I tried to book a KUL-LAX award flight with the new website. It doesn't work at all. I hope it won't them too long to fix the teething issues.

Mine showed something different. "20 nights to go". Probably because I have not stayed at any IHG properties for at least 10 years! I was a loyal Bonvoy member.

I got the error message after selecting one of the programs. I sorted it out by changing my HK address to an Aussie address. The promo is not available to Greater China residents and it includes HK.

I have been trying all morning to register without success. I keep getting system error message. When I called IHG, they said it is only available to people who received an invitation email. Then I realised that I have a Hong Kong address in my profile. Once I changed it back to an Australian...

Thanks for the reminder. Almost forgot about it.

Yotel is good especially for kids. Jewel is good too and you and the kids won't feel bored. Oops, didn't read the later posts. hard to find another decent hotel near the airport at reasonable cost. I was in Singapore in May and June. Hotel prices back then was very high. Hilton Gardens...

The standard membership is US$395 if you search for a code on the internet and use the code. No idea about Elite membership. Looking at some reviews on the net, the benefits of the Elite card over the standard are: Omni Select Guest Platinum elite status good for 1 year, offering room...

Thanks for the tips. Will find a US address to use.

Thanks for the insight. For the next 4-5 years, I will most likely travel to the US 3 times a year. 2-3 weeks each time. The car rental with SIXT sounds good. I was in San Francisco in May and I rented a Corolla for 4 days and it costed me more than US$600. The Bonvoy fast track may also be...

I received email about Foundercard and found a thread here from 2018 which didn't offer much information. I did some research and found some a lot of information but they are all reviews from US based people. Does any non-US based people here has the card?

Wife and kids going back to Melbourne to see family but I am trapped in HK to attend some meetings in late August. I tried to join them but it is hard to find a quarantine hotel and can't justify being locked up for 7 days for a 10 days trip.

Won't work for people like me who spent 360 days a year outside of Australia. Trying to earn 600 SC on Jetstar is hard work.

Singapore Airlines flights ex BKK to US have gone up significantly in price. All above A$5k. I could find some ex-Vietnam (SGN & HAN) for under A$4k though.

Although OW carrier is preferred, A$3k is a good price. Unfortunately, the best I could find for late Sep departure cost closer to A$5k. I will just keep looking.

I am trying to get from Asia to the US in Oct. I did my previous trip last month (May 2022) with Qatar in J. It was great but just took too long and it was expensive (US$7k). Looking at JAL Premium Economy and seems to be a good option as it is less than US$1.6k ex KUL. However as I...

I just got my 45% bonus offer as well. Not enticing enough enough especially with the recent dynamic pricing changes.

No. I had a nap in one of the cubicles at the quiet area, has breakfast and a phone call before going to take a shower. Waited for 30 min before I can get one.

I landed in Doha yesterday for a 9 hr lay over. On a J ticket to SFO but can't get into the Al Safwa First Class lounge. Was sent to the Business Class lounge instead. My flight to SFO was 8am. I went to get have a shower at 6am and there were 10 people in front of me in the queue. Just...

I'm going to some meetings with someone from Melbourne and he is staying at Sheraton Times Square. US$2450 for 5 nights if I stay there. And the hotel got some bad reviews. I'm staying for 5 nights as well but only 3 of them will overlap with the Melbourne guy. I may spend 2 nights somewhere...

Yeah. I tried it and decided it is not worth it. I'm buying some points for Philly though and managed to get some decent value.
