    So... advice at this stage is not to cancel and re-subscribe when my membership becomes due but to just let it renew normally?

    Vinomofo Wine Deals

    I read that, but I was wondering when it came about? I've never received an email from Vinomofo about it, but judging from my account icon I'm at gold level. I just wondered if it's new, couldn't find much about it anywhere, thought there might be a thread, you know, being a tier/loyalty scheme...

    I prefer their Supernatural, can you confirm it's the Estate and not the Supernatural? https://www.ghostrock.com.au/wine/2022-estate-pinot-noir https://www.ghostrock.com.au/wine/coming-soon-2024-supernatural-pinot-noir Side note, has anyone heard of VIM Rewards? First time I saw it was the...

    Some Australian Ibis Budget properties now ALL participating

    Can now confirm an ibis budget does earn at the lowest level of 5 status points, despite not saying as such on the website earning table. Bit deceiving as you'd think it would come in with the other ibis properties, if not explicitly mentioned. No worries. Is what it is. "stayed" - haha ibis...

    Accor Plus Membership Discussion

    Another way to look at it is that if you can earn Platinum on your own through status points, by also buying Signature you'd actually net yourself Diamond, or near enough. While the points can be meaningless as you can't earn status points while using them, I find the experiences you can buy to...

    Fair enough. Not for me, but YMMV.

    That's a little annoying, I had assumed incorrectly that it was 4000 status points after I hit Platinum from whatever means.

    Some Australian Ibis Budget properties now ALL participating

    Can also confirm re: Ibis Budget and received a drink of choice from their alcohol fridge to take to my room. Will have to look at what I paid, change to Euro and so forth to work out what rate I'm earning at. I had assumed it was above Mantra rates as indicated by @oz_mark

    Room category codes

    I know this is late now, but I'd have though KG is King bed and the EF might be Executive Floor. I guess, as a Plat if you upgraded yourself, a complimentary upgrade might be even better.

    Accor | World's Best Exchange Rate Promotion

    Did you try enter a second time? I looked through the T&C and couldn't see anything about exchanging currency more than once... or attending both days?

    Accor | World's Best Exchange Rate Promotion

    Received notice about this in early November, but didn't see it posted here. Has anyone participated? I note that Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland have all had their day, but Brisbane is coming up on Thursday and Friday this week. I don't really work in the city, but was considering making a trip...

    Best use of Suite Night Upgrades?

    I was looking at the SNU's at the Sofitel Darling Harbour about a month or two ago. Could get the Junior suite about $750 and the Prestige Suite $850 but the Bellerive Suite was about $1200/night when I was looking, and I was very tempted. I couldn't quite workout if it was above the lounge or...

    QF Comfort seat / Extra seat with added odd frustrations.

    I was never able to select seats when I had EXST and usually ended up in row 6 or so of a Dash-8 compared to the first few rows when not on EXST. I used to have the system down pat in about 2012-2013 when I requalified WP on EXST in QLD alone. Used to be about $150 one-way on the milk-run, so...

    Proposed Social Media ban for under-16 kids

    You'd require birth date to be entered when signing up. Like anything, you can lie, but it would then come down to AFF to police. If you recall a few years ago there were two Aussie kids who wanted to start an airline and got some facetime with Alan Joyce? They were both in primary school and...
