Hi, To be an explorist you need 30 nights in the calendar year. I'm sitting on 26 and cancelled a booking a few week back which would have brought me to 29 (yes still one short). What are the odds of asking Hyatt to give me Explorist next year rather than the Discoverest (10 nights+). Has...

I recently booked economy MEL-ADL for April 2023 and requested a points upgrade to business. It’s sitting in “upgrade requested”. I have had flights in the past that went through immediately when I requested an upgrade but this did not. I guess it’s one of those now we have to wait until a few...

I currently hold an Amex Explorer and I'm interested it changing over to the Amex Platinum. I previously received an upgrade for 40k points to move from Essential to Explorer, which I took up. I am wondering if anyone ever received any upgrade offer to go from Explorer to Platinum? I called...

Hi, I understand that with PCP you get SC’s for a classic reward flight. What about if you use points to upgrade a paid flight to Business. Anyone know? TIA, as always.

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere (I did search but couldn't see it!) - I received the email offering upgrade to ALL Gold back in August and accepted - got the confirmation email but no upgrade to the ALL status yet. Anyone know what the timeframe is for this to kick in?

Seems like a decent offer? https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/member-offers/accor-gold-status-offer.html
