This ^^. Can confirm that both Priority Pass cards (primary cardholder and supp) get +1 guest.

Unfortunately not, as to use the credit, you have to first select which card or card group you'll be booking with. Qantas cards sit on their own - when I use my credit, the balance always has to be paid on the Qantas card. At times where you can switch cards for payment, they still have to be of...

If it's the Qantas $450 credit, it can only be used on QF-coded flights. The other credits from the MR cards can be used towards an overall booking, though.

Sadly nothing on any of my cards, although I did give it a good workout last time it popped up!

Another new one for today: Special - Get 15% back one time, up to $10 (basically, spend $70, get $10) Only appeared on my primary Explorer. Special sells a range of multi-brand digital gift cards. The 'Super Shopper' one can be used at supermarkets (ahem) and most other major retailers. I've...

They're now telling everyone to have a "wonderful" flight... but haven't done anything to change the actual experience. Groundbreaking. 😂

For anyone else interested in the Payment Logic app, you can just sign up without being an existing customer. It's the blue "Payment Logic Personal" app in the app store. Couple of things to note, yeah, it's BPAY only, and payments to the ATO are blocked (I guess so that all the business owners...

Under Oneworld agreements, the operating carrier pays for the lounge entry fee behind the scenes. In simpler language, the airline you're flying that day picks up the bill, whether you're entering by status or cabin class. If you were suddenly taking actual Qatar Airways flights a lot because...

The lounge wouldn't know what your Priority Pass membership includes, only whether the system allows them to admit the number of additional guests you're requesting and that 'computer says yes' after swiping your card. Priority Pass pays the lounge a fee per person that they admit, and how much...

You can tell a card's type from the 'BIN' (basically, the beginning of the card number). Different types of cards start with different numbers. For AMEX, it's 37 at the beginning, then after that it varies depending on the type, category and nature of each card. Business cards would have certain...

Seems I missed the original email but I've won 25k, can't complain! Citi sent a new email prompting me for my Velocity number, so check your inbox if you haven't already won! You had to give them your Velocity number by 28 October, so don't delay. 😉

Often the VC/FC/LL offers come back some weeks later, kind of like as 'second chance' if you missed out the first time. I've always found that when I saved and used the offer the first time, I don't ever see the same offer again shortly after (but do get the offer later when a 'new' offer comes...

Yes, if you're on the Citi Rewards earning option, DC is 2/$1 into the Citi program uncapped, at home and abroad. Equates to 0.8 Velocity Points per $1 on the basic Citi Rewards account (2.5:1 conversion) or 1 VA/$1 on the better cards (which have a better 2:1 conversion to Velocity). However...

It's unpredictable. Sometimes it can be across row 1 then across row 2, other times it can be all the A/C seats then the D/F seats, and sometimes they might ask by status for those on paid fares rather than redemptions/upgrades. Basically unless you're in 1A/C, you may not get a choice.

The 3:2 rate is the everyday rate from Amex to Marriott Bonvoy. Temporarily, with a bonus in place, it's effectively 1:1 from Amex to Marriott (3:2 with the 50% bonus). You can't convert directly from Amex in Australia to Delta. It's only available via Marriott, and so if you're applying as a...

I suspect they just haven't updated the T&Cs since FHR was redesigned to allow for prepaid rates via Amex. You could never use the offer for FHR in the past as it had to be paid at the hotel, which wasn't Amex Travel. Now, prepaid FHR is processed at Amex's end in the same way as other travel...

It's not necessarily cheaper redemptions on SQ, as SQ keeps the best seats for its own KrisFlyer members (and now, Velocity). It's that you need fewer points through many other programs to book comparable flights on partners. Really requires number crunching before diving in!

You mentioned that the charges weren't on the statement, but did you go to the very last page? The Diners transactions appear on their own statement of sorts, even though it's the same account. In the website PDFs, the Diners statement is usually after the regular Citi statement, but in the same...

Yes, used it on arrival in May after registering before COVID.

I stayed there back in March as Gold. Was surprised with a welcome gift of wine and macarons. No upgrade but I was really just there to sleep. Having said that, they confirmed a 2pm late check-out for me at check-in time... but then called my room around 10:30am on the day of departure to tell...
