I had a booking which started 25 December last year, and this morning, 25 March, the points dropped. I'd forgotten about the stay to even think of chasing it. Interestingly, they didn't count to this year's Points Club total.

Some could look it as a way of keeping your QFF balance active each time you head to the airport to fly on another airline...

I second this. I've had major pains with Expedia tickets booked on Star (Turkish / Lufthansa) and Oneworld (Qantas / LATAM when they were still in OW). I now avoid online travel agents, I don't trust their fares. If i'm booking with a travel agent, I'll book with a Flight Centre or a corporate...

Is this in economy?

In Delta's case it sure was, compounded by the equivalent of rollover status credits - every MQM (status credit) above the tier you qualified for rolled over to your starting balance next year. There were reports of people on Delta's top tier (Diamond) who had accumulated so many rollover MQMs...

Quite a few *A do but only flights on their metal are eligible (AC, AV, CA, MS, NH, UA) or you need many consecutive years at their top level (LH, SA, SK). Asiana (OZ) was always the most achievable but as their merger with KE is likely to be consumated, this will likely fall away and KE in...

It looks like these are the same travel insurance policy terms which apply to the other HSBC cards with travel insurance (Premier, Platinum and Platinum Qantas) which have lower or no annual fee?

Perhaps ironic that one of the definitions of "nab" is "to take something suddenly"...

A big missing mention is the 2003 announcement that Swiss was joining oneworld. https://archive.md/20120908074428/http://www.oneworld.com/ow/news/details?objectID=1282 According to Wikipedia, that did not occur because: "After almost a year of disputes, Swiss was finally accepted into the...

Personally, I struggle with safety videos padded out by destination marketing / employee vanity shots / 'celebrity' placements / marketing gimmicks. My eyes roll on the first viewing and by the 20th time I'm actively trying to focus my attention on a book / podcast / show. The JAL A350 video...

Is it not possible to switch once you have made a selection?

Related to this, my pet peeve particularly from the Brisbane lounge - the music constantly played through the speakers in every part of the lounge, so loudly that you can still hear it through earphones when you are on a call or playing something else. Nowhere is the entire Qantas Club or...

Something is definitely screwy within the QFF systems. As well as deleting my Platinum and Points Club status three days into my new membership year (which I've raised in a separate thread), I logged into the app yesterday (8 January) and it was telling me that I still had my 2023 balance of...

Update on this - after emailing QFF, I got a reply from them that "After thoroughly reviewing your query, we are delighted to inform you that your status has been upgraded to Platinum". No explanation of why I had already been upgraded to Platinum back in November and why a few days into...

Has this happened to anyone recently? My QFF membership year ends in December, and in 2023 I qualified as Platinum as well as Points Club, both through to 31 December 2024. This morning I have logged in and on both the website and app, I am just showing as Lifetime Gold, with 1,400 SC to...

I crossed over LTG as well as annual Platinum recently while having a shower on board the Emirates A380 in F on a QF codeshare somewhere over Germany. At the rate it took me to get to LTG, I'll be LTP in my mid-100's...

I flew them on a QF codeshare (QF3xx_) 3 days ago and the points and status credits posted today (vs the BKK-SYD flight which posted on landing in SYD).

Does anyone find they are often sending emails like this to the Frequent Flyer Centre regarding BA flights? 'I submitted a claim for this flight (BAxx_ from YYY to ZZZ on 15 Dec), but it was denied due to "Unsuccessful - no match on booking name or flight". I am a little confused as to why...

To quote the late, great George Carlin, 'It’s those sudden unscheduled corn field and housing development stops that seem to interrupt the flow of my day'

Ominously, the "Business" and "Corporate" pages of the website no longer give you a way of applying for them or even calling to apply. It looks like DC is going the way of the dodo.
