Have I played the game well?

At least people know its possible and I'm not committing a crime . I also used the same procedure with hotels having Hyatt diamond marriott platinum HH diamond . Intercon RA was a tuff one ;)

The hotel statuses I get a lot more benefits from lounge access upgrades Internet welcome gifts and of course mini-bars
 
I would like to know if there is anyone else who is OW emerald member who has never flown with a one world carrier. Or UA 1k preimer member . For me I don't see the need for status or mattress runs when it's so easily obtained .
Not that big a deal. There are people who are Virgin Platinum and have never flown Virgin.

Not sure the point you are trying to make. That you are good at status matches?
 
And that's what I like about this community I mention I have these status and it must be extortion or fraud . But someone else suggests its possible and now it's all good. And I was thinking I don't get a fare chance here , silly me

Wow. Just Wow. I can't believe what I'm reading here. You ability pick out others points and turn them around to make it look like they're yours and that you're the honourable one is just amazing.

Silly point, meet adequate rebuttal.

And we've all been Accor Platinum at some point.

I'll confess to that. Thankfully it's a nonsense status (though that is somewhat about to change).

That said, it's still a rubbish programme, but that's material for another thread.

By the way, I got all those status without getting on paid flight either, as most of my flights are award tickets.

Big difference between 'without getting on a paid flight' and 'never flown on a ... carrier'. Especially when you think of the statuses obtained on those particular programmes.

We already knew that.

Oh my, what a pity... :rolleyes:
 
I have used my BA Gold to get myself and family to QF SYD F lounge, The Wing at HKG, First Lounge at TPE in my recent trip.

The only thing is that I don't brag about it in the forum...
Good thing, too. You'd be unlikely to impress anyone.
 
I don't drink alcohol . And I'm not just referring to mistake flights. I would like to know if there is anyone else who is OW emerald member who has never flown with a one world carrier. Or UA 1k preimer member . For me I don't see the need for status or mattress runs when it's so easily obtained .

Anyway I didn't start this thread someone else did so I'm not looking for hits and am happy to call it a night.

I have. I practically have been status matched from when I got free VS Gold a few years back, then matched to BD Gold, then to AF Gold, VA Gold, then when BD got bought out by BA, I got BA Gold which is OW Emerald to mid 2014. I also matched to A3 which is *A Gold and that will last me to end 2015.

I have used my BA Gold to get myself and family to QF SYD F lounge, The Wing at HKG, First Lounge at TPE in my recent trip.

The only thing is that I don't brag about it in the forum, as I think status matching is a privilege and not a right. Yes I also maximise it but I appreciate the gesture of the airlines that offers status matching.

I think I started with Aegean gold or some airline aerosit can't recall And that free virgin platinum status that was offered a few years back. And like yourself just worked it around took a week.

I only use it for lounge purposes tho . I used it a bit on my most recent flights inter-Europe on BA

These 2 statements are incompatible.You don't access an OW lounge unless you are flying OW.


PS it has been made known to me that the lounge use was not Shaynes but he was quoting Edison.
However Shane it is appropriate that you use the quote function to avoid confusion.

Skyring, I am trying to work out whether your comment is directed to me or Shayne as he copied my comment as his own :eek:
 
I just don't get why nobody is on my side . Half the words you guys speak I have to google to understand . I'm on $600 a week so I'm very proud of my achievements Don't hate the player hate the game :)
There are two games - how you use the programs and offers to your benefit. But the forums are also a game, in getting the information to do the former. No matter how well you have played the first game, you have managed to rub people up the wrong way on forums. Some people manage to balance the two much better.
 
Sorry about the confusion with the quotes . It's my fault I'm using my phone and the AFF app .

Which again shows how much mentally I am behind everyone here. Yet sitting in a seat or a line in front of everyone at the airport haha
 
Do you derive some kind of sick pleasure from antagonising the good people here? People have tried to help you, but when you antagonise and rub people the wrong way and simply lack any common courtesy, peoples patience with you is going to wear thin. I suggest you first learn how to accept other peoples advice then secondly go and find another forum where you can be a charlatan.

Not to mention the sending of threatening & abusive PMs (in another place) for the heinous crime of not responding to demands for info on trick cities within 10 mins at 6am!
