Thank you for the detailed reply. I will just add that the list certainly isn't complete because Sofitel Fiji isn't listed. And that one has the Journal Lounge which is a sanctuary away from the beach/pool - yes, there can be too much beach/pool when on holiday :-) I just thought maybe we can...

That's a relatively low spend but obviously ticked all the other boxes for luxury spend. It seems that luxury spend is more important than the total amount. It also seems from the previous replies, spend on personal cards are prioritized as Amex probably presumes it's all genuinely personal...

Do you mean that list includes all the hotels that will certainly give Plats exec lounge access and the rest are on a hotel by hotel basis?

To those that have been invited to the Centurion Card, were your spending on a personal Plat or a business Plat? I am in a slightly odd situation of having 6 Amex cards - 2 business and 4 personal. I spend across them depending on which card earns better (like all groceries and petrol on the DJ...

Having recently made ALL Plat, I am eager to make use of all the benefits - which, to be frank, isn't much. Forget the early check-in and late check-out. They are just about NEVER available as all rooms are booked full. Forget the priority queue for check-in. It's just as long as the normal...

The Flight Centre CEO's comment is correct and smart. He knows very well that Qantas's lobbying isn't just limited to directly petitioning the government ministers - Qantas could, for example, be generating the narrative on Qatar's "human rights abuse" in order to indirectly pressure the...

I haven’t flown CX for a decade. Will soon again in about a month. Does anyone know if Cathay offers online check in that bypasses the airport desk entirely if I have no luggage? I’ve been flying SQ and I can online check in and walk straight to customs. But when flying Fiji recently, their...

Then, in accordance with an efficient market, if Qantas can’t compete, they should be allowed to whither and die. Artificially limiting competition inflates prices, resulting in consumer’s spending power being siliently and unknowingly diverted from other industries. When Qantas is propped up...

If the goal was to get lots of points transferred, then the pulling of saver J tickets couldn't have come at a worse time for them. I hope they sort this out soon. It just doesn't make sense to try to lure us with a transfer offer but then pull redemption availability at the same time. Who wants...

Maybe all the 90k tickets got snapped up by the barrage of transfers from the new Amex partnership? Is that likely? I have never booked directly with Qatar before so I don't know how available they usually are. The one time I did book with Qatar through Cathay was a rather unpleasant...

What does this line in the T&C mean: The bonus Avios will be calculated on per transaction basis and not on the coughulative sum of base Avios converted from Membership Rewards® points during the Campaign Period. Struggle to see what the difference is between these two scenarios they are...

This is a Hong Kong based offer. It says an eligible member is a HK based member. Can anybody confirm if a similar HK based offer was paid out to members globally?

If A+ members' status is assessed at the time of A+ renewal, does that mean if I have the requisite nights/status already 4 months (let's say) before my renewal date, I will remain on the lower ALL tier until A+ renewal even though I already qualify for the higher tier?

Where are you seeing the new offer? I don’t see it on asiamiles.com

I assume from the fact that you were able to select the seats, you paid for the ticket rather than got redemption tickets?

This happened to many people, myself included. It didn't help that the CX call centre staff I spoke to behaved like a recorded message repeater. I ended up with 360k points siloed in CX as a result. But I did manage to book a QR flight for March 2023 later. So it would seem 3 to 4 months is the...

Haven't received my bonus yet. Although technically I transferred the points before I activated the offer (on the same day), the wording implies as long as I activate, the offer should apply to all points transferred within that period, not just after I activate the offer... Being hopeful.

If I got my ALL status (via Accor Plus) via Amex Plat, can I still link ALL to QR? Effectively, does the Amex association count like an airline association?

Yes, the stream of Y passengers bring a different air to the otherwise relaxed mood of a J cabin during boarding. But I do sometimes get a kick out of the Y parade glancing at my champagne and footstool as they walk by.

Family and I have had 4 recent return flights in SQ J between Melbourne and Europe. We have not had any issues with anything. Our flight in September out of Melbourne certainly had the normal J class check-in desk service. I am surprised to hear of this contactless service only business. Though...
