Pleased to report that transfer was successfully completed tonight. Had all the information to complete the verifiction process.

Thought of that - Dad is 85 and my voice does not sound that old. Mum is a Retirment Village and we discussed that we could get another male resident to do the call with all of the information. If we can transfer the points will wait a few days before we phone and change the mobile number.

My Father has been in a Nursing Home since 2016 with Dementia. Today I tried to help transfer my fathers FF points (134,000) to my Mothers account. My Fathers last flight was in 2014 and since then the points have come from Woolworth and NAB Credit Card Points. Dad is still the Primary Card...

Went to the Flight Centre Travel Expo in Brisbane on the weekend. China Airlines had a stand and I asked if they provide hotel rooms if you have an 18 hour stopover. The response was they used to but no longer do. Will still phone China Airlines as the person on the stand did not appear all...

Have found on the Accor website that has a page as to what Platinum members get at hotels. Told the wife that I am devastated as this is what I found: "Access to Executive Lounge If available at the hotel, excluding Fairmont Gold"

I received my package today with the plastic luggage tags, leather key ring and a plastic sleeve. No moleskin notepad but this is my first time as Platinum. Spending two nights at Sebel Pelican Waters. Provided the points post (have had 2 stays at the Sofitel Brisbane in January and problem...

ND thanks for that tip. Our flight back from Vancouver is in business so will give it a try. Yet to phone to request the booking at the Novotel but will report back once I do.

MEL_Traveller many thanks for your quick response. Will do that in next few days and post what they say including the conditions. I could not see it on the website. If the stay is limited to a block of say 6 or 8 hours may be better off booking with Accor and receiving my Platinum benefits. I...

Have just found this thread. Wife and I have a return trip on China Airlines from Brisbane to Vancouver departing in late April and returning in late May this year. Booked direct with CI with Premium Economy on the flight to Vancouver and Business on the way back for around $2900 each which I...

Kermatu, thanks for that. From what I can see the only Fairmont property that has seniors rates is the Jasper hotel. I made Platinum in December for the first time so would have liked to experienced at lease one stay in a Fairmont. Have over 43,000 points so might use some of those to stay at...

Luxury - Lizard many thanks for your reply. I would love the link!

PY welcome to my pain! From my research so far Vancouver is the most expensive city I will have stayed in. I was hoping to find some deals with an Accor world wide sale but it would seem that i will have no luck there. Have used Priceline NYOP in Europe very successfully (5* hotels in...

Roo Flyer, TG and DRRON thanks for your responses. Will not wait for the Accor sale! Whilst I have the time during the Christmas Break was wanting to book our accommodation. Shame about Accor in Canada - I have got great deals in Asia and France on Accor sales. My best deal was an M Gallery in...

We are going to Canada in April/May 2019 (British Colombia and Alberta only) and have looked at booking Fairmont hotels on the Accor website. Surprised at the cost - cheapest Fairmont is the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver at $747 per night with the Fairmont Lake Louise $1289 per night. That is in...

Roo Flyer Thanks for posting the links. Much appreciated. Getting excited about tasting the wines in Kelowna. I loved aged whites so hope to see some there. A relief about the coffee!

Flashback - some great Rieslings and Pinot Gris from the Alsace. Can buy Grand Cru Rieslings in Brisbane at Thierry Galichet's bottle shop La Cache Brisbane. He is the importer as well and they are very reasonably priced.
