    Citi Premier - priority pass guests

    Planning to use the 2 Priority pass lounge visits on my Citi Premier card. T&Cs state: "The first two visits within each 12-month membership period from registration (membership year) are complimentary to the primary cardholder only, after which any additional visits by you and visits by your...

    Platinum Economy Reward Seat Guarantee - Status credits

    Understood, but for the Platinum seat guarantee seats they draw from revenue fare classes if reward seats are not available. So trying to understand if reward conditions apply, or those of the underlying fare class.

    Platinum Economy Reward Seat Guarantee - Status credits

    Do they ever book into lite (and hence no bag)? It would be odd if a reward seat came without a luggage entitlement, but earning SCs for the whole family might make up for it...

    Marriott Bonvoy Preferred Partnership With KrisFlyer - KF Silver Fastrack

    There is a Platinum challenge available under this partnership - KrisFlyer gold and above get offered a 10 nights in 6 months challenge, which is much more generous than the usual challenge. Unclear if Bonvoy award or cash and points nights count though: Marriott Bonvoy® and KrisFlyer Preferred...

    Account locked online - any ideas?

    I have a similar issue - I have online access but since last Friday I've stopped receiving Qantas MFA SMS. Means no family transfers, profile updates etc. Can't set up the authenticator app either without receiving an SMS - any workarounds other than calling?

    QF FF points now earned and redeemable on Railway journeys

    Disappointing! Best value non-flight reward going, which is a shame. Any idea how date changes or refunds would work after 15 December, given there would be non 'classic rail award' availability to change to?

    Etihad Guest miles be used to book Virgin Domestic?

    The availability Etihad Guest has on VA is odd though - for example for online booking MEL-SYD it will only show the first few flights of the day, even though availability is wide open all day on Velocity. Has anyone had better luck by calling?

    Citibank "4th night free" perk

    Yes I have just encountered this - they no longer use expedia.com.au, but switchfly, a whitelabel OTA which has far fewer options. Means there is no longer an obvious way to search price and availability online, which is a big downgrade compared to just a few months ago. I think availability...

    Mixed cabin award on QR

    Trying to book SYD-DOH in F and DOH-CDG in J with a 3 hour layover in DOH - availability for 2 pax showing up in both legs. Velocity website says I will be charged per segment for a mixed cabin award, but call centre said QR is not allowing mixed cabin transits on a single ticket, can only book...

    Credit Card Offers CommBank Ultimate Awards Card: 100K award points – potentially fee free

    Applied for the Ultimate and they sent out the standard Awards card with a $1000 limit! is this an error or a deliberate downgrade (i.e. they didn't approve me at the Ultimate level)?

    Do Citi have a '12 month' rule?

    Has citi down away with the the exclusion period on the prestige card as well? All I can see on the current offer is "New Citi Prestige credit card customers only and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers." Closed my last citi card in Oct 2022 and will close my NAB before...

    FINALLY! - Citi launching Citi Prestige with Visa Infinite

    From my limited experience works on all hotels on Expedia.com.au, it is 25% discount of the total pre-tax price, so in some high-tax countries the savings are much less than 25%. You also don't get any hotel status benefits with the big chains.

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    It shows as 737 (73H) as I expected, so agree likely a display issue, but would be interesting to know why.

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    Is there any rhyme or reason to not listing the aircraft type in the booking tool (common example on SYD-MEL below)? Clicking through on the flight number both say 737-800 - is it possible the blank one is going to be upgraded to A330 at some point or is it essentially random?

    Annual Fee refund

    What in Amex's current annual fee refund policy? Thinking of getting the Platinum card as only decent sign up bonus at the moment (for personal cards) but wouldn't need the card for the full year.

    Virgin Australia Discover Gold (Status Match)

    Any credit card sign up bonuses giving status credits at the moment or on the near horizon? SCs on the ground unsurprisingly seem to have dried up since borders opened again and most of my flying in outside the next 3 months.

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Yes, I was thinking that; I have a stopover to spare so might see if I can book MEL-SYD a day or two in advance and move it to same day once I get a good agent (or even try to do online as I've seen some of my multi-city awards can now do date changes online)

    Qantas married segment logic

    I'm facing this on an outbound OWA - I can't tag a MEL-SYD leg onto to QF1, even in economy. I have a stopover in hand so I wonder if it is possible to book an overnight stopover in SYD and then try to change to a same day connection online (I see you can now change dates on multi-city awards...
