If you read up on accounts being locked, you'll not be surprised. Mrs BJReplay was locked. It took around 8 hours of hold time over about three calls to get her unlocked, and that was an ordeal, only with an (empty, as it turns out) threat that we'd fly united instead if we couldn't access her...

Similar timing for me. Still waiting... I'm showing 50k status in Aeroplan, but no points...

That's the thing: it's not just the flights, it's everything else: whether it's work, conferences, family events, weddings, funerals: you name it, people will miss things. That's why they travel when they probably shouldn't (or aren't certain), and that's why it's difficult to expect cabin crew...

Actually, now that I think about it - I have recently changed my email address for CBA - it used to be [email protected] and I've changed it to [email protected]. One of the reasons I change (not just CBA, but pretty much all addresses) is a) I'm retiring the old mydomain.com.au...

Interesting - it appears that they're relying on email for the notice in your case as well. If the email has failed to be delivered, that's on them, despite their best attempts to contract out of it, as you have no way of knowing that they've attempted to notify you of an email but failed. If...

Yep, always do, before buying, when comparing policies. This trip was previously scheduled for 2020, cancelled (and partially refunded under TI due to covid - there was a brief window when flights were being cancelled but before the WHO declared it was a pandemic, and I claimed for...

Well, sure enough, they've charged me a fee, and I've started off with a chat enquiry rather than a complaint. The chat enquiry (eventually, when I asked for advice about how and when I would have been told about the changes) advised me that I was notified on the last page of my July statement...

When did you meet the threshold / first hit gold? How long was the wait between hitting gold and getting status with Aeroplan and you getting your bonus points? Had you credited any points to Aeroplan, or did you go from 0 to 50,000?

TL;DR; you fly when you're sick because TI says you won't get covered if you're not hospitalised, and your flight is non-refundable. I probably could have (if push came to shove) found accommodation in Reykjavik for 5 or 10 days - but I was still testing positive 10 days later. I could have...

Yeah, I can't remember being notified (and at the time I was waiting to be notified having read the threads / commentary on various sites including this one in real time), and I checked on Monday to confirm - no notices by email, no notices attached to statements. I've got every other notice...

I'm about to test CBA on notices. I have an Ultimate Card where the spend to avoid the fee is $2,500 per month. Having not been notified of any changes to my credit card T&Cs, and having opened not one, but two (one for me, one for Mrs BJReplay) HSBC Star Alliance cards, my spend for the...

Yeah, will do. I've got to double check - I have until the 9th of Dec to nominate or re-nominate for Mrs BJReplay. It is possible that we haven't yet nominated the status/earn airline for her, yet. Which might be good, because at least points won't be potentially lost, but 50,000 bonus points...

Yeah, that's my expectation. I think that there is a way around that, but I am not about to detail that here... I tend to agree. However, what I haven't yet done, but will, is compare, in detail, the T&Cs of my current preferred travel insurance, CBA ultimate included insurance, and HSBC...

Main thing was to get Gold from 1 Jan which should last through all 2025 with Air Canada. It's not clear if the status gets cancelled the moment the card gets cancelled. Air Canada seems to offer the best chance of long status and 50,000 bonus miles.

Undecided, but probably not.

Gotta make it by the 9th of Dec. Fingers crossed

Yeah, that's apparently what they ask for - like a utility bill. Only thing in my wife's name is rates. Licence has address as you point out, but given how slow they are, I figured providing too much rather than too little was the way to go.

No, not yet. It is now a week since the ID and proof of residency was sent though. There's a reddit thread where someone who works for Aeroplan answers questions, and that person reckons 2 to 4 weeks. I'm annoyed with myself though - I thought for some reason it was $4,500 spend to earn gold...

Mrs BJReplay got approved, but right at the point of getting ready to set her up for Star Alliance linking to Aeroplan, it turns out that her Aeroplan account has been deactivated. Your Aeroplan account has been deactivated. Please contact us at 1-800-361-5373 for assistance. This has hit a...

Indeed - I was able to click through from the notification from this thread. Thanks!
