In terms of places where the hotel itself is luxurious and beautiful, as well as being in a great location, then it's a toss-up between: Conrad Tokyo, overlooking the Hamarikyu Gardens and Tokyo Bay Waldorf-Astoria Versailles Trianon Palace, next to the Château grounds and including the old...

The individual rebate amounts track in the Savings tab in your online account. So you can see which credits have been processed so far this year, and determine the remainder.

I stayed in a Sonder property in Rome with my family, before the Marriott partnership. The location was great and the apartment was cool, but there were some glaring defects and I had to fight them (and Booking dot com) for months to be made whole. It was a complete clusterlovemaking. All this...

In a few months I have an FJ award in J (using QF points), SYD-NAN-DFW. Unfortunately on the day in question they had only the early-morning B737 SYD departure available as an award, not the lunchtime A350. I will keep my eye out for a QF or AA alternative (or UA using different points), or swap...

I think earn only keeps the earning account current, but a redemption is applied proportionally to every account in the pool so that keeps everyone current.

It's been a while since I redeemed Asia Miles for someone else (like, before COVID), but my recollection is that you can, but you have to mark them as a redemption nominee and changes to nominees are throttled over time, similar to KrisFlyer.

I have flights MEL-SYD vv this weekend. Both are Flex fares, booked during a double-status-credits offer. If I make a $ bid for a Business upgrade (def not worth the points increment), and am successful, I know I won't get extra SCs. But will my existing double SCs be safe or will the PNR...

I'm looking at MEL<>PER vv almost a year away, for a milestone birthday for a family member. I'm being offered results in J, on A330 equipment, often for both a ~6am departure and an ~8pm departure from MEL. (I'm using AA miles because the pricing is good and I have plenty, but would consider...

Have people received their Aug '25 status credits yet?

Yeah, I got the email yesterday.

They arrived sometime during the day Monday. (They weren't there when I checked ~06:00 but were there when I checked again ~22:00.)

I haven't received an email. I talked to NAB yesterday about another matter, and asked about this at the end and the agent knew nothing about it but said she was sure I would receive notice if it were to actually happen. (Of course I have less faith in bank employees than to treat that as...

Yeah, but I can use it for transactions I am making anyway. Interesting. I hit the 1000pt on my other cards, and I got the right number (~275) of points on a ~$55 transaction on the Edge last week. But a purchase made on Sunday for ~$148, which should have cleaned out the remainder, hasn't yet...

Anyone received Shop Small bonus points in the last few days? I did a significant spend on my Edge which should have just hit the remainder of the available Shop Small points, but that was nearly a week ago and the base points came through in a timely fashion but the bonus hasn't yet posted. I...

I think I have an offer for Mobile Tyre Shop or something like that on one or more of my cards? But Chicken's advice seems sensible, and (not needing tyres currently and not being an expert) I have not looked to see how the pricing is.

Yeah, they won't get their welcome bonus until they meet the conditions, but the referrer bonus routinely pays out within a day or two of card approval.

If I have a Flex booking made directly with VA, and I change it online to a different date (but same route), I keep the PNR and the attached double status credits, right?

You're correct that it isn't just proportional on distance: I am not sure what the actual basis is, though, sorry.

Is there a way I can check my miles expiry dates beyond the next six months so I can make sure they will still be valid if I cancel a booking I hope to make soon? Also is there a way to stitch together Star Alliance awards that don't appear by default online from segments that do (eg NH LAX-HND...
