All new flight loadings are coming up as waitlist (ex Mel, Syd, and ADL) on saver and Advantage (for peak Dec travel)

Did not think SQ and Star Alliance redemption tickets could be married anyway. I think the posters are all trying to marry SQ individual redemption segments from A-B and B-C to A-C, such as to avoid paying more miles

This is what I meant. I could have them combined by speaking to an agent in Feb 23 (yes he said it could not be done at first but eventually did combine after speaking to a supervisor). However, recent posts by other posters dealing with multiple CSR appear to not have it marrried. So either its...

Wow.. looks like the goal posts have been moved. Sad if it is the case, as it does not make sense to pay more points when individual redemptions are available.

PLease see post 145 https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/the-master-sq-guide-krisflyer-waitlists-waitlists-clearing.65002/page-8#post-2507189

Just for your information the Premium Award books into premium economy not into J. Did the same thing last week for the missus and when the ticket was issued, it was booked into PE - so had to cancel and forfeited 7500 points. You'd want Business Reward for J.

I"d like to add to this. The poster is right that he has brought up issues around J reward availability with Velocity. There is no denying that the J (both domestic and international) has dried up (Y available though). I've been on on the hunt for ONE J reward from Mel-SIN during Dec 23( Yes I...

How do we set up Payall for the next few years. I thought 2 years was the limit to be set up just before Oct 23. Edit: just reread the above posts!! I get it now. Cheers

Same issue when I rung the call centre to marry-up sectors (A->B->C) which were available by itself for 2X online Saver J redemption (A-B and B-C) with less than 24hrs layover in SIN. Went to a call centre in Phillipines and the agent refused to marry the sectors, escalated to a supervisor who...

You are right, looked the other day for 2 J redemptions to PER from MEL, and half an hour spent looking ta various dates only to see 1 J available. As another poster has mentioned, looks like more reward seats open up for more immediate travel. Does not help for folks who want to plan their...

Something to ponder - booked Amex FHR at the Langham. Rack rate at the Langham was the same as what was at Amex Travel. Booked 3 Rooms (the limit is 3 for Platinum reserve) and each room gets $100 US in credit to be used in the room, plus late check out plus Breakfast for 2 each per room. That...

Yes- literally everything is on waitlist from Melb. Normally, there would be few sporadic days open both in saver/advantage but just nothing in even early Dec 23. First also looks waitlisted. Also nothing from Adelaide. Availability was never this sparse on KF!!! Just realised you were on...

International Cards work but not everywhere. Big End of town and expensive restaurants, shopping centres etc are all ok. Small end of town and everyday expenses (taxi, street vendors, small shops etc .. all use PayTM or Phonepe machines - which does not seem to accept International cards. Some...

Do not have any photos - but it is usually Paneer Butter Masala or Chole Masala for the mains as far I remember. Got given a paratha once but it was soggy as you could imagine. Tastes Ok - nothing to rave about. The second leg from SIN to respective Indian cities have a much better spread and...

Best is to have a chat to Sniip or one of the Amex Bill providers considering the 6 figure sum and ask to reduce the surcharge. With Amex transfers to Velocity at 25%, Mariott at 50% and Hilton at 40% on currently - that'll set you up nicely for any options you may have.

DEL airport is probably the least preferred option for someone who has an option to purely transit from India. BLR is much much better in terms of passenger experience and BOM is not bad either. Both have reasonable connections for transit. If the visit to DEL airport is as a result of "first...

Looks like its been pulled out. Nothing I can see direct from Mel or Syd, some available from Mel -BNE-SIN for the dates I looked in Oct/Nov

We just have to bear it for another 4 months or so. I think Oct 22 is when the "no setup fee" expires. Good Ol Citi has always been a pain to deal with - its products are like a yo-yo. It has got its highs and lows.

I recently snagged 3 J reward seats from Sin to ADL using velocity points for Jan 23 @ 58000 points each plus taxes, as there was no availability to Mel from Sin. With bonus points promotions in velocity - 58,000 points to fly on Sin metal is pretty good. Looks like we are getting to a sweet...

I do not think the combination you've got can be any better for $100K year. Personal Amex will get your annual fee back in travel credits and you'll forego that if you opt for a business explorer. BOQ - perfect for velocity at 1:1 (capped at 10,000 per month i think) and if you have the grand...
