To close the loop on this one. I called the helpdesk this morning, was advised there would be a long wait. There was in fact no wait. The lady split the booking, resent the itinerary while i was on the phone including an eticket number, refunded the points in real time, and advised the refund...

I have a Velocity redemption for 2 pax. One pax now cant travel. I have looked at manage my booking and cant see how to amend the booking to delete one pax. Is this possible either online or on the phone? It is a Velocity booking on SQ flights. If not possible to amend the booking does anyone...

If your phone can use one then get an e-sim. I put a post on the phone thread in the forum.

My experience last month in Japan was very good. I say that now is exactly the time to go as there are basically no international tourists. I wear a mask everywhere in Australia so wearing one in Japan was no change for me.

Observation: my old card was due to expire at the end of November so Citi decided to get on the front foot and cancel it before the new one had arrived or been activated. After we crossed that bridge i have now received my new Mastercard(the old one was Visa). I went onto the app to switch all...

I used this mob last month in Japan: https://www.upesim.com/en/ I had to manually enter the APN setting but once i did that it was set and forget. That was my first esim experience and i cant see my self ever buying a physical sim overseas again. Heading over to the middle east in a few weeks...

Sad to say but now it is my turn. In May this year i booked three pax on RJ AMM-DOH for 30th November. Award flight, points deducted, paid the taxes, ticketed etc all visible on QF and RJ websites. I get an email on 20th October saying my flight time had been changed by 1 hour. No problems. A...

I also called today to ask about any retention bonus on plat charge as my annual fee was charged on the 1st of this month. Answer: no. Will try again tomorrow!

I have spoken to Amex about how the rate is determined. The answer is that each hotel sets their own rate. This answer was provided by the hotel who were contacted by Expedia who were contacted by Amex who were contacted by me. On that basis if you think the rate is a rort then bring it up at...

Checked out of the Conrad Osaka today. $USD125 came to ¥17,010 which is a fair way off the mid market rate although I noticed the rate was on my welcome letter. I will be sending an email to Amex asking how they come up with the rates. And in terms of the hotel: phenomenal. I would live...

Yeah exact same problem. Wife working part time was way over minimum income requirements but was getting rejected. Only exception was Amex charge cards as I believe they are governed by different credit laws. Didnt bother arguing with bank credit card rejections. Waste of time. Just wait 5 years...

It was two transactions a month. One over $20k and one smaller one to get up to my credit limit. It didnt seem to let me set up one for for my full credit limit each month. Your $40k limit is somewhat redundant as the old limit was $35k a month for Citi PayAll transactions which according to the...

Redirected your bank? Never seen that before. Sure you arent on a fake hilton website or have some kind of malware on your computer?

My offer was a 100% bonus. To answer your question: it depends. There are definitely situations where buying points to pay for your room is cheaper but most of the time that isn't the case. If you are a gold or diamond and you need a few more points to book a 5 night points stay (which has the...

That is a joke. And the joke is on us. The more people who complain to Amex the more likely the scam is to be rectified.

That FX rate is outrageous. It equates to .74 when the actual spot rate is .64. An FX fee of somewhere around 14%. Totally unacceptable. I have a FHR stay coming up later in the month and if they do the same to me i will be making a racket at check out, and while i dont expect them to be able to...

What is compounding this more than overseas tourists(of which there are basically none) is the subsidies available for locals from the government. From what i read they can almost stay for free at the lower to mid range hotels.

After posting the availability above i redeemed my free night and now i dont have the ability to view free night availability! From memory there were loads of hotels with small co payments of less than $100 but most were Ibis level hotels which personally dont appeal to me.

From the app i can see the following for free: 4th Ibis Singapore on Bencoolen 5th Ibis Singapore on Bencoolen 9th Ibis Styles Singapore on Macpherson All other hotels require a co payment. Thanks.
