After 13 long years with the Prestige - Cancelled today. No mention from CSR as to why I wanted to Cancel - nor did I say anything. Had great value of the card while it lasted all these years.

Similar experience for a claim recently for damage to a rental in Europe. Claimed settled and paid in a day from Amex.

Mine (Personal Pt) is due late Oct. Looks like no one is getting a dice on bonus points lately. 1728973462

I've noticed the plain BP is more often for flights originating from Mel as opposed to other destinations. They are still dishing out the coloured SQ BP's at nearly all other airports.

@Cruiser Elite are these the right ones. If yes, I have 10-12 each of these and would be happy to part with a few if anyone is keen.

Having just been back from Europe, Germany was by far the cheapest for all kinds of alcohol. Bought 2 of Blended Scotch (Abrachan and Ben Bracken 20 Yr), 1 Cognac, 1 Brandy (Majestat), 2 Sierra Tequila (Regular and Chilli). Total of 7 Bottles was around Euro 96. This was at Lidl. Teachers in...

Had a horrid experience with Sixt in Europe made through Amex Travel. In saying that, Amex CC have been great in resolving issues. So there is that to consider. We have a wide range of car rental options in Australia that are competitive - so it shouldn't matter much from who to use.

Yup would be keen on how to achieve this and by what quantum?. Cheers

Had the survey but nothing regarding AF in any of the questions. More questions along the lines of what other benefits would be good and whether using other cards for spend etc.

I am in BLR multiple times a year. Indigo has been dropping the ball lately and it is no secret that the CSR needs a complete overhaul. There is a refurbishment of T1 that has commenced and will bring in an Automated People Mover between the 2 terminals apparently. So that should make it easy...

I can concur that as per AAA99's post that it is quicker to walk between the both terminals. The issue mostly is with Indigo (6E). If QF and 6E destination are not interlined at the origin airport - it is even more problematic as the bags have to be individually checked in (and the time limit...

United is offering a 30% bonus for conversions from various hotel programmes between 1 Oct until 31 Oct 23. So with its special relationship with Marrriott, folks have the opportunity to convert 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points to 39,000 United MileagePlus miles. i.e 30,000 miles plus 9,000 bonus...

Sorry the Charge Card I meant, not reserve.

Charge Card: Annual fee due mid-late Oct. Same dance (devaluation, surcharge etc.. etc..). Was offered 100K points which posted into account immediately. Spend around 600-700K per year.

Heaps of availability in J (saver and advantage) to Europe (Brussels, Frankfurt and Munich). Snagged 3J (2 Savers 1 Advantage) for school holidays ex Mel in July. With intra flights within Europe handy, easy to get to Europe in J for 130K points

Should be the Asia leg - I think. There are at least 2 J saver available to SIN ex Mel cities during June/July 24. Europe (Brussels/Frankfurt etc) also showing 2 J savers at 130K points during June/July 24 for random dates

The order is: Book the available saver Waitlist the second saver on the same flight Book the advantage (if sufficient miles available) and upon/if confirmation of saver/waitlist - get the CC guys to swap This has worked a few times for me ensuring all 3 iin our family are together on the same...

We have had a couple of J waitlist for Dec 23 clear this morning. These were waitlisted during Jan 23. Also made a few other bookings for FY24, looks like Ex Mel and SYD to SIN are mostly waitlisted (even Advantage), but onward destinations from SIN seems to have availability. BTW also released...

Explorer Card - Hardly being used as Wife is a supplementary on Platinum. Rung today, cancelled and reinstated for 80K points. Was previously putting through around 10-15k pm on the explorer, now in the few hundreds.

I just got off the phone to Citi and apparently there will be a credit check inspite of one having a citi credit card
