    Closing the loop holes on Waitlisting

    Or, apologies if I misunderstood you :-) Although us being in agreement unfortunately doesn't change the cough new rule :-(

    Identifying new config 77Ws?

    Thanks guys. Seems there no easy way to do it outside of hoping the schedule is correct.

    Double/Triple/Quadruple SQ points until 31 Dec 2013

    Just stumbled across this, is useful for a couple of my upcoming stays (particular at Sydney Hilton - quadruple points!) and thought it might be for others too: Hilton HHonors - Singapore Airlines Up to Quadruple KrisFlyer Miles Promotion

    Krisflyer access to LX and LH J

    I believe (emphasis: not 100% sure) that SQ has full access to LX and LH partner inventory in both J and F (once it's released, which if like F will be very last minute).

    Closing the loop holes on Waitlisting

    I've flown both; the SQ product is most definitely better, but there's nothing wrong with MH's - it's still good, just not a good (just wish it was full-flat). Assuming you're not rolling in points, and you can earn MH points just as easily as you can earn SQ points, the MH option is definitely...

    Identifying new config 77Ws?

    Has anyone figured out a way to identify flights operated by the new-config 77Ws (I guess by seatmap) yet? I've Googled but can't find much.

    Ask The Pilot

    Does the latter (SO debriefing the captain's flying) ever lead to issues related to someone junior potentially criticising a superior? Or is the "in coughpit" culture well enough sorted that it's not a problem?

    CitiBusiness Gold 'no longer available'

    Well I just had a pleasant, if accidental, CBG experience: used the card for the first time in ~9 months (points cap finally reset) and discovered that Citi appear to have "forgotten" to remove the bonus-point-per-dollar-until-the-end-of-2012 I was offered when I threatened to cancel last year...

    Citi Select Alternatives

    AFAIK, Amex Plat Charge is about the closest equivalent if you want unlimited PP, although how it compares on points earn depends on type and amount of spend. Or, probably better overall (again type of spend depend any), Westpac Altitude Black + separately purchased PP (it comes with PP, but you...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    I'm fairly certain that I've read of it being used successfully before... But I can't 100% confirm from personal experience unfortunately.

    Thanks, appreciate it. Will ask if our booking qualifies for this.

    Earning points on group bookings?

    Work is booking ~50 rooms at a Hilton property later this year - is there any way for me to earn HHonors points from this? Not necessarily on all 50 rooms - but at least something :-) I'll be staying too, if that makes any difference. I've tried Googling but haven't turned up much related to...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Almost certainly due to a margin kept by Optus, who process CC payments on their behalf. The underlying merchant fee is 0.33% on Visa and Mastercard, which is the same amount directly passed on by some other government departments (e.g. Victorian SRO) who (at least as far as you can tell by...

    Suites savers now available

    Is that promo still going? Damn, thought it had ended... missed out on a $40 voucher last month then :-( Any idea when it is running till, as I'm transiting SIN in October (yes, in Suites on the inbound - "just" F on the outbound as it's a 773 :))

    Gift Cards at Supermarkets

    That's strange - I bought $1000 worth of gift cards (Supercheap and Big W from memory) from a WOW store a few months back - got 970 QFF points for the EDR swipe, plus 3,000 Amex MR points paying for them with my Platinum Edge. I think I also got a decent sized fuel voucher too, good for another...
