    App / Booking issues

    I had this a couple weeks ago where a booking disappeared from the app. It eventually re-appeared. Having a look now - my bookings are there today.

    What is your favourite hotel loyalty program, and why?

    Currently I use ALL as my main program. As others have said, Signature and Accor+ really sweeten it for me. Previously loved IHG and have dabbled with Hilton and Marriott thanks to AMEX Platinum freebies, but don't find them good value to me as self-funded. I would say I look at the value of...

    Jetstar Asia to shutdown on 31 July 2025

    My mother within the last 12 months booked one of these QF>JQ flights to get to BKK as she didn't want to transit SYD and didn't realise what a shambles it would be transiting SIN. She vowed never again. Turns out she gets her wish.

    Vinomofo Wine Deals

    That's what I thought it was over the weekend before coming here and realising it wasn't. Would have been very happy with Coleraine, so glad I didn't pull the trigger prematurely. I'm on the lookout constantly for Chatto Creek, they wont ship out of NZ and were offered only once that I can see...

    Rockfords discussion

    I was similar, over a tasting I eventually succumbed. Helps that it's my 40th this year and it would be the perfect way to start the evening for that shindig!

    Rockfords discussion

    They are a key sponsor of the BVF held biennially, so tend to run an event during the period. They held the same event 2 years ago, but the DiPalma (I think I got that right) vineyard is actually cropping now. The link might not remain active for much longer, but the details are here: Barossa...

    Rockfords discussion

    Did anyone else get along to the Grenache from the Ground Up event this year, held during the Barossa Vintage Festival? Highlight was the 1998 Moppa Springs from a magnum! And separately, any Stonewallers partake in the single allocation Black Shiraz Magnum on lees since 2001?

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Just wondering, other than the Novotel Amex offer that might've sweetened the deal, did you consider the Pullman. Random dates I look at the Pullman is the same price as the Novotel. I've stayed at the Novotel before as a Plat, the free parking was useful but have been stung by coughpy room...

    Rockfords discussion

    I'm not on the many other mailing lists you have worked your way onto, but don't complain about it on an internet forum :p There's plenty of places to buy Rockford from at a slight markup if you don't want to play their mailing list game, just like there's places I could buy some of the stuff...

    Accessing status benefits via FQTS while avoiding earning any points

    Would it not have been possible to add your number to the booking to select seats, and then when entering the lounge, just ask them to remove the number? I'm not sure why an employer would buy points-earning flights and not allow staff to earn points, just from the simple reason that they'd...

    How does "Family Offer" work?

    I wanted to thank everyone for explaining this to me better, I can see now what I needed to do and what I did wrong. Thank you for all the help :)

    WhatsApp spam from Novotel Melbourne Airport

    I had WhatsApp messages from Sofitel Darling Harbour last week, assumed it wasn't new. Used it to ask for a sewing kit to be delivered to my room while I was out :p

    How does "Family Offer" work?

    If I do that it totals $7k. It asks me to select room 1, and gives me price options. Then asks me to select room 2 with the same price options.

    How does "Family Offer" work?

    I assumed I needed to select the number of adults and/or children that’ll be there? I have tried changing it to a booking if 2 adults and 1 child per room, and received the same result. It asks me to select the rate for the first ‘room’ and then for the second. Is anyone able to replicate this...

    How does "Family Offer" work?

    No, there are 2 rooms, they're both penthouse suites that have 4 bedrooms in them for a total 8 people max occupancy. Here is the same booking, but if I chose the flexible rate instead of the family offer (50% discount off the second room). I guess, the price I'm expecting to see is around about...
