    Turkish Smiles and Miles - nope I am not smiling

    Nope not at all. You didn’t see the horrible ground service in Istanbul, Oslo and Jakarta! Totally spoilt the overall business vibe. Also in the air on all flights the service was lacklustre. Since you weren’t there, maybe your comment is not so valid?

    Turkish Smiles and Miles - nope I am not smiling

    We just got back from a business class trip JKT-IST-LGW and then OSL-IST-KUL-SYD with all sectors but the last one operated by TK. KULSYD was an MH flight with a TK flight number. Got credit with UA no issues for all sectors but that last one. I had read that other Star programs would not credit...

    Rex launches its own frequent flyer program (in October 2023)

    So true - it is a wasted opportunity. We both signed up, got our 5000 bonus and now.... silence. No emails, no comms, no offers, nothing. I don't love the flying kanga at present and like VA even less (bye bye Velocity silver soon), but Rex are not giving me a reason to even look at them.

    Extension again for status to 31 March 2024?

    The good news. is Sapphire is still showing on boarding cards with Qantas. So on way home we can all get in WLG lounge. But will go our separate ways in MEL, as not enough guest passes to cover everyone. Still haven’t been able to unlock QR account…

    Scams like these

    I love the specifics on the parcel down to the colour. I've sent all my details and can't wait for my card haha! But a bit annoyed I can only get $10k out at a time? Very inconvenient.

    Ts & Cs "Points Club and Points Club Plus members will earn Status Credits on Qantas Marketed Classic Flight Rewards if they are a Points Club or Points Club Plus member at the time they fly." So you will get them!

    So true - Chemist Warehouse and Reject shop are recent good additions. All major supermarkets. Even the little IGA in my rural town accepts it and so does the roadside stall with a Square reader set up in the shed! And I am happy to use it when I book Qantas as I get a bonus point on top of my...

    Extension again for status to 31 March 2024?

    We both did the QR status match back in 2020 (I was silver Velocity and partner was gold at that time). We kept getting extensions which has been useful as we put the QR number in reward bookings to get the sapphire status. About to fly with a group back to Australia and trying to ensure we can...

    Yep - we had just burned a lot of ours on Air Canada business class trip (AN went bust after ticketing but they honoured and we got out of US as booked once the airspace reopened after 911). But my planned business class trip to Perth with AN never happened. Oh the ol' days.

    I churn once a year. If you do too many in a year, you will wreck your credit and the party ends. I've kept excellent credit score with a new card every year.

    Hey yes - you must be my vintage. I loved my Telecard. I've been earning points and paying on cards for decades. I bet you had a Diner's Card too?!

    Earning UA miles on TK flight operated by MH

    Yep thought so. I've joined us both up to Smiles... will do a claim for that final sector if UA doesn't award points. Don't love our friends at Star much - dropped them when Ansett disappeared with all my points from Lauda.

    Is this doable ?

    Too risky - recent flights we have taken have all been late... best one was BA out of USA to UK 4.5 hours late but then we got the compo...

    Moving carry on luggage to another overhead bin??

    I would have nicely said, please leave my bag where it is... and called over FA if required. Not my job to argue with a fellow passenger. It is not OK to touch other people's stuff. If someone asks nicely, whose bag is this? Could I move it? - then that is acceptable.

    Earning UA miles on TK flight operated by MH

    Has anyone tried to earn UA miles on a TK flight operated by MH? We've got a business class itinerary from Jakarta to London and on way back managed to get into Sydney via KUL. The last sector KL to Sydney is operated by Malaysia (booked as TK flight). Not sure if UA will credit that one as not...

    Totally agree. I like PC but it could be better. I think the SC earn on award flights could be higher too. Why not keep the shorter domestics at 10 SCs. The 7 always feels a bit cheap...

    I've used mine on some mini bottles for $70 or so and got the $50 off.

    United MileagePlus Premier Status Match Challenge

    Just did UA status match for partner - whose DL GOLD is expiring 31/1/24. It looks like they are using AI as I uploaded a screen shot of account which was rejected automatically. I could then resubmit and I took a photo of the actual digital card with 1/24 as expiry. It instantly matched. I'll...
