Thanks, was reading that as if a new form was due on 2nd July (yesterday)? But may have misinterpreted? Was searching for the form without any luck.

Had issues for quite a while adding new places. Unless they’re quick wins or an offer, they don’t show up on my map or list any more (after card hacked, started again and still can’t get done of my favs). Am yet to find a solution.

Does anyone have a current link to the gifting MR points form? The old link appears to now be invalid.

Has anyone heard of any more explore gold offers in recent times?

I tried twice and was successful twice. Was surprised the first time, assumed it was normal after the second time. Possibly I got lucky? To be clear, I am talking about a quick hour or so stop at an airport and on a route that offers direct and is on the Etihad guest chart for VA. Shows up on...

Too true, my choices were as a result of availability, but with lounge and business class, why not. Enjoy!

I have booked itineraries with Etihad guest miles with 2 sectors previously. One example was BNE-HBA via MEL for 6900 Etihad guest miles (economy).

Was supposed to get 10k, but only got 5k. Realised that the wilsons parking one never registered. Frustrating.

Thinking of sending my balance to Etihad Guest from Amex prior to devaluation. This has been where I used most of my Amex points previously and would have no dramas using them within the 2 year expiry. Problem is uncertainty with the Etihad Guest program due to financial troubles. Tossing up...

I know your feeling. Changed my mind a few times since the announcement.

Agreed, Agreed. I’ve had great value in the last few years. Syd-zqn (a couple of times), bne-hba, Syd-cns, Syd-ayq. That’s the main reason I am keen to transfer all my soon to be devalued Amex points there, if they were to be safe there...

Cheers. I sort of did answer the question, but unsure mainly due to their current financial troubles sending them into receivership. I really have no idea however if this is likely or not. No real plan b if VA devalues as the partners sort of fall into the same category of no plans that suit...

Any thoughts on sending a decent balance to Etihad Guest from Amex (prior to devaluation). This has been by far my most used Amex points to date and would certainly use them within the 2 year expiry. My main concerns are any uncertainty with the Etihad Guest program due to financial troubles and...

Thanks for the tip, 7th and 8th jan seem to have $109 fares out of Launceston and $139 out of Hobart. Would definitely just use cash if those prices become available on the right dates, appears those 2 days have award availability released too. Looks promising for cheaper fares and/or award...

True. Probably just something more exciting. But agreed, if nothing pops up within next few months, will aim to use it in advance of the 6 month waiting period.

potentially... had been hoping to save for a rainy day, but 6 months in advance, unlikely to hold value for much else.

Yeah, assuming economy flights out of tassie in school holidays must typically sell out more than the rest of the country. I need more seats than business class seats available, but will probably just book the available business and the rest in cash in economy (or wait and hope the release more...

Seems to be no virgin economy award availability in economy on any flight on any day from Hobart or Launceston to Sydney starting from wed 18 dec 2019. Been checking at midnight a few nights for the release of the new day and it seems they are not releasing. Business award availability appears...

Thanks! So that is excess funds to pay greater than 5% based on each month is it?

Thanks for your response. Annoyingly, this is in 2 cards at their minimum allowable limit. I intend to keep one of these cards. The other card, I will cancel, but just not ready yet as I haven’t used all the benefits of the card yet. My best strategy may be to wait until after I have cancelled...
