    Hong Kong Octopus Discussion

    The other issue with the physical octopus card is that it gets blocked after ~3 years of inactivity, as I found out when I attempted to use it on the airport bus the first time back after covid. I had to eventually go to the service centre to get them to reactivate the card, but by then I was...

    New Amex statement credits

    Mine did not trigger when I booked a ticket to the east coast during the error fare. YMMV.

    Qantas Red Planet

    Greve tracker, 200 points for Sydney Water and the different types of potential drinking water - maybe due to the negative news a few days ago

    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    Quite possibly, but I don't want to take that risk. When they rebooked everyone in business class the email mentioned the following: "Any future date changes are subject to our standard fare rules, and any applicable fare difference. ... If you do not wish to proceed with this offer, you can...

    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    Close, 620 SC for my booking and I am still deciding. Received an email on Tuesday stating 'If we don't hear from you within 7 days, your case will be closed automatically', so I guess I will have the weekend to make a decision.

    5,000 bonus points each on up to 3 international Qantas Hotels bookings (book by 5/8/24)

    The title of that offer email is "Ready to plan your trip to <destination>?" I've received a couple of those emails this year.

    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    I already received an updated booking confirmation and next steps email a few hours ago. The email states: "Any future date changes are subject to our standard fare rules, and any applicable fare difference. If you are proceeding with this offer there is no action required from you. If you...

    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    Same, still deciding - the email I received did not mention a timeline as to when I needed to reply to cancel the fare.

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    See this thread for the finnair seat - it divides opinions and I'm looking forward to trying it out for myself early next year. https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/finnair-new-business-class-airlounge-seat.103339/ You might get lucky with the short haul flight as some...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Probably worth making a new account after everyday extra finishes like the suggestions above. I also have everyday extra and had no good offers for 3 months but definitely had my share of decent offers during the year including 5400 points for $100 a couple of weeks ago and 2700 points for $100...

    New Amex statement credits

    I don't recall having a section like that in my survey, from memory the closing question I got was only a scale of 1-10 of what I thought about the survey without any space for any additional comments. And if they had sent the survey after today's "offer", my responses would have been even worse.

    New Amex statement credits

    And what a useless survey it was, all about acceptance of amex cards and nothing about, for example, the surcharges that businesses charge when accepting amex compared to other payment methods. That was a waste of 10 min - maybe instead of donating money to charity, they should give back to...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Same, haven't had a spend offer for around 2 months now for me, only the useless 10x points offers.

    The Japan Trusted Traveler Program

    I probably should have done that, my application got rejected just under 2 months after I submitted the initial application - I guess the amex ultimate card was not 'platinum' enough for their liking. Unfortunately I don't currently have a card with the word 'platinum' on it. Going to try and...

    Is there such a thing as earning points for free?

    I can't really agree with that definition. Assuming you ultimately pay the same total amount whether you use cash or credit card (i.e no credit card surcharge), then the points are 'free' for the end user in my opinion. Yes, it is probably built into the total cost you are paying which has been...

    Qantas Hotels no longer supplying Tax Invoices

    That line has been removed in the confirmation emails I recently received without an invoice attached. Probably prior to the change (deliberate or otherwise) - my 2 overseas bookings made on 24 June did not have an invoice attached.

    Linking JAL flight to Qantas Account

    Also see this thread from a few weeks ago https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/qantas-my-trips-airlines.114397/ That's interesting if JL are also on amadeus and doesn't show up but other oneworld airlines such as BA and CX on the same system does.

    China Airlines TPE-KIX redemptions all gone?

    It's interesting, a couple of months ago I was looking at a KIX-TPE redemption for early January next year and like the op, I thought that CI had plenty of seats available in both business and economy across all 3 daily flights. If you wanted a specific flight it may not have been available but...
