I I noticed I got a 15% discount for being Jade. Wasn't aware of that. Even though expensive for the locals I can recommend coming to KL for shopping as things are still quite reasonable for overseas travellers. The parkson elite shop in KL is fabulous. Better than DJs.

Went and had a coffee and cake at KL Shangri-La. Showed my digital golden circle card. They plug it into their till and your details come up. Then the number appears on the reciept they give you. I noticed the purchase was appearing on my golden circle account. So should qualify now. Hopefully.

Ring accorplus and ask them to extend the stay plus night.I had a bit of trouble at first as they said I hadn’t renewed but once Amex renewed they agreed to extend the stay plus and I have two nights showing on my account. The only bummer is that the Pavilion kl doesn’t seem to offer stayplus...

Holy cow I’ve spent quite a bit of time trying to log on to my golden circle account to get my golden circle account number. I tried the hkg number that pops up when you get the message that your email isn’t verified and to ring that number. That number just disconnects. Finally found an old...

I’m having fun and games trying to log on to the golden circle app as I don’t have a verified email address or mobile number. So I have to ring or email golden circle. An email was sent out during covid asking to set up 2FA but I overlooked it. Hopefully I can get this done before I leave kl in...

Will let u know how I get on. Could almost book a cheap stay at kul shangrila but read that email properly re coffee. I'm planning to travel a bit around Asia next year so jade status could come in handy. Not keen on Hong Kong anymore even though their Shang there is spectacular.

Just wondering, how does this work re the coffee at a shangrila. I guess you have to show your membership number? I’m near the KL shangrila currently.

Does anyone have any ideas how to get from EUR-HANOI mid June next year? What’s the best way to access Vietnam Airlines J space EUR-Asia? I saw that AS has CX LHR-HKG in F for 70k miles + $299USD mid June. I could buy the miles for $1000USD in the AS sale but I only got 40% offer so $1299USD...

Recieved that email from Marriott today saying the 5k transfer bonus for transferring 60k points will no longer apply to AA transfers as of 31 Oct. That is an alarming piece of news. AA were quite good in the past with their 5 day hold option on award bookings. I have got some good use out of...

Thanks all. SQ has changed my Krisflyer account to include my middle name. They also changed the tickets for the SIN-SFO leg to include middle names. I think it's confusing because on the krisflyer account in the name space it says something like 'First (given names)' which is confusing. I...

Hi Just wondering if anyone can help me. I got tickets on SQ AKL-SIN via AS for next week. The tickets don't have our middle names because our profiles on AS don't have our middle names. Has anyone had issues checking in without middle names on the SQ tickets? For our onward bookings from...

AS are having their latest miles sale promotion. I got the usual 40% offer. Just wondering does anyone on here actually ever get the 50 or 60% offer? Just wondering what criteria they use to make the offers. I’m definitely not buying speculatively with their imminent changes coming up.

Thanks all. Did a test run comparing NZ award space on AKL-LAX in Nov, (that was showing on that site that scrapes the data off avianca etc) and then checked on expert flyer, where it was showing as I space. Then went to United where the award was showing for 99k United miles but wasn't showing...

Just wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm trying out expert flyer to get alerts for NZ award space released to Star Alliance partners. What class of booking am I looking for here? Do I use the flight availability function or the awards and upgrades function to search and set up alerts...

We keep getting $30 vouchers as well when booking flights, international ones. My partner is QF lifetime silver. They only have a 72 hour timeframe. I just thought they were like discount vouchers. Was wondering if the qantas hotels have the best rates anyway. Does anyone know?

Interesting discussion. I’ve certainly learnt a lot about aeroplan in the last couple of days. Might try generating some bookings with stopovers online. Just weighing up options. Its definitely advantageous if you want a few stopovers to try aeroplan. I guess the key to it is also getting the...

Thanks for this MEL. Just read the routing rules. Wow those aeroplan call centre people have to be quite highly skilled to do some of these bookings.

Many thanks K/roo88. Do you mean searching sector by sector? I used AS to go on J, AKL-NAN-LAX-JFK for 55k, then JFK-HEL-LHR for 70k. With stopovers in LAX, JFK and HEL. I think I’ll keep those in place as I read AS may devalue and don’t want to be left with AS miles. I’m going off AS. Some of...

Thanks for this post. It must be the most helpful post I've ever read since doing points hacking. Just wondering how far in advance did you have to line this all up? I might try and just emulate what you did. However couldn't see any J awards on EY out of Melbourne at the moment. There's quite a...
