Was going to sign up to take an advantage of this offer again, turns out The Economist have ended their partnership with BA in January 2024. https://myaccount.economist.com/s/article/Can-I-earn-Avios-points-with-a-subscription-to-The-Economist

I’ve gotten about 6 seats between Europe and Australia in the last year, there’s definitely less availability than before but it is not even remotely as bad as QF.

Hmm yeah, similar exclusion for NAB, I wonder why they specifically exclude only the Platinum cards?

Pretty rough exclusion under the T&C’s for ANZ.

I've cancelled an award a couple of months ago and it took 7 days for the fees to be refunded.

Yup, bonus posted here.

Just got off a call with Velocity, she said they're encountering a "system issue" and to wait until end of today to see if they will post, otherwise to call back next week and they will escalate it to the proper team. Confirmed that I am eligible so I guess I can go ahead and cancel my card.

No bonus from ANZ for me or my wife, I'm not looking forward to chasing these up....

You won’t get a return in J for 90k Avios, I’d say make the most of it and try to at least use them on one flight, I personally wouldn’t redeem them for economy. There are J seats out of Adelaide pretty much the whole week, here’s one on the 25th September. Departs late so you have plenty of...

Hmm I always thought "by" meant prior to the date but trusty uncle Google says it is inclusive.

It's looking more likely that we'll need to chase this bonus up unless by some miracle it gets posted within the next 9 hours.

Used both Twitter and Facebook, I’d say the Twitter one was a bit better as it didn’t have the annoying chat bot that tries to “resolve” your issue.

2000 for $40 spend, every week for three weeks. Haven't accepted any offers for about 3 months.

Yeah, this is what I've done a few weeks ago and it worked well. I've just sent a list of hotels to the concierge email who gave me the total pricing for each option and the 4th night rebate amount. Much easier than trying to get pricing for 5+ hotels over the phone.

Their list of partners is very good but the earn rate after factoring the redemption rates is awful, they don't seem to even have decent sign-up bonuses either. CBA cards have always been a miss for me.

I've added an infant to three QF reward bookings a few months ago (flights with JL, AF and QF) via the Facebook and Twitter message. Infant was added to the current bookings and linked to one of the passengers. Only had to pay $4.70 in taxes for the JL flight, not sure why the others did not...

Award tickets on QR always book into the "U" fare class but annoyingly it is not listed on their website showing which fare classes come with lounge access.

That's normal on Qatar, even booking directly they don't allow you to select your seats unless you purchase a Business Comfort (I,D) fare or pay up. Most likely you've got yourself an R fare (Business Classic). All award tickets however do come with seat selection.

Has anyone received their bonus points for transfers from ANZ yet?

I've booked flights for family who do not share the same last name as what's on the account and never had any issues.
