Successfully merged my Explorer and Edge. Thanks for your help Imipenam and everyone else. If anyone has question on how I did it - ping me and i'll be happy to walk you through the process.

How long does it take them to link the Explorer to the Ascent? Been waiting for about 2 weeks now.

Thanks Fitz, found it. Looks like you need to have the Plat Charge before you get offered the Centurion? Did anyone skip the Platinum?

Centurion holders - how much did you spend a month to qualify? And which Amex did you have before the Centurion? I am currently on the Explorer, doing ~$100k per month (and paying on time). Do you think these amounts will qualify me? How long will it take?

Thanks! There's only 10k bonus points on at the moment so not really significant.

So there's no need to unlink if you start with Explorer? Just apply for plat edge and your points transfer once you call the American call centre?

Which card do you use to get 2 PPD with the Explorer? The Platinum Edge is 1 PPD on most spend? [EDIT: Got it, Explorer] So to clarify: 1. I have the Explorer, bonus points received 2. I should now apply for the Platinum Edge 3. Once received, call the A/H and ask them to link my Gateway to...

Admins - please delete or move if not allowed here. Amex Explorer finally released their referral links. You get 110,000 points (converts to 82,500 miles on most programs) vs the current 100,000. $395 fee (off set against $400 travel credit). Effective earn rate of 1.5 miles per $ spend, or 1...

Uber's food delivery service is working great in Sydney, Melbourne and even the US (I used it all the time when I was there). The benefit over other food delivery services is that they don't charge for delivery. Use my promo code to get $10 off your first order (and I'll get $10 as well)...

Yes, its the supp card option. If I get one of the ones that converts at 1:1, will I keep my regular plan (Explorer, 4:3) or join the better one (like the Edge)?

Hey guys Card received and bonus points posted as soon as the transactions moved out of pending. Quick question - I noticed I can apply for another Amex card without a fee. Will this be another credit check? Am I right in thinking that if I get the platinum charge (that shows up as one of the...

Applied and approved for a card on Friday saying the card will be shipped within 5 - 7 days. Am I supposed to get a confirmation email or text?

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! [not the discussion thread] Hey guys, Will be in the US (NYC) and need to get to LAX. Any suggestions about how to maximise QF Status credits through flying AA? Or what is the best way to search for fares? Ideally I need about 570 SC to reach...

I was fortunate enough to book some great award fares using AA including: JAL F SFO - TYO CX P HKG - NYC EK F MEL - AUH QF F AUH - MEL What was your favourite redemption?

Check availability on JAL through BA site, you will need to call AA to book it though. I just booked First class USA - TYO and then business TYO - SYD.

Hey everyone, I've put a fare on hold and forgot to book it. Perhaps 30 minutes after the hold expired, the fare was gone (not on hold and not online). Do you know how long it takes for the fare to go back to being available online after I didn't book it? Thanks

I purchased some points last night (80+28) and logged in today to see if the points have been deposited . They haven't yet, but I did see a promotion on for 125,000 points at 1.9c or so. Too bad I maxed out for the year as could have been nice to buy another 80k points and do first class return...

Oops, yes you are right. Star Alliance. Direct flights to PVG in short notice are hard to come by so was pretty lucky.

Booked the other day MEL - PVG with China Air through USDM. Direct flight, 2 Jan - 14 Jan return in business class (sorry not sure what class it is, J?). 90,000 points I bought from the previous promotion + tax worked out to be just over A$2,000. I was surprised to see you can still book on...

Hey guys, Excuse my ignorance (and apologies in advance if this was asked before) but I wanted to run something past you. With the current points bonuses on both AA and US Airways, is it worth doing the following? - Buy the max amount from AA (108k points, 2.2c per point) - Buy the max...
