    Exit Row - Definition of “Willing and Able”

    I’ve seen the opposite a couple of times. People moved out due to being dodgy/frail.

    New Amex statement credits

    While it can take a while nowadays, the vast majority of my dining credits in Aus don’t post properly, and I suspect my latest hasn’t either. So keep a note to follow up after 30 days.

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    I know it’s tongue in cheek, but it wouldn’t even be all of AFF. I don’t engage at all as I know on balance I won’t fly QF in any given year. I don’t fly VA either, though- I just do so few domestic flights. My one VA forward booking isn’t even for me!

    Putting Amex Into credit?

    I’ve never seen more heard of this from Amex with payments out of cycle, especially on an existing charge card. It can happen in a new charge card’s first 6 months of life, or so, as they develop a spending history for you. The biggest Amex risk is putting accounts in credit. Some people have...

    What’s the deal with my involuntary downgrade?

    Possibly. You reckon they ever use those transcon?

    What’s the deal with my involuntary downgrade?

    I booked a va flight a few months ago on award points in business, Mel-per at 20:50 or something. Didn’t hear anything more about it but at least partly my fault for a typo in the phone number section. Anyway, in farming the bookings last night to check seats etc it says economy and to...

    Questions on credit card annual fee.

    Not sure that answers the question. I don’t have an answer either, but I guess it will come down to how they rebate the card fee behind the scenes. I suspect your fee won’t be due until the card anniversary date.

    Help me plan a birthday trip!

    Also any Hilton hotels to consider for the nights I need to spend somewhere. Might try Conrad HKG, never been there.

    Help me plan a birthday trip!

    My dad turns 80 shortly, and it's possible he won't have that many flying years ahead. He is currently QFWP but won't requalify further now that he's also LTG and he really enjoys the lounges and business flights. I can't get much time away from my own kids to do a proper holiday with him but...

    Latitude 28 Degrees $8 per month starting September 2024

    I think that money goes to the retailer or the issuing terminal bank though. So 🤷

    Latitude 28 Degrees $8 per month starting September 2024

    So currently they are paying you to use the card?? What a strategic move. Shed a mass of customers and retain those who cost you money with a discount offer. Pretty sure I’d be rolled from the board if I proposed this.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    That’s interesting. My tray table wouldn’t go in last suites trip. I didn’t even notice and they gave me $450 voucher

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Not completely true. My business exists to give me and my wife a place to work (we’re contractors for it). If that entity can break even then I’m happy. It employs 10 other people and having a great place to work is our primary goal. Putting my original money in was a sunk cost for happiness...

    Travel Insurance for dual citizens

    I suspect you’ve never seen someone with a TBI before. We aren’t talking about someone living, other than by the barest definition. I suspect all the doctors on the group would say “get the insurance”. 1729390281 So let’s say it’s not that bad but you can’t fly. Where do you live? Who pays...
