Welcome to AFF!

Probably the only reason to choose VN Gold is if you fly in Vietnam domestically. As Elite Plus only covers international lounges (there are some domestic lounges available now including HAN and SGN, but not all), if there other VN lounges in Vietnam, VN Gold might give access where GA platinum...

Well, they may offer some card payments with a surcharge (e.g. Amex) and others surcharge-free (e.g. Visa/Mastercard). As others have noted, if they're applying card surcharges to all cards, that's a problem.

I'd email the boarding pass to [email protected] and argue that you're due for 715 points. (Sometimes, PE can merely be a glorified seat selection rather than a separate category of fare. Perhaps the system can cope with a ticket married to a business segment, but not where it's...

You need to find the booking class of the flights, which aren't on that... (EDIT Looking on Matrix ITA, economy books into L while business is I, Z or D. No premium economy. I suspect what's happened here is that you've been sold a premium economy ticket on a plane that doesn't have premium...

For the third time, what fare class was EZE-SCL booked as?

Grrrr... Got a notification tonight that a SYD-MEL flight I'd booked in J to try the A321XLR had its timing changed - and swapped to a 738 in the process. Went to change flight, but then realised I needed to check which flights now had the A321XLR, so I backed out of the change process and...

No codeshares involved? What was the booking class of EZE-SCL? https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/earn-points/airline-earning-tables/earn-category-tables.html#latam

Here ya go. 6000 points and a green tier leaf for $177.

As far as I can tell, Garuda is one of the easiest Skyteam airlines to obtain Elite Plus status on (along with Air Europa). It requires 30,000 miles initially and 25,000 to renew (if I'm reading this correctly). By contrast, to get Elite Plus on VN requires 50,000 miles. BUT VN's Skyteam's Elite...

The question of the quantum of fines is also irrelevant to the matter at hand. The question is who should be fined.

Folks needing to complete 'fuel and cars' should check their emails. This morning, I got a (possibly targeted) email from Qantas inviting me to activate an offer with BP for 3x250 points for three visits (no minimum spend it seems) by 31 January. Time to go and buy a few more bags of chips...

The question of whether or not fines can be contested was, and remains, irrelevant to the discussion at hand and I don't understand why you're making such a big thing about it... The original quote by @Brissy1 was "I presume APRA (like Courts) can choose to fine directors personally, but...

There really isn’t! This is one of the more silly hills I’ve seen people want to die on. Should @Brissy1 have said ‘issue an infringement notice to’ rather than ‘impose a fine on’? Sure, but we got the idea. At the end of the day, both result in a person being penalised financially which is the...

When you buy a QF codeshare on Emirates, Qantas is basically selling a seat on EK in the capacity of an agent. Yes, they dress it up with a few more loyalty frills and perks (seat selection! status credits! more points!), but at its core, when you buy a QF8xx_ flight, Qantas is acting as a...

Semantics much? In the legal lingo, one is a court-imposed pecuniary penalty while one is a pecuniary penalty paid as a consequence of receiving an infringement notice. But both examples are 'fines' though in the popular lingo.

Agree - Qantas make you scroll past a lot of other options before their EK codeshares show up. Not surprising as I imagine there'd be not much margin basically being a travel agent for Emirates...

There's been a lot of manufactured uncertainty created on here and OzBargain, but all the official communications to date state that the fee waiver is staying, so (for now at least) this is not changing. (Oh I forgot to mention that if you're paying for the Premier card, there's no real reason...

Infringement notices are fines by another name (basically, 'cough up or we prosecute'). As the trustees don't seem to have any skin in the game under the current arrangements, because it comes out of members' pockets, they presumably paid. If super funds are being treated like regular...

A lot of corrections for my November transactions show up in December (as this is when they were done).
