    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    At first specific flights but then I said I'd take anything including combo 737 and D400 and the consultant mentioned nil availability whatsoever. To be fair only one of the flights has D/I availability, the rest had Y9 and everything else 0d out so hard to tell whether I could've gotten anything

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    In particularly surprised I couldn't even get a Y seat either... I doubt the loads would be that high and there are quite a few flights daily, even on the weekend

    Enhanced GHA DISCOVERY program, coming early Dec 2021

    Yeah I'll always take a look even in Australia to see if there's anything worthwhile but off the top of my head it's really only Sydney and Melbourne that have non-oaks properties and in both cases I think they are park royals! I really enjoyed my stay at the park royal collection Pickering on...

    Enhanced GHA DISCOVERY program, coming early Dec 2021

    I love GHA but it is about of a weird program. It is the easiest of all to earn loyalty with, and they generally deliver on the upgrades for top members. I do admit that their collection is quite eclectic and depending on which city you may only have serviced apartment choices. The Parkroyal...

    Credit Card Offers Suncorp Clear Options Platinum: 140,000 bonus Suncorp points

    As a data point this was my last card I closed - opted for this over the qf earning one as it gives me more velocity points (from memory it was only 40k qf). Points credited 2 days after statement appeared despite the usual "may take 6 weeks to be credited" and transfer to velocity was within 24hrs.

    Qantas Hotels Vouchers used without my permission

    It's a tough one - I suppose from QF's point of view there's nothing stopping someone from using it (or giving to a family or friend to use on their behalf) and then calling to ask for a reissue. I'm not saying this is what has happened to you by any means, but it does out qf in a difficult...

    Tripit pro not loading up travel plans?

    I've been having issues over last few weeks with tripit pro not showing me my trip. It's all added in there but for some reason it categorised it as someone else's for a few seconds, before loading it up and showing me all the details. Additionally on the app, it doesn't seem to want to work...

    RTW in F/J - Hand Carry Only - Iceland, Finland, Washington and a few other places

    It didn't take up a massive amount of space to be honest, I didn't look at the electric options - do they cost much more? The hand pump did the job well enough

    USA Entry - CBP Mobile Passport control app [MPC]

    I flew into IAD a couple of weeks back and downloaded MPC as I deplaned. Completed app and took selfie on the strange shuttle they use for transfer. On arrival into the main immigration area there were lots of signs saying to download and use MPC And look out for the MPC line. Super quick and...
