    Jetstar Check In Melbourne To Ho Chi Minh

    Yeah that's fair. I think QF might have all day bag drop but that's QF. I'll sacrifice myself to give this a test...

    Jetstar Check In Melbourne To Ho Chi Minh

    JQ29 departs at 2:20pm and JQ17 departs at 3:50pm. My flight to CHC departs at 6:50pm. What do you reckon?

    Jetstar Check In Melbourne To Ho Chi Minh

    Just tagging on to this thread, does JQ have bag drop? If the check in counters don't open then perhaps OLIC and bag drop could get us in? Would like to access the F lounge a bit earlier for a MEL-CHC flight if possible.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I think it's a worthy keeper card mainly for the FNC and the credits. You could get 3 nights (1 FNC + 200 credit x2) at Hilton Queenstown or Surfers Paradise if you wanted something local.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just FYI, frequent use of the check spend tool will trigger FR. It's a pretty well known trigger for Amex.

    Long shot but does anyone know whether the concierge is any good at getting difficult bookings for certain restaurants?

    Credit Card Offers CommBank Smart Awards: 90,000 bonus Awards points

    Does anyone know if you miss your 2nd month you're still eligible for your 3rd month? My 2nd month was a bit dicey and I wasn't if I reached it but for my 3rd month I definitely reached the spend req. I received my first 15K QF points on 1/8 and my 1st statement hit, then my 2nd statement hit...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I find it a bit strange that Chase is a bit inconsistent with requesting W-9. I've had CIPs approved immediately whereas some cards will require a W-9. I've always applied for a Chase card whilst on a VPN. Don't remember if I ever applied whilst state side. I did get immediately approved by...

    American Airlines Business CGK-JFK

    Managed to price it out to 5.2K for 1280TPs for those interested in BAEC. I'm not sure if this is the max TP possible.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    This thread has gotten a bit unruly :D. I've noticed some mention about Cap1 Google Pay issues. I was reading on reddit regarding some workarounds for it. It seems like the Cap1 app uses your current sim card registered location as part of it's determination process. I had a US Sim and an EU...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Getting credit reports sometimes can cause a credit file to split. You can read my experiences with Equifax earlier last year on this thread. tldr: I waited 1-2 months for my existing credit cards to report again and it seemed to have fixed itself. VX instantly approved. Any DPs with getting...

    Thoughts and Feelings after losing status

    Having just dropped from P1 to WP. I wanted to see what people's experience are. What were some of your thoughts and feelings? Did you find the higher status worthwhile? The loss of manual review for CR and consistent Hobart call centre will be missed. F lounge access is retained but no more...

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    I also got my points on the 30th July but only reached the spend limit in June. Partner was approved 2 days after the promo end date and reached spend limit late July/early Aug but still hasn't received anything. I know it can take up to 6-8 weeks but I wonder if the dates are always 30th? Does...

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    Perhaps I got my terminology mixed up! So this is the situation: A CR+ booking was made but payment was not processed. No points or payment were deducted. There was no email indicating that there was anything wrong. Called up QF to query about the booking. They said payment failed. I offered...

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    Yep I had a similar issue where I clicked pay but the system didn't charge my CC and I had to call up to get it ticketed. QF acknowledges it's a system limitation that they can't fix it. I'm more disappointed that there is no work around beyond telling the customer to go book again at the...

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    Not sure if anyone cares but just an interesting update. My friend booked a CR+ flight during the sale and was issued a PNR. However, due to some payment issue taxes weren't taken out so the booking wasn't ticketed. I rang QF on their behalf and they effectively said, CR+ can't be fixed...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I wonder if it's for J only. I had it once in J and my subsequent trip was Y but didn't have any special service.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Newly applied Ink. Put 2K USD over a bunch of different things over the past few weeks. This morning tried to put something through and it was declined. Apparently it was flagged for review. Verified over the phone. They were reviewing that I was actually in possession of the card.

    Yes with the exception of C1 Spark I believe. Edit: See below.

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    Just to report back. The flight I tracked went back to standard pricing after midnight this morning. CR didn't return but by the time I woke up the availability I saw prior to the sale returned. I assume that something happed when GMT 00:00 ticked over? I'm also not sure that the cheaper points...
