    Aeroplan 50K benefits

    Unless you're travelling with them I don't believe they're able to use the lounge passes: https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/home/aeroplan/credit-cards/lounge-pass.html#/

    Aeroplan 50K benefits

    Not online. If you try to it tells you that the journey has already commenced and to contact an AC number to arrange it. Anyone who I've tried to give a pass to where this is happened has been a good friend, but perhaps not good enough for me to endure AC Customer Service (repeated traumas at...

    Revolut referral?

    Sorry for the delay in replying. How much do I get if I use your referral link - you didn't state a figure!

    Breakfast Guest?

    Ah, sorry if I've been a bit unclear - I'm already staying in the hotel and the room is booked for one. Still OK to bring a guest or should I make up a story that my 'partner' is joining me for my last night's stay in the property? Will remember to book for two in future though! 😁

    Breakfast Guest?

    Hi all, I've booked a double room for myself at an IHG Intercontinental and I have breakfast included in the rate. Do you know if it's possible to have a friend who's not a guest at the hotel join for the buffet breakfast? I ask because the actual rate of the room with breakfast is...

    Revolut referral?

    Just closed my UK revolut account and I'm looking to open an Australian one (frustratingly there's no option to switch your default country). Does anyone have a referral link so we can both pocket a few dollars rather than me just doing the standard sign up? TIA.

    BA Avios subscriptions

    Thanks! I have my BA and QR accounts linked so it shows me a joint balance. I can't say for absolutely certain but I think it just took the miles automatically from my BA account without me even needing to do a manual transfer. For Jun 23 my travel back to Australia included a short holiday...

    Perth T3 domestic lounge access

    Hi all, Just wondering if I need to have my breakfast before I head to the airport. Due to the forthcoming pilot's strike in WA Qantas have cancelled my flight on 16th February. Thankfully, because I have purchased a bundle of rights rather than a ticket Qantas have transferred me onto a...

    AMEX rejection

    I thought so too! :oops: Right, that's it, I take it back! Saying this was a "computer says no" to me decision, based upon what I've read in this thread, is an insult to our microchipped friends. This is AMEX employees, knocking back beers and lobbing projectiles at a dartboard with application...

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

    Hi all. Aeroplan cut it fine with the deadline but I can confirm I received my 50k within 8 weeks (52 days to be precise).

    I know I'm just one data point but clearly not in my case!

    AMEX rejection

    Your two posts really muddy the waters here - they're clamping down on churners yet you then did a glaringly obvious churn and still got approved!? I held my last AMEX card for the entire year and only cancelled it when they couldn't provide me with a loyalty bonus to keep them on! The lack of...

    AMEX rejection

    Hi all, I've just been knocked back for the AMEX platinum charge card based on a credit inquiry and having recently received a copy of my credit history I believe the decision is incorrect and would like them to review it. The letter that AMEX sent out informing me of my rejection only had a...

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

    That's not reassuring... I qualified 11th December with Aeroplan so it's almost been exactly 7 weeks. They do say it can take 6-8 weeks so I'm giving them one more week before chasing this up, but it will be most disappointing if I have to. 8 weeks is a generous amount of time to allow for...

    Article: Hotel Concierges Are Highly Underrated

    That's amazing! 🤩 I'm not a huge fan of American tipping culture but I certainly hope in this instance you gave that chap a big fat one - he earned it! 😁

    Article: Hotel Concierges Are Highly Underrated

    I have only attempted to utilize hotel concierges on two occasions, and they were unable to help. The hotels in question were IC Singapore & Fullerton - you'd imagine pretty heavy hitters who could make things happen. My request to each was to see if they could book me a table at Burnt Ends in...

    Instant IHG Diamond Status by Registration

    Nice. I'm still Diamond too but borrowed time it seems. In my IHG account overview: "Our annual review of your 2023 qualifying activity is in progress. Your 2024 status will be updated in your account soon." Here's to being overlooked! 🤣

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

    I had to wait until my next statement until SA Gold granted i.e. it didn't trigger as soon as I passed the 4K spend.
