    Cathay "World of Winners" promo - discounted tickets to Hong Kong

    Sounds like we need to use our Asia miles number for the flight... well at least it gives us the chance to upgrade to J using points. Since it's class O we will likely not earn QF points anyway if we could switch to QFF.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Hmm looks like even for the mid tier US Amex cards MyUS still comes through with it. Not sure if its because I have a unique name and its the only one on their system. Have to still cop $20.99 USD to send the package but I will accept it. Sort of thinking about the Bonvoy Brilliant but holding...

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Going with the flight offset on my 3rd go around with Green Tier... Will try offsetting an existing flight on the Qantas bookings but I heard it's hit or miss. If I book at Jetstar flight on the Jetstar website, does it show up under the Qantas bookings? If not, a classic reward flight with QF...

    New wine and hotel vouchers came in today, looks like its no longer your birthday but rather once the new membership year starts.

    Qantas apologises to frequent flyers with status extensions, lounge passes, points & more reward seats

    250 SC rollover confirmed for the April anniversary + 100 SC rollover as a PC+ member. No need to call up as well, looks like the teething issues beforehand with the SC rollovers are resolved.

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    I know some have done it already, but can confirm that you can finish all your 5 leaves towards the end of the existing membership year and then the rewards show up for 90 days. The 50 SCs can count towards the next membership year if you wait for it to roll over with the selections still there...

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Hilton Brisbane is top notch, got the full Diamond-level experience there. Only Hilton-branded hotel which I got upgraded to a suite/top room free of charge in Australia. Everything was free for breakfast, even the made to order omelettes.

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    No urgency to buy it since I will wait for my membership to roll over to May, but Balnaves The Tally Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 case of 6 with 18000 bonus points looks interesting. Costs $459 after discounts with PCP...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Which I have so the 'Request an upgrade' button shows up for the Surpass (not the Aspire as I already have one). If I go request an upgrade, does it come with bonus points?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    The site says I am eligible to upgrade from the Hilton No Annual Fee to the Surpass but there has to be a targeted email to get a bonus points offer (100-150k HH), is that correct? No mention of an offer when I go to my account...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Always thought that even purchasing a JQ starter fare would count towards the 4 flights for status... Looks like it has to be a status earning flight, thus why Qantas CR flights with PC always counted for me.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Pretty much no need to edit your address on your Hilton or Marriott accounts, the points transfer and the status updates would work fine. Although what it could mean is that you won't be getting any HGV Timeshare email offers so if a good one comes up like 150k HH + 3 nights you have to call...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    On the JQ website? There is an option of where to credit the flight - Jetstar voucher or Qantas points. Then you enter your QFF number

    Honors Mystery Bonus on Purchasing Points until May 8th 2023

    Got a promotional email about this offer. I think points can be best used when there are big events on and the usual rates are very high, but some Hilton hotels would have a soft cap on the standard room award rates like 50k on Doubletrees, or 60k on some Hiltons and thats where it can be put...

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Interesting, I was at the DT Melbourne during the Grand Prix weekend and the $10 full breakfast charge was applied for me. Did get 25% off at the Platform 270 bar and restaurant if I spent $35 before the discount though as an added benefit

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    Even other people are surprised at how we can get Y seats for so cheap, like telling them a SYD-LAX CR is only $350 + X points. Even better if its J.
