Thank you - I don't think the agent who booked the ticket would know that but there is one more experienced agent at the branch whom I have used before who may know how to "segment relate my FFN to the applicable flight", otherwise I will try your second approach.

Thank you, I gave the Flight Centre TA both my QF and DL numbers, but all the flights are showing on my booking on the QF app. Should that happen if they allocated the LA flights to the DL FF number? The flights are straight return flights to Brazil. I only check in when I leave Australia and...

If this is answered somewhere else, please direct me there: I have return flights to South America at the end of the year, flights between Australia and Auckland are on QF operated / coded flights, and from AKL onwards and back are LA operated / coded How do I have the QF trans-Tasman flights...

I think this might be at the manager's discretion. Sometimes in the Brisbane lounge, it is so loud you can hear it through headphones. Personally I don't think lounges shouldn't pipe any music in, everyone has devices they can use to listen to music on through earphones. It's a lounge, not a...

I think the problem with that is: - US Diners Club cards are actually Mastercards issued by BMO Montreal. Discover owns the master global Diners Club franchise, but this has excluded Diners Club US and Canada since the 2000's. - For a while now they have not been taking applications for...

If I have no upcoming bookings, my app works fine. But if there are any upcoming bookings, the app seems to frequently need to 'sync' with something at Qantas which freezes what you can do on the screen until it's 'synced'. Can happen several times during a few minutes of having the app on. Am...

This is true regardless of any program you are looking at. The Delta changes are more about altering the level of high status flyers and lounge access: - There were previously much lower thresholds to earn status through credit card spend. This combined with "rollover MQMs" (which meant you...

This was posted by someone in a thread in the Diners Club forum: Just received this for the Linked Diners Card for Citi We want to let you know we will no longer offer the Linked Diners Club® Card from 16 October 2023, and as a result we will be closing your Linked Diners Club Card(s) on...

I think the reason for the high ratio is: - When you choose points, the airline division presumably has to pay the loyalty division for the internal transfer price of those points - When you choose SC, there is no accounting entry in QF's books

That does seem like another nail in the Diners coffin, to go with them no longer offering new personal card applications. If they are choosing to stop that volume of transactions going through the Diners network, it doesn't say much for the value they get from it. They are probably assessing...

That's marked in my calendar for the day I can redeem my 380,000 Ansett Global Rewards points...

Not sure what qualifies as rare, but before the went bust, I flew Royal Tongan Airlines from Apia in Samoa to Nukualofa in Tonga on a Hawker Sidley HS-748. According to Wikipedia, only 12 remain in commercial service. The whole in-flight experience felt like flying in the 1950's.

So to summarise: - A $450 annual fee, while waived in the first year, doesn't get you any additional benefits like flight credits. The complimentary travel insurance and other benefits you can get with fee free HSBC cards like the Premier card. - 3% foreign transaction fee means it does not...

This is now the equivalent of those "share your opinion for a chance to win a $300 gift card" nonsense offers. You will only get something of value from me if you give me something valuable in return.

This thread - CBA adds JAL, United and other airline transfer partners? - indicates they were a partner, removed, came back and removed again.

Mixed reports as to whether the Commonwealth Bank Ultimate Awards card can transfer to JAL, when it is possible it appears to be at appalling rates.

I suspect this was only a matter of time given the DL and AFKL linkages. I wonder why this thread was moved out of the "Airline Aliiances" forum, but threads like "Alaska Airlines joining Oneworld" "Oman Air planning to join Oneworld in 2024" "Royal Air Maroc to join OneWorld? [CONFIRMED]" stay...

I think it's also because the nature of the programs has changed. As they have become finely honed shopping loyalty and customer behaviour analysis programs where flying is almost an afterthought, many of the true 'hacks' which arose because those running the programs were still trying to work...
