    BA Status Match

    I submitted the form with my documents on the 7th, BA responded with my match to gold at midnight on the 9th. I also got an email from them to confirm the match went through. Maybe time to plan some trips before it expires, will be hard to extend it from here.

    BA Status Match

    Has anyone been able to log in today? Finally decided to do it even though I have no trips planned yet, but I haven't been able to log in. Just showing an error every time, I try.

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Sorry for the late reply, I've just returned! Unfortunately, I couldn't consolidate all my flights into a single OWA itinerary, so I had to take separate flights home. I tried to follow the advice to book flights first and adjust them later based on availability, but it seems I may have been...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Is this still the case if my trip commences? If I book a flight on an alternative date with the hope of changing it later, and the desired date never becomes available, leading me to cancel the booked leg with the alternative date, would I receive a refund of the additional points used? For...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    The QF agent wasn't able to add it and the flight's no longer available now, looks like it could've been a divorced segment. I think I'll have to figure out another way soon. If I do book a flight with a different date, but my desired date does not become available last minute, do I lose the...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Hi ya'll, I'm in the process of trying to book my first OWA, I just need one more sector added to my itinerary, but when I called CS they were unable to add it and said they would get IT to help and call me back (surprise, they did not). The flight has now disappeared, and my itinerary is...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    As blacksultan says, you won't be able to sign up without the card details to validate. I read somewhere that you can't sign up before you get your first card, even if you have the link. I tried to do the same and even called to get the same answer. I am guessing others who have existing...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I've been using Tello and it's been pretty reliable, works with AMEX for me. Once you sign up, you can install the e-sim on your phone. The e-sim only works with WiFi calling unless you activate it in the US apparently, but as long as you have wifi, it will receive calls and texts to that...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I applied for the Amex Green by GT a couple weeks ago and ended up having to provide address verification. I sent a Wiise statement which has been rejected. Now waiting on a US HSBC account to be opened, (I applied on the US website, since no RM was showing on the AU website). I was hoping it...

    Card Promotions 30K Bonus Velocity Points or 250 Status Credits or $200 Coles Voucher with New Credit Card

    Just a data point of my experience. I registered for the promo in March, but didn't end up applying until May for the Amex velocity platinum. The bonus when I applied had reduced to 70k, but I had hope from some other comments in the thread. I ended up meeting the criteria on the last month...

    Virgin Australia Discover Gold (Status Match)

    I completed the discover gold challenge earlier this year when it was offered to me through support. However, after the trial period, I was downgraded to silver even though I had met all the requirements to retain. I'm still in contact with Velocity to get this sorted, has anyone else had this...
