How much was the retention bonus and which card?

Another data point: Had Amex for 5 years - last 1 year had platinum charge. Called to cancel and the cancellation was actioned straight away. They did ask about cheaper card but said I wasn't interested. After the cancellation, asked if there were any offers to reinstate the card and they said...

My annual fee posts in Nov and I'm having the same thoughts as well. Will do the cancel/reinstatement dance to see how much MR they are willing to stump up for me to keep for another year but unless it's a good solid offer, might cancel. The only thing that I might actually miss the ability to...

Does anyone know if Amex personal plat supplementary cardholder can access the plaza premium lounge?

Just a question regarding Amex platinum business. If I have an account as a business and give one of the 99 additional card to one of the employees, can I later transfer the MR points to frequent flyer account of one of the employees who has the additional card or can the MR be only transferred...

Tell us more about the trip to South Korea in J

Wow. To call this lopsided is an understatement. I thought it was not 'rational' 🤣 but clearly I'm in the minority. Wondering where I went so wrong...

I have a friend who has booked a business class flight which takes 16 hours (because of transit) on award points when he could have flown directly on economy for 9.5 hrs but had to pay in cash - not much of a difference between business surcharge&taxes and cash economy ticket. Ignoring all...

I'm also looking into Qantas car insurance for bonus points. Currently with Vero and the premium difference is negligible. However, vero has hire car option for upto $3000 per claim while Qantas doesn't. Therefore, my questions are: 1. It says points (15k) in my case will be awarded after 60...

Yes, that's the one. Has virtually the same photo of the outside onsen without the cherry blossom. Maybe I should send them mine... which I think is definitely more pretty 😆

It's called Yuzansou. That view was taken from the male onsen side.. although I hear that they alternate men/women onsen on daily/regular basis. It also has views of lake Biwa from the private baths in the room

Love ur post! I also did some cherry blossom chasing in Japan in March. Was in Tokyo - Kyoto - Osaka between 27 Mar to 1 Apr when they were in full bloom. There was this one ryokan we stayed in Otsu that had this big cherry blossom tree overarching the outdoor onsen area.. it was so damn pretty

On board the business seat right now, and now I understand why it's so hard to go back to Y. All this room!

I originally posted this earlier around 4:30am but deleted it as I didn't want it to be seen like bragging but, unbelievably, the upgrade came through! 🥳 However, there aren't seat numbers allocated yet. It just states And when I try to checkin, it states Just wondering if this is normal...

Thanks Ronlon I'm not really trying to do anything. All I wanted to know was the realistic chance of an upgrade for a bronze FF for this flight given that there seemed to be some J availability in the flight with only couple of days left. Plenty of members have been helpful with their probing...

Thanks for all the replies. I have now subscribed to expertflyer and have better understanding of the flight availability. What I'm gathering is that it's better than zero but don't get my hopes up as it's 4 bronze member..

It's QF87 Sydney to Seoul on 23 March.

7 empty seats on the seat map. So after seeing your reply, I then queried 7 adults for business on the flight and it also showed as being available. I'm not sure what J7C2D010 is..

Yeah I agree it will be low, but since it's now less than 2 days left, wouldn't CL P1 WP already been upgraded? So I'm just waiting for Gold and Silver?

That's good. It rules out the possibility of intra family knife fighting
