    Hilton Honors discussion

    On another note, I just saved $300 for a three-night booking in Adelaide by making two bookings (2 & 1 night) rather than one (3 nights). Has anyone come across anything like this before? I only noticed the discrepancy by accident.

    Would you pay to fly F?

    Technically, I have paid for F as part of the CX error fare that popped up 364 days ago between Vietnam and the US. 😍 I found it to be magical, but the only noteworthy differences for me between that and J were the caviar and the access to the F lounges which included private dining. Spa...

    🤔 Anyone doing this one and not received their points? I have an email from WW confirming I only have week three remaining, but no points have hit my account.

    I agree. Surely they will notice the gap after a few dozen swaps.

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    I just went on a rather unremarkable business combined with leisure Hilton-based two-week visit to the USA staying mostly at the most affordable Hilton chain properties. I received suite upgrades at Hampton Inn's in San Marcos (Texas) and Reliant Park (Houston, Texas). I didn't receive an...

    Hilton Honors discussion

    Places like the Maldives, Moorea, or Koh Samui might be worth it. On the other end of the spectrum with 10K properties, it can be worth it as well.

    Hilton Canberra (proposed)

    Their name isn't Geocon, so you are probably right! (Geocon are building shoddy apartment buildings all over Canberra).

    Hilton Canberra (proposed)

    I live in Canberra and I am super keen for this. It is much needed. When looking for an apartment here a few years ago, I had a last-minute stay at a motel in Queanbeyan for $250/night as parliament was sitting. Canberra/ACT was sold out.

    Agree 100%. Calling it the way to go, as annoying as it can potentially be.

    Has anyone put any thought into how to keep their Diamond Status into the future post-2021 expiry from the Macquarie Hilton card? Using rollover nights from last year, and nights this year, I will end up with around 55 nights towards Diamond, but already have it anyway through Macquarie. Does...

    Qantas FF announcement 20 June - "biggest overhaul" in program history

    There mustn't be too many people trying to use their points before the changes come into effect. Just locked up a classic rewards return in J to the US in November with some help from Expert Flyer alerts. All of the gift card bonuses from Woolies and Red Planet surveys have paid off!

    I assume this will work with the Macquarie Platinum (Or Platinum Qantas) some of us now have following the demise of the Hilton card?

    No issues in the ACT. I went to many stores, and only in one store did I take the last one off the shelf. Also visited Wollongong today and there were many left.

    A couple of questions from an AAdvantage newbie

    Success today! QF50 SFO-MEL on the 789. Booked over the phone as it was not showing on the AA site. Took about 25 minutes from the EF email coming in until the reservation.
