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

    I've got a relation in the US who could apply for an amex card and get me a supplementary card. Does anyone know that once that happens I could transfer my NZ MR to the US card? Just trying to figure out what to do here... Does anyone have any experience also with Priority Pass card when you...

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

    Renewal is in Feb. Av spend around $12.5k/month. Rang today and they wouldn't put me through to retentions unless I'm going to cancel. Last year this was not the case. Last year they put me through without me saying I want to cancel and gave me some renewal points. It was an offshore operator I...

    How to find Aeroplan flights

    Agreed Aeroplan might not be running a good sale when I want to book something. Also agree, not going to buy aeroplan or Lifemiles speculatively anymore. Just too many ifs and buts. I had to try and contact Aeroplan the other day to cancel a booking that wouldn't go through online. Took me days...

    How to find Aeroplan flights

    Did anyone read that letter from Air Canada that came through last night? It states that script and other automated means are banned from being used to search for awards. Wonder how that will affect seats.aero. Without that option for searching I've gone right off aeroplan. I certainly won't...

    Transfer Choice Privileges points to Qantas or Velocity with 100% bonus until 30/11/23

    I bought some Choice points yesterday on special as I’m going to Scandinavia next year. I tried the smallest amount for $68.40 using my Wise Visa card yesterday. The points got credited immediately. Then I bought the maximum that I was offered to me of 100k + 50k bonus for $1030usd. That...

    Aeroplan (Air Canada) is now selling points

    Only got offered 100% on 100k+ points. Won't bother. The fees are too high and cancellation and change fees are too high. Also the call centre is hopeless when trying to get through. Would rather buy Alaska miles where the fees are very low, free change and cancellation and you can get through...

    Amex Centurion Card eligibility in Australia

    NZ member here. Our Amex plat card fee is $1250. Our spend is in the 6 figures. I don't think the Centurion card is worth it for $5k, even if they invite you and waive the joining fee. Even though you get a better earn rate which then = $1:1.25 airline miles. It's only on the partner airlines...

    British Airways Limits Partner Access to Reward Seats

    Qantas flights AU-US premium seats are virtually non existent on AS. Not surprised that BA are doing this. I bought a whole lot of Finnair miles and then some on a BA subscription. Happy about this development.

    Spending airpoints from australia?

    Have u tried looking on the air nz airpoints partner portal? It's under airpoints/rewards. I did notice though that air nz must be blocking a lot of the star alliance awards as even though they are showing on united, air nz isn't showing them. I was able to book some European flights this way...

    SQ long-haul J awards now available through Aeroplan?

    I think I might have got that message to call the call centre to book as I hadn't ticked 'book with aeroplan points'!!

    SQ long-haul J awards now available through Aeroplan?

    Thanks for that number. Maybe it's just randomly that SQ are not available to book online. Agreed SQ does appear sometimes. I was unable to get through a couple of months ago to aeroplan to change a flight that couldn't be changed online. There is not even any messaging option to send them a...

    SQ long-haul J awards now available through Aeroplan?

    It says you can no longer book SQ awards on the aeroplan site and that you have to ring the call centre. That's a backward step since you have to wait hours to get through to aeroplan call centre. In my view aeroplan is useless. With it's call centre wait times and exorbitant change fees. I...

    Iberia Plus earn at their e-store,

    Thanks @Mwenenzi. I've bought the Finnair points on sale which will get converted to Avios next year. In order to transfer avios to iberia plus you have to have earned 1 iberia plus avios already. I was wanting to keep my options open to use that Iberia Plus sweet spot of LAX-MAD for 34k at some...

As I'm in NZ I won't be travelling on QF anytime soon. Can someone tell me how to buy something on the iberia plus...

    50% Marriott Bonvoy / 30% Hilton Bonus Points when you Transfer Amex Rewards Points

    Just letting any NZ members know that amex nz did in fact have the same 50% MR to Marriott transfer in August. It was not showing up on the NZ amex site when you go to transfer MR. However I only found out by accident as I transferred over some MR to marriott to get to a multiple of 60k to then...
