+1000 I love the salted caramel cheese cake at QF lounge, always go out of my way to go there for a slice or two:rolleyes:
Like the others have said, I am a big fan of the Pier J lounge
Best to call after hours on a weekend. I waited about 15 minutes between each call. I just told them I want to link the two for convenience, I didn't mention that I had de-linked previously.
That is correct the Platinum Edge does not give you Gold. Need Platinum Charge.
As a Gold member I have generally been upgraded to Executive rooms with lounge access. Haven't been lucky enough to be upgraded to a suite yet :-|
Re: Westpac Altitude 50,000 QFF points ($150 annual fee - waived for existing custome
Finally got my 50k bonus points after completing the required spend in August. Seems Westpac aren't quite as pro active as some of the other banks.
Have had the roast rack of lamb with natural jus and I thought it was pretty decent. Wife had the Kyo Kaiseki from SIN to NRT and she thought it was a bit ordinary.
Found a pic of the lamb.
Yes that is correct, however there have been reports that people have applied for the Platinum Edge after getting the Explorer and have been able to link the 2 together.
a) You should get the 100k points bonus. (110k if you sign up with a referrer link :)) I had my cancelled my Velocity AMEX card in September and signed up for the Explorer in November and I got the bonus as soon I spent $1.5k.

Yes that is perfectly normal. I have never received a confirmation email for any of my cards. You should receive the card and a welcome pack in a couple days.
Well for those who got in early, we can all be thankful this is only showing up on Ozbargain now. This will surely kill this for anybody still running small transactions on this account.
Re: Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" bonus given thread.
23k offered and accepted for inquiring about cancelling my Platinum Edge. Pretty low spend on it this year as I have only really used it for fuel and groceries.
I did this from MEL. Flew MEL-SYD and then SYD-SIN-HKG. Definitely worth it. Nothing quite like watching a movie stretched out in a converted double bed :p
Thanks adelee for keeping track of the referral progress for this card, I used your link to apply.
I already have the Platinum Edge and contrary to most people who have both, I was enrolled to the Gateway program on this card instead of Ascent. I hope I can link back to Ascent once I receive...
