    Business class transit through Singapore (Changi): an absolute farce

    Was in the lounge at T3 for 4 hours or so between 6:00 am to 11:00 am on 27th- absolute chaos and not an inch of space to spare for the early morning flights. The lounge staff were waking people up from slumber and the food stations were clearly unable to cope with long lines.

    Velocity reinstates Singapore Airlines redemptions

    Snagged a few tickets to India (BLR) last night. One pair during the peak Christmas and another a few months earlier - all in J. Tremendous value as velocity is 78,000 points one way in comparison to 84,000 with Krisflyer. Taxes are similar. For folks who have stuck with Velocity after all the...

    Should not be a problem. I think there is a option to change passport details during online check-in. So essentially once a redemption booking is made with a certain passport number - that can be changed during check-in. I have, in the past - so it should be the same now.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    I am sure this won't follow a trend. The retention bonus is AI driven with multivariate dependents - that include new sign ups, card churns, spend per month/p.a, interest rates, cancellations, economic sentiments -retail spend, number of bonus offers, card type etc. This is based on previous...

    Srilankan Redemption

    MEL-CMB-BLR return in J. Although now I see that they have come back online, but only from early Apr 22. Any dates before that is a blank. Thanks for the help

    Srilankan Redemption

    I cannot seem to see any redemption of QFF on UL. I have a confirmed ticket that I booked early Nov for travel in Dec 21, and I could see UL redemption then, but QFF is just not listing any UL flights even from CMB. Does anyone know whats happening??

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Yes. The call centre seems to be struggling. There are segments that I can see available online but they can't see them on their end. This is for a couple of tickets that I wanted to be on a single itinerary rather than 2 itineraries - just so to avoid things getting complicated at transit in...

    Unable to change redemption ticket departure date using "manage my booking"

    Check the expiry date on the passport for all the passengers. The passport should have 6 months or more validity for the return leg. (I have had this issue for my child recently and the call centre fixed it for me).

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Hey Mate - Did not have to run a chaser to have the waitlist flights clear. All in all, 3 out of 4 waitlist flights cleared in 2 days of making a booking. No status with Krisflyer - Gold from Yesterday I'd hate to have a longish transit in SIN enroute to BLR - So I normally make a booking with...

    Booked J savers same leg in Apr/May return to BLR - 2 for me and the kid and another for the wife. Good to see savers wide open. Also the waitlists are clearing quickly - as I had similar issue with a long layover. However, the waitlist for shorter layovers cleared in the last few days.

    Earn points on Bank Transfers

    Well .....It's probably a bit of a hassle if you have actual spend to make at certain deadlines. For manufactured spend - its a godsend

    Earn points on Bank Transfers

    Great ...Oct 2022. After all the reductions we've had on the card- this alone should help us bank points for future use. Citi products surely work in a binary sense - either very attractive or completely useless

    FINALLY! - Citi launching Citi Prestige with Visa Infinite

    Try again mate. I've had the same answer and I hung up and tried again after a day (think it was Monday and ring the number on the back of the card 02 ...... which then gets routed to overseas) and managed to have the fee waived altogether. I gather that they are already reducing it to $350 for...

    FINALLY! - Citi launching Citi Prestige with Visa Infinite

    Still some value in in if paying the half fee. I wasn't paying fee for a long time but now on half fee. Recently there were offers of $50 each for $1500 spend (4 times to my card) - so that kind of helped. But as you say - unless there is an upscaled offer of point redemption to existing point...

    My bad.... 2% is the fee. Not even worth a look at that rate then.
