I qualified for fast track Gold Star Alliance Gold via my HSBC card. And I am still waiting. HSBC directed me to Star Alliance's website. Apparently I was supposed to get an email from Star Alliance but nothing. There is no phone number, just an enquiry form which I submitted many weeks ago...

I am struggling to find SYD to NYC in F.

My Cent relationship manager was of no help. I was surprised to get the Explorer, no sucking up, just an EOI and got it in 2 weeks. The second was a diamond ladies DJ which was probably not in high demand. I send thank you gifts only after I get a watch.

I was able to get an Explorer and a Date-just from an Oz AD. With the other recent purchases, they were at DXB and BKK airports but prices were marked up. Haven't been able to get the models you mentioned from AD. Got a new sub and yacht master on the grey market.

It was a long time ago re Etihad offer. On my benefits page: Centurion Members can take flight with the International Airline Program, offering exclusive savings on First and Business Class airfares, with some of the world’s finest airlines. Plus you'll earn Membership Rewards® points and get...

Well they once had a great deal on Etihad, 8k plus in F. Maybe they have specials for companions but I have never used their specials. I am one to do my own research on fares and holidays because I enjoy doing it. If you are just looking at dollar's worth then it's probably not worth the...

Gold on EK, that's about it. Years ago they gave Diamond on CX. If you are interested, hotel benefits are: Accor-Platinum, Shangri-la-Diamond, Hilton-Diamond, Marriott-Gold and extra benefits with Fine Hotels. Via Shangri-la status, I was able to be silver with SIA. Free QF club membership...

Forgive my ignorance, what is IAP? I can help with benefits of a Cent card.

Had to google LST! Maybe when it's in SYD.

Clive James in Changi years ago and George Miller in F going to LA for the Oscars.

For me, the best value is to redeem for F seats on SQ or EK. Don't know what the service is like in F on QF these days. I haven't flown the latter for some years.

Centurion has all the same perks AFAIK like the $400 travel credit. They will let you have the Platinum reserve credit card NOT the charge card.

Still there. Now Accor Platinum is included.

True, the ATO has a blurb on that.

You do know that the ATO accepts Amex? So if you have a business you can pay all the PAYG with your Amex. And personal taxes too.

I'm in Sydney and I think my RMs are based here. Will pop into Prada to get it personalised and maybe they can help. Don't have a rapport yet with my latest RM but will try that next time to get a comp transfer.

I wonder if your RM will take me on! Our transfer is at least AUD$500.00 each way.

Has anyone tried the Prada wearable? Didn't work on my first try, my wrist is tiny though.

@albyd , how does one get a complimentary transfer on an SQ redemption booking? Your RM organised it?

Even with EK and SQ? I find that it's much easier to get F award seats on these 2 carriers.
