I've been looking at Aer Lingus SEA-DUB-AMS on AS site. Does anyone know why sometimes the J awards are priced at 60k for the first week and then jump up to 280k?? I was wondering if there is a pattern to this. By the time I moved my miles from MR-Marriott-AS the price had jumped up. Took a good...

Just letting you know AS won't hold bookings, whilst you cancel your existing bookings. Sadly!

I am able to change parts of my multi city existing booking online. But the new route I saw is a completely different one. Unfortunately the operator at alaska said she couldn’t hold the new booking whilst I cancelled the old one. I didn’t cancel my existing booking as I’m not 100% sure if the...

I would like to attend. Can confirm around august. Only have to go from Auckland 🤪

I've seen a flight I want to take instead of the booking I already have on Alaska site. Does anyone know if AS call centre will put a booking on hold, whilst you cancel the existing booking, and then make the new booking. I don't want to cancel one flight and then see the new flight I want to...

That's interesting. I find Accor customer service the biggest time waster, trying to sort things out with them, every time there's an issue. No one seems to know what's going on there. I got the accor QF gold upgrade, then they sent me a silver card. There was quite a bit of toing and froing to...

Just wondering has anyone been offered Alaska Airlines 60% bonus? I only ever get offered 40% bonus. I've bought a few miles off them in the past. Just wondered what their criteria are.

What do you mean by relay or custom email domains? I had gmail email addresses that go through sometimes and sometimes they don’t.

I also had trouble with points purchases with Choice hotels and Aeroplan lately, using various credit cards, amex and visa and wise visa. Sometimes they go through, sometimes they get held up. I rang amex and they said the payment wasn't blocked so I think it's points.com randomly blocking your...

Does anyone know why sometimes the points purchases get posted immediately and sometimes they say it's going to take 48-72 hours to post the points purchases? I know that sometimes the credit card companies block the transaction initially but I found that one time it went through immediately for...

Thanks roo! That’s awesome. More work today… I will look into this. Christchurch could be an option. Still want to do Hanoi stopover but I have flexibility. I could just buy a flexi NZ fare from CHC-AKL. I noticed NZ is also releasing OOL-AKL award space too. Might have to rebook my whole...

Thanks roo for those helpful suggestions. I’ll look into emirates to EUR-AKL next. I’ve been spending far too much time on the aeroplan site lately… just came to aeroplan lately. I kept thinking it was too complicated and didn’t look into it until I found this thread. I did see there was...

I'm going to buy some aeroplan speculatively. I booked LGW-HAN on Bamboo J for 80k in mid June. I'm based in AKL but couldn't get it to work any other way to get to AKL, so I have HAN-AKL on SQ J with AS for 65k miles as well. Not the cheapest option but just glad to get any availability at...

Only got offered 40% max bonus which isn't going to do it for me. I've found the AS chart too expensive in some areas and no use for BA flights with those surcharges. I've moved on to Aeroplan and hotel points on sale.

I booked for the kids on AKL-KUL on SQ via AS. The tickets only had their first and last names. However I made sure afterwards that their Mileage Plan and their Kris Flyer accounts had their full names. I had to ring both airlines. I just wanted to make sure. I think it would have been quite a...

Hi Just wondering if anyone can help me. I've booked LGW-HAN in J on Bamboo Airlines which arrives at 5.30am into Hanoi airport. Does anyone know if I can go to a lounge for a few hours until I can check into my hotel? I guess it would have to be airside on the international arrivals area...

Just wondered if anyone else is finding that points are taking a long time to post from points.com when you buy them in a hotel loyalty program sale. I bought some in the IHG sale and the first lot posted almost immediately and then the second lot took 4 days I think. Then I tried buying some...

Good suggestion. Thanks. You could put quite a bit of rent on the amex credit card and get 3x, even if you had the edge card, and the landlord accepted the Visa one gift cards bought at Coles.

Thanks. They were only really wanting to put rent on the amex card.

Just wondering, does anyone have experience with paying your rent on a credit card in Sydney? Just asking for a friend who moved there. TIA
