redeem points

I have read the amex us site gives this option if you have added your spouse as an additional card member for more than 90 days. Have anyone tried the same with amex Australia. Or is there any other option to transfer amex mr points to your spouse asia miles account?

So the platinum card has an earning ascent point rate of 2.25 and for every 1000 points you can redeem back $5 for cashback. I checked on amex travel website and redemption on there is also the same. Has it always been like that? Or the only time to make the most value of your points is to do...

Virgin made the call to resume the velocity redemption for international flights. Now that the transfer of ownership has completed, when will we be allowed to use the points for international flights?

Due to a large KrisFlyer points balance (half a million KF) from multiple cancelled trips in 2020 and no real clue when I might be able to travel with SQ again I decided to book a VA redemption (domestic flight) using some KF points. It all appears confirmed in the SQ site and my flight is in a...

I've made two business class redemption saver bookings next year (optimistic ?) but have encountered technical errors when paying (tried multiple credit cards). SQ say they are having IT issues but this has been going on for weeks. Anyone else having trouble ?

Velocity has been giving a 30% discount on J reward seats for some time now (and that promo has been recently extended). Now, Velocity is also offering 30% off the points required for Y rewards. This promo is only a limited-time offer and is running until 20 October, but you can travel any time...

Velocity Frequent Flyer is now offering 30% off the points required for Velocity Reward Seats in Business class, as well as UpgradeMe Points upgrades. The discount is applied automatically, and is available for bookings and travel until 24 October 2020. You could say that the discount reflects...

Hey all, So I just had a phone call from velocity through might make a few people happier. The background is that I had two Business reward seats booked to London in Feb next year (with SQ) but due to COVID had to postpone the trip to March. I had asked to change the flights but it was after...

Finnair is apparently removing removing fuel surcharges on long-haul award flight redemptions from 25 June. It's not quite clear whether this would also apply to awards booked through partner airlines, but here's hoping it will also apply to Qantas redemptions...

The Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus program is suspending redemptions on Star Alliance flights, as well as hotel and lifestyle awards, until further notice. https://www.thaiairways.com/sites/en_TH/rop/Promotion/temporalily-suspension-miles-redemption.page It's been less than a year since the...

Hi all We have flights to Europe in August/September 2020. Flight out is Qatar J SYD - LHR booked via Qantas as a oneworld classic award. Flight home is SIA Frankfurt - SYD in J booked with Krisflyer points. At this stage it doesn't seem like we will be able to travel, so considering options...

The old style first suites are readily available as a Saver redemption, but the newer version is always 'waitlist' at best. Am I being blocked because I have no status? Do they just book out the instant they are released? Or am I just missing something? Cheers, Pete

If you have upcoming (say next 6 months) redemption bookings, and the cancellation policies are quite good, ie no fee/small fee should you cancel them, or should you wait until last minute? I cant see any benefit in cancelling now, except giving the opportunity for others who intend to travel

Been reading the T/Cs for cancellation for award bookings, the worst case scenario isnt too bad at all, but can anyone please clarify what it means, I have a first class flex plus booking using points in July, The t/cs are as follows...

Hi All I have approx 750k Altitude points. As this card is no longer worth keeping I wanted to ask your assistance with the best use of these points. I do have a trip to Europe planned for later this year - would SQ still be the best redemption? Transfer rate is 3:1 though which is not great...

Looking to book a Krisflyer Y redemption for a short trip to SIN, and wondering if it's possible to add a Velocity Platinum to a Krisflyer redemption ticket, so I can get a lounge access in SIN (and J check-in counter access). All my previous KF redemptions has been either J or F, and get...

Hi All, MrGlider and I are booked on an SQ J redemption PER-SIN-TPE return at the end of the month. We're watching the virus situation carefully and considering rebooking/cancelling. Trouble is, this is a redemption that has already been rescheduled once before about six months ago, and was...

I think I'm an experienced QF points redeemer. I’ve managed to fly J class every June for the past six years Brisbane to Europe, but has usually been with CX &/or BA, in to London, Paris, Frankfurt etc. I book 350-odd days in advance & not had a problem. Had time on my hands recently & out of...

Been trying to book a SQ redemption for IST-BNE J class for early January 2021. I hit the button at exactly 10am AEST 355 days out, but only see Advantage redemptions. I can see IST-SIN J Saver redemptions for the date, and then the next day I can see SIN-BNE J Save redemptions. Is this because...
