesla would have significantly better resale value than my Fremont built Tesla. They didn't care much for the art of panel alignment in California. That said I don't plan on selling it anytime soon so I couldn't care less.

I'd say that has a lot more to do with accepting government subsidies for a lot of the more recent supercharger builds (and the conditions that come with that funding)

No surprise re the Tesla slowdown, for a long time they were the only player in town, then for a while they were the only player within their price range, now China has entered the game with cheaper EVs with similar feature sets whilst Tesla churn out incremental updates to the product line or...

No middle seats

Par for the course for Accor. Does anything work as advertised without hidden conditions or surprises?

I took up a 50% off offer last year after my Accor Plus expired, but you need to let your existing membership lapse first, it isn't available as a current subscriber
