With HSBC still dragging their heals, I applied for the Amex Hilton (No AF) with the soft pre-approval link. It asked for the ITIN letter and passport. Was fully expecting it to decline, but I received a call today and they went through to APPROVE it with a low CL of $1000. I was able to setup...

Not from my experience.... I applied via a US RM as discussed in this forum. They sent me a pre-filled form which I submitted. It was auto declined and I was asked to fund my USD account. Still waiting for the manual processing.

Yep, velocity wants me to cancel and rebook paying $60 in cancellation fees

Here is a data point. While I wait for HSBC to process my Premier CC, I tried the C1 pre-approval tool. It pre-approved me for the Venture One for good credit card. Not very exciting, but this was surprising as this meant my ITIN is already reporting to credit bureaus? Only called up BoFA to...

Sorry to pull up an old thread... I accidentally put my surname into both my middle name and last name fields while booking a SQ flight ticket using Velocity points. Will this cause trouble at check in?

Should have read this before transferring a bigger sum over 😂

Did you have to fund your HSBC USD account before applying for the premier card? Is, how much is recommended?

Wonder if it is 12 months since last card closed that is the key criteria

For reference, this is the one I use: NESDR Mini USB RTL-SDR & ADS-B Receiver Set, RTL2832U & R820T Tuner, MCX Input. Low-Cost Software Defined Radio Compatible with Many SDR Software Packages. R820T Tuner & ESD-Safe Antenna Input : Amazon.com.au: Electronics Includes the receiver and the...

The walls significantly attenuate the received signal. I chose a particular window at home which faces towards MEL. Additionally, having data points helps them with MLAT calculations, which improves accuracy (if you choose to participate by providing your coordinates)...

Nice, that's an impressive range too. This makes me contemplate moving my antenna or adding another receiver upstairs to get more range than what I have now.

Currently booked on QR using Avios for mid-May. WY has some alternatives available for the same routing. I can see the two sectors individually on the QR website, but it only shows QR options when I try to combine the two. Is it possible to book multi-city partner redemptions with Avios online?

Update: got my itin (6 weeks after submitting). I was able to add this to my BoFa account over the phone. So, now I wait a month or two and hope a score generates. I have using the BoFa account and card for about 6 months now

FR24 just gave a featured flight notification for the first QR flight leaving DOH since last week

Qantas adding extra LHR service on Saturday

Yes, but OP was referring to the EK flights like these ones: https://www.flightradar24.com/UAE543/3e91e975 https://www.flightradar24.com/UAE21W/3e9202bc EK501 has been circling for a while and might be continuing to DXB: Live Flight Tracker - Real-Time Flight Tracker Map | Flightradar24

Seems like EK412 (atleast the SYD-CHC) sector seems to be operating as per schedule. Might one of the few scheduled EK flights that can continue to do so?

Currently on JQ34 MEL-CNS (Was supposed to be VH-OFL but got changed VH-OYP) Rolled down the runway for a handful of seconds before aborting takeoff due an apparent indication of an engine issue. Parked up waiting for an engineering update

It seems like VH-QPJ is currently performing this charter... My two A330 transcontinental flights got replaced by 737s this week. I wonder if this is the case

Just saw this on my monthly Qantas email newsletter. 1. First rewards only bookable with Qantas points if all passengers > 9 years 2. First rewards can only booked if you have silver status or above (I guess this matches what Emirates Skywards has in place for Skyward members) 3. Another points...
