Try using the SQ app instead - I think it works that way. Once you have the email address updated, the website will work as well.

Echoing the sentiment that Etihad would've crunched the numbers and figured out what's optimal - and passenger fare profitability is just one of a multitude of elements, most of which the general public does not get to see whatsoever (some examples include freight profitability, aircraft...

Planet Express and amex don't mix well because of the lack of suite details in amex correspondence. I'm yet to receive anything there successfully because of this.

An agent suggested booking as many segments online as possible and making any corrections/additions within 24 hours of the booking to avoid having to pay any change fees, and that worked like a charm for me - no change fees charged, and I spent far less time on the phone than I would've if the...

I received an email today from Cap1 ([email protected]) inviting me to try the pre-approval process. Problem is I don't have an ITIN (have an application in progress with the IRS), am not a Cap1 customer, and have never had an interaction with them. I have no idea how they...

You can definitely do 1+1, and I'm 99% certain you can do 1+2 as well.

Successfully booked a OWA in J on AY/JL/QF/MH (10 flights, 2 surface sectors, 33K miles inc the surface sectors). Ticketing happened within 3 hours - I was amazed! By contrast, a separate one way flight in J on AY booked using QFF the same day still has not ticketed 4 days later, and a prompt...

Not too surprised with the lack of blogger/vlogger coverage of the Chinese carriers in recent times, as the country is really still just opening up, so just throwing in some of my personal opinions below (I don't have much to say about MF though - no experience with them). Overall, I wouldn't...

You can see your score through your amex account - just log in, then go to Account Services -> View FICO Score My score appeared after 8 statements.

Thanks! Yes I've read about the random rejections, but I think it's one of the best everyday cards out there, so one worth risking a hard pull for. My normal spend is not huge and this card is effectively self sustaining thanks to the travel credit and bonus points.

Looking for advice from the brains trust - I have an ITIN application in progress and am aiming to get a Cap 1 Venture X in the next 6-12 months. My FICO score is currently 770 (around 30 short of "Excellent") through a single amex card. Would you recommend I: (a) apply for another amex without...

Unfortunately the Marhaba lounge was similar, with very low quality slop being served - party pies with less filling than the ones you can get from a supermarket, plus maybe around 6-7 dishes that are very much of shopping centre food court quality. Especially disappointing because I know...

Yes that's what both dragonpass and priority pass say, but some recent reports seemed to suggest that the extra charging thing no longer exists (and there's no longer an a la carte menu available anymore either apparently - not sure if one drove the other to happen?

Dragonpass allows you to choose from the Plaza Premium, Marhaba and The House lounges at T2 in Melbourne I think. Based on my experience last week, I wouldn't recommend Marhaba - it was fairly busy, the food was poor quality (with the exception being the vanilla ice cream), and the whole place...

I do too but I think most "normal people" see points as completely valueless, hence the only cost are the taxes. I always tell people to value points at my conservative valuation of 1 cent per point - they sound like they understand what I'm saying, and then go away and redeem 300K plus $2K...

For both of my AC flights, there was no indication whatsoever of my VFF status on the boarding pass - maybe a good thing based on what you're saying; at least people can't misconstrue anything from it!

YUL back to LHR - lounge dragon at YUL international MLL politely advised that lounge access is limited to VFF golds only - took a little bit of convincing that platinum is actually a step above gold 🤣 The lounge itself was quite busy but otherwise nice. Food was far better than the LHR MLL!

Just posting another update for my flight from LHR to YUL in Y - no status recognition at the airport either (no priority security, check in, luggage, seating or boarding benefits), but access to the Maple Leaf Lounge was granted with no issues using boarding pass and digital VFF card. Points...

Also possible that this is a supply/demand experiment they're running - an economist's dream - i.e. if we were to only release 1 business reward seat, what happens to the demand for paid J seats and load factors, what happens if 1 reward seat becomes 2, etc. Obviously the ideal would be to...

Yes I've done it before - see this thread: Free - Qantas Lounge Invitations No issues entering lounges in Singapore J, Melbourne international J, Melbourne QP and Sydney QP. Not sure if it would work for QF flights as the linking process is different, but for JQ it appears that not much...
