Thanks both.

Does anyone with a review from October onwards, have a screenshot they're willing to redact as necessary and share, of what the progress to renew (say) Gold looks like? I'm especially interested in how it shows the difference between personal bum-in-seat VA credits and others from family...

They just put Kris and Skywards up (and Skywards transfers are starting to be locked and/or devalued in the US market, where virtually everything is 1:1) so I don't see that changing. I am hopeful for Aeroplan though, especially since it's a partner of US Amex.

Yes, this is the conclusion I reached. I have been a customer for six years and grudgingly accepted the lack of Amex for their other benefits. So this offer (on my primary Edge and wife's primary Plat, but no supps or Reserve) alerted me to the change in policy. I paid the minimum spend on the...

I always understood the way the rules were written to mean that the new rules would apply from your first renewal anniversary after the 01/10/25 start date. And that was why it was announced a full year in advance, so nobody could have actually purchased a ticket that was treated differently...

So if I book flex fares during the double-SC promo, and then later I change the date, it keeps the double SCs, right? They're linked to the booking and not the specific flights?

Great. If I can split the PNR online and then cancel the unneeded one, that will be ideal. I very much would rather not cancel both and hope one returns.

I am looking into a future long-haul trip; in a few weeks, the booking calendar will start to open for the relevant dates. My daughter has indicated some interest in coming with me, but it's possible she will decide later not to come. If I make an award booking for two people, but in the end...

Yes, I used this for an overseas trip last year after Coles added FX fees, because the Zip FX fee is only 1.0%. But the default credit limit for Zip is only $350, which is quite limiting. (I have a US-based Amex Gold with no FX fee, so I use that wherever Amex is accepted.)

Yes, the Loft is on the A Pier, which is where all the Schengen flights arrive and depart. If departing BRU from landside, the security is common then you head to A for Schengen flights or through passport control to the B Pier for somewhere further afield. (Obvs say LHR or EDI or MAN, despite...

The advice above seems sensible, but I would recommend that if you can get your bags checked through and not clear passport control (both inward then outward) in BRU, that you do that. The Loft is cool, especially the self-pour beer taps, but exiting Schengen at BRU, for a BRU-LHR flight, took...

If you have Australian Amex you can transfer those direct to Qatar Privilege Club. But I'm not sure where the 35k vs 119k comes from? If SYD/MEL/BNE<>DOH, I think that's the Y Avios vs J Velocity rates?

A datapoint: Linked accounts, Thu morning. Made (and received delivery of) Doordash order, shortly afterward. Points in Velocity account (two separate line items for base points plus welcome bonus), on waking Saturday morning.

Yes, I'm pretty sure at least one of the places that paid-out for me, used Tyro.

Terminal screen tends to look something like this:

Yes, I effectively got paid $9 to enjoy my ~$45 two-course express steak lunch. 1746674891 I have a datapoint for this too. The restaurant is affirmatively on the map but they've switched to Lightspeed and it didn't pay out.

I confirm this stacked at the Meat & Wine Co in Southbank Vic this week. It did so despite the restaurant not even being on the AEDMO map.
