    Amex Platinum $200 "Dining credit" towards a list of Global Restaurants

    I used my overseas credit in Paris last year and planning to use this years credit in Tokyo. Any restaurant recommendations? Would be keen for steak. How far in advance does the booking need to be made and the courses selected?

    Hawaiian Airlines will no longer be an Amex transfer partner

    Very sad news indeed. I've really taken advantage of Alaska redemptions the last few months. Much better value compared to QF.

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    I was walking to one of the Priority Pass lounges and noticed the OneWorld lounge on the way so thought I'd stop by and try my luck. I confidentally handed over my Jetstar boarding pass and my phone showing my Qantas digital card from the app and was welcomed inside. Pretty basic lounge overall...

    American Express adds British Airways as Membership Rewards transfer partner

    As per Pointhacks: https://www.pointhacks.com.au/news/american-express-membership-rewards-british-airways-partnership/ Imo, fairly redundant with transfers to Qatar already possible. I’ve found transferring to Alaska via Hawaiian very handy of late. Great redemptions available on Alaska...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Flying ICN-SYD on JQ in business class (not a business max fare) and wanted to know whether I'd be able to access the Oneworld lounge in ICN. I have platinum status with QF. I'd assume no considering I'm not flying on a Oneworld airline but I note this paragraph from this article -...

    No Champagne in QF AKL F lounge

    I believe QF announced the SYD-AKL-JFK route sometime in 2022 with the promise of the lounge upgrade by the time the route starts, and yet the works haven't even started. What a letdown.

    Hawaiian Airlines > Alaska Airlines

    Well I just did my first Alaska redemption and it was an entirely straight forward process. Firstly, I created Hawaiian and Alaska accounts. I then transferred my Amex MR points to my Hawaiian account which came through instantly. I then used the following link to transfer my new Hawaiian...

    Hawaiian Airlines > Alaska Airlines

    I know Hawaiian Airlines has been an Amex transfer partner for some time now. I'd heard somewhere that with the Hawaiian and Alaska merger you can transfer miles between those two programs. I know Alaska has some pretty good redemption sweet spots and of course they are part of OneWorld. I'd...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Just had 2x J seats released for QF3 SYD-JFK via AKL at end of September right at the beginning of school holidays. Pretty chuffed about that.

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    From the Mirvac development? I expected that to impact the Novotel and Ibis but didn't realise it would impact Sofitel.

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    The pork patties were delicious. Super spicy which I like. Wasn't impressed with the dan dan noodles. I found it quite bland. The fried chicken bao tasted like the chicken had been prefried as it was dry and cold.
