Depends on who you ask and what AFF thread you're in.
The Point Hacks (unexplained) valuation of 1.9c is commonly quoted on other forums. Lots of people believe it.
Also keep in mind that points are there to be used. There is no point hoarding points waiting for the perfect flight redemption that may never come. Before you know it there will be a devaluation and you have missed your chance.
I was wondering yesterday why the cost of the Flex bundle from MEL-OOL went up from $42 to $61. I thought there must have been a glitch.
The devaluations never seem to end do they. A 50% increase in exchange for a benefit that I will never use.
Use your points for this one. 2 cents per point of real value is pretty good. I say "real" because you are actually saving 2 cents per point of real money you would have otherwise spent.
Did the unlinking take effect immediately?
Even though I had delinked FlyBuys, the phone agent said it was still linked at their end.
I couldn't delink 7-Eleven because I had to log in to Velocity which I couldn't because it was suspended.
Anybody else had trouble unlinking FlyBuys and 7-Eleven from your suspended account? I am told this needs to happen before the new Velocity account can be set up.
If a scammer asked their victim to buy $6k of gift cards from Woolies and the staff didn't question it then the staff would get in trouble. They are just doing their job.
I booked the same room as you - king room on RHR and I also didn't get an upgrade as Accor Plus Platinum.
I did see the lady with the trolley carrying the chocolate plates and she had dozens. There must be a lot of guests with status using this hotel.
