    Accor Plus Membership Discussion

    I agree that the Accor Plus benefits are not as clear as they could be. For example the Banyan Tree in Kuala Lumpur is excluded from the Stay benefit ie you will never get a free night there, but it seems to be partially included in the Dining benefit. The Horizon Grill restaurant appears to be...

    AFF Member Stock Discussion

    Latitude is a strange one. I thought they were a relatively small player yet it seems the data leak involves 50% of Australian adults. Crazy.

    AFF Member Stock Discussion

    No luck? It was a rights offer so if you were on the register at that date then you were entitled to buy some.

    QFF also offered the same flight on the 30th March and I booked it as well as the night flight on the 31st March which someone else booked. These flights were all released less than 10 days prior to departure.

    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    It's different. People are getting their wires crossed. This one closing allows you to transfer cash to USD or yen etc at any time and withdraw when required. It is an excellent product and I am annoyed it is gone. Can anyone who has had this and the HSBC product give a comparison? Thank you.

    Earn points on Bank Transfers

    You must be joking! Legoman is spot on. They slow the process as it is to their advantage. Having the process work as it was designed would mean they make less money out of it. Exact same concept for eSim's for mobile phones- carriers are perfectly capable of providing them to customers on...

    It is very simple- make sure the product you are advertising is the same as what the consumer will receive when they open their wallet and purchase it. It's not complicated mate. And hats off to the kiwi bloke who held them to account.

    Philippine Airlines End of Year seat sale

    What is preventing me from leaving and returning? Having to go out through immigration and then back through and the process of queuing for hours with the unwashed masses.

    Earn points on Bank Transfers

    Don't call them! Fair dinkum. Trial and error on your own and work it out. The Citi call centres wouldn't know any way.

    CheckMyTrip Update - No more desktop access or ticket numbers

    Just want to agree that this update is a disaster. The app is basically useless now. No seat number, no class of travel, no seat map, no terminal number, and i have a flight in a months time that has been changed by an hour or so and the app isnt reflecting the new flight time. Who signs off...

    Philippine Airlines End of Year seat sale

    For a bit of feedback on PR: I completed my outbound trip KUL-MNL-SYD about a month ago. Pro's Lie flat bed on leg to Sydney is good. Onboard service is prompt and attentive. Con's Having a 7 hour transit in MNL airport is a nightmare. You are stuck in a tiny part of the airport and cannot...

When i dined that night i paid the bill which was ~$320. I assumed the $203 deposit would be refunded later...
