Thanks for clarifying - and for the link, interesting. :-( Wonder what's wrong.

Interesting, on my phone (iPhone, Vodafone) it arrives as a regular SMS rather than a Flash SMS. For me, still hate it. The app is a PITA too, so I find myself requesting a SMS most of the time.

Hmm, bugger :-/ The release notes indicated a couple of US airlines' Sabre bookings couldn't be accessed unless booked through a TA - wonder if this practice is more widespread than the developer realised? Hopefully that's not it and it's just not working right at the moment though. Thanks for...

Hmm, I only have one upcoming itinerary with an airline that uses Sabre to test against - a US Airways award booking - and it's saying it can't find it. Am I wrong in thinking that US Airways use Sabre? Or is it not working right? Anyone got a VA booking they can test?

The update to MyFlights released overnight has added support for Sabre - yippee! Haven't tested it yet though.

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A This I did not know - how interesting. Is this "consistently"? Or only on some flights / routes? All subject to normal availability of course.

+1000 on this. I'm the person who gets to make these decisions at my workplace - we don't block anything, and just do some monitoring in the background. "Trust but verify" - works well as a general motto in life, and doubly so in the workplace. While I've never actually "tested" the alternative...

As I detailed in another thread (maybe earlier in this one?), I don't want to continue warehousing but really have no choice - don't use many VA points, and I already have SQ at a level where I'd be worried about any more transferred across expiring before I can use them. I suspect I'll cop an...

I think you missed the smiley - tongue was firmly planted in cheek :-)

Sorry, I meant specifically is it a real example that your business falls into one of the 0.33% interchange fee categories? You might have been answering that, but I'm not sure as I wasn't clear enough in my question.

Why would anything J be on anyone's "really want try to list", when F is just a few points more...? ;)

Yes, really. Give me one logical reason why putting a card into credit before paying any sort of bill is abuse? Note that saying "because they you could just pay cash" isn't a correct answer - that may be a sensible reason not to do it, but there's a big gap between "illogical" and "abuse"...

:-) I'll miss her. As a contrast there are plenty of stories of coughpy RMs around too - probably a case of can be good or bad depending upon who you get.

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! That's the normal price for that route with min points. Used to be a lot cheaper $$ wise too (with same min points).

Fixes problems, answers questions, arranges stuff. Whatever you ask for, within reason. I'm not entirely sure if there's anything you can achieve via a RM that you can't achieve via the Platinum call centre, but at the very least having one specific person you can call or e-mail (more...

No letter, but a call yesterday from my RM saying I won't have her anymore from 31 July. She said on the same call that it's now a blanket policy that only Cent cardholders get a RM. I'm not personally phased as I was never "meant" to have a RM in the first place - and somehow held on to her...

Interesting question. Visa/Mastercard/Amex certainly could (as Amex demonstrated recently, in fact) by increasing their government merchant fees (or creating a special fee category for ATO I guess), but it may also be "difficult" for them - e.g. they may have long-term contracts with the...

I can't comment on the comparative quality of the resturant / booze offerings as I didn't actually have a chance to eat at TPR (not to mention I'd just come off two consecutive R flights, so I was stuffed to overflowing already!), but to my mind the QF F Lounge wins in ambience / decor, and for...

Thanks for clarifying re the extent of the director's "artistic license" - that said, there are one or two shots where the pilot is applying a large roll input and you can also the airspeed indicator is "in the red", so perhaps he didn't entirely"make it up"? Or perhaps it is "real" footage of a...

I'd concur with this too - definitely worth trying if you've never been there, even if it's not the world's best lounge. Plenty of other stuff to do in Changi to keep you entertained for a 5.5 hour transit, too.
