Sorry for the delay in replying. How much do I get if I use your referral link - you didn't state a figure!

Ah, sorry if I've been a bit unclear - I'm already staying in the hotel and the room is booked for one. Still OK to bring a guest or should I make up a story that my 'partner' is joining me for my last night's stay in the property? Will remember to book for two in future though! 😁

Hi all, I've booked a double room for myself at an IHG Intercontinental and I have breakfast included in the rate. Do you know if it's possible to have a friend who's not a guest at the hotel join for the buffet breakfast? I ask because the actual rate of the room with breakfast is...

Just closed my UK revolut account and I'm looking to open an Australian one (frustratingly there's no option to switch your default country). Does anyone have a referral link so we can both pocket a few dollars rather than me just doing the standard sign up? TIA.

Thanks! I have my BA and QR accounts linked so it shows me a joint balance. I can't say for absolutely certain but I think it just took the miles automatically from my BA account without me even needing to do a manual transfer. For Jun 23 my travel back to Australia included a short holiday...

Sure! Jun 23 flight booked in Jan 23. Dec 23 flight booked in Oct 23. Feb 25 flight booked in Mar 24.

April 2024 renewal - still only 1789GBP. Redemption report. Avios redemptions in the past year: Jun 2023: QR PER - DUB via DOH (PER - DOH in F as no J availability, DOH - DUB in J). 135,000 Avios Dec 2023: QR PER- EDI via DOH in J. 90,000 Avios Upcoming: Feb 2025: QR PER - DUB via DOH in J...

Hi all, Just wondering if I need to have my breakfast before I head to the airport. Due to the forthcoming pilot's strike in WA Qantas have cancelled my flight on 16th February. Thankfully, because I have purchased a bundle of rights rather than a ticket Qantas have transferred me onto a...

I thought so too! :oops: Right, that's it, I take it back! Saying this was a "computer says no" to me decision, based upon what I've read in this thread, is an insult to our microchipped friends. This is AMEX employees, knocking back beers and lobbing projectiles at a dartboard with application...

Hi all. Aeroplan cut it fine with the deadline but I can confirm I received my 50k within 8 weeks (52 days to be precise).

I know I'm just one data point but clearly not in my case!

Your two posts really muddy the waters here - they're clamping down on churners yet you then did a glaringly obvious churn and still got approved!? I held my last AMEX card for the entire year and only cancelled it when they couldn't provide me with a loyalty bonus to keep them on! The lack of...

Hi all, I've just been knocked back for the AMEX platinum charge card based on a credit inquiry and having recently received a copy of my credit history I believe the decision is incorrect and would like them to review it. The letter that AMEX sent out informing me of my rejection only had a...

That's not reassuring... I qualified 11th December with Aeroplan so it's almost been exactly 7 weeks. They do say it can take 6-8 weeks so I'm giving them one more week before chasing this up, but it will be most disappointing if I have to. 8 weeks is a generous amount of time to allow for...

That's amazing! 🤩 I'm not a huge fan of American tipping culture but I certainly hope in this instance you gave that chap a big fat one - he earned it! 😁

I have only attempted to utilize hotel concierges on two occasions, and they were unable to help. The hotels in question were IC Singapore & Fullerton - you'd imagine pretty heavy hitters who could make things happen. My request to each was to see if they could book me a table at Burnt Ends in...

Nice. I'm still Diamond too but borrowed time it seems. In my IHG account overview: "Our annual review of your 2023 qualifying activity is in progress. Your 2024 status will be updated in your account soon." Here's to being overlooked! 🤣

I had to wait until my next statement until SA Gold granted i.e. it didn't trigger as soon as I passed the 4K spend.

@andye and @Princess Fiona thanks for the recommendation - UA a great choice to spend an hour in prior to my departure. Great breakfast, spacious and wonderful apron views of the miserable British climate I am escaping! 🌞

Hi All, Flying out of LHR terminal 2 on SQ317 in J in a few days. Lounge options are Air Canada, United & Singapore Airlines. Much of a muchness or does anyone here rate one sufficiently more than the other? Grateful for your thoughts!
