Yes JohnK in my experience the points are credited after the hotel stay. Does anyone else know better ? BTW I often find when there is big bonus point offer with Qantas hotels the price of the hotel is more than compared to before the offer.

Dr Ralph if you are concerned about reliability given your big road trip just book a late model Japanese make preferably from a fleet type provider ! There are however many individuals who are precious about their cars and will have good maintenance. Turo do not require an international driving...

The booking must be paid in full. There is a 100% refund with minimal cancellation notification required. I usually rent with Avis hence I am also considering a back up booking with them. Turo clearly does not suit everyone however apart from travel passion I am also a motoring enthusiast and...

Hi I have booked a car through Turo for 18 days in Los Angeles days commencing early April so can report back later. However for piece of mind I booked with LA Auto Spot who are a major business with an extensive fleet that only rent through the Turo platform. Dr. Ralph not sure where you need a...

Hi I have a QF93 flight coming up and I am not clear in relation to your comment of a 12 hour delay on February 24. Both Qantas and Flight Aware are showing the scheduled 11am departure time.

If you have millions of points lying around then using them as points plus pay to offset the full cash fare whether in part or total is not necessarily a bad thing. Yes the value is not as good as a reward seat but it is not as abysmal as some make out.

You should be able to book QF JNB-SYD reward seats via the BA points program. If a particular flight does not show up with reward seats as you suggest that means in most circumstances that they have already been taken by someone else. JNB-SYD is a very sought after reward route.

wow that is good ! Did you have to forfeit 6000 points per passenger for the cancellation ?

Hi there is another thread about this somewhere in the forum about the work around/IT glitch. Sorry I don't recall the detail but it does actually work as I initially had the same problem as you!

I would have thought if you separate the booking on line into two passengers then you could cancel one of them. I do know for a fact that if you separate there will be a new booking reference for the person you chose to separate out from the original booking but I have no experience in relation...

Are you sure it is 3 points per dollar for AIRBNB ? Isn't it one point per dollar ? Hotels often have the higher earn rate.

yes I also have my LAX-MEL April flight changed from A380 to B787. New seats have been allocated ( I am premium economy class) but I cant change them. Does that mean the premium economy cabin is full ?

wow this is going to catch people out ! Likewise I have been to both USA and Cuba, luckily Cuba was prior to 2021 hence my next USA trip in a few months should be ok

subject to award seat availability and your points balance you could make a new on-line booking and then cancel the existing. You will receive a full points refund if your original booking was made prior to end of September. Your new booking will however no longer benefit from flexible...

yes fair point. Post has been edited accordingly

just flew Melbourne-Broome and Broome-Perth-Melbourne over the September school holidays. Minimal delay with flights, No delay with luggage in MEL. Good service

Is this award seats or paid fare ? If it is the former I am able to make a dummy booking on line KIK_MEL flying with Jetstar until I stopped at the payment page.

Is the booking showing on your profile ? If so call them again and get them to try processing the payment again. Also call your credit card issuer.

If you have enough points for one passenger then do a dummy booking for that and test whether the points max out at the appropriate One World rate. If your September flight sector is yet to load on the system try an earlier date to ascertain the points required

I agree book the economy class back up. Dial into frequent flyer services for the fastrack points refund, The points and taxes WILL be refunded for a cancellation.
