Melbourne Airport promotion? ['mystery' points credit - now resolved]

[Cruiser Elite]

QF in CNS even manage to do Priority Boarding and enforce it these days... much better effort than SYD, BNE or MEL IME.

QF? I am not familiar with that airline - they been around long?

Sorry for the ridiculous OT tracking - Steady did you ascertain where that pesky 600pts came from?

Steady / Rooey - I gotta visit TAS mid Jul - can we arrange dinner somewhere to help Steady with his pts problem? And second Q - does TAS have any airports or is the Chuck Boat my best bet?

We are at opposite ends of the Island - its quite big you know - but when you have your dates and places let us know ...

I'd recommend the Spirit of Tasmania (in July ... he, he, he ....)

Not yet, At least I don't think so anyway - I think maybe 3 of the 20+ Posts were on topic - the answer could be buried in there somewhere

Wasn't the answer here?
Google isn't being very useful either. It can't even find this thread.

I think everyone who has to suffer MEL should get at least 600 points (if not an apology from state government)

Could you have done a survey in the lounge or something? A couple of years ago I think some Amex types were in the lounge offer points or some such for talking to them.

 

[Steady]

No, no surveys

The points were prospectively awarded on account of the arrant nonsense you'd have to endure in this thread.

What is wrong with MEL? Name me a better Australian intl airport?

The most coughpy security guards with the longest lines. :shock:

I have a strange entry in my QFF statement - can anyone shed light?

I did transit MEL on the 3rd April but have no idea what I did to earn the 600 QFF points

03 JUN 16MELBOURNEAIRPORT 03APR16- - 600-

It looks very similar to an entry I had a while back when I stayed at the Holiday Inn at Melbourne Airport and had the stay credited as QFF points rather than IHG Rewards Club points.

 

[Steady]

I did stay at the HI around that date but the points credited to IHG after I chased them, so I suspect this is the answer thanks

 

[RooFlyer]

OK, what prize does waflyer get?

 

[njba]

600 points.

Nothing wrong with MEL but SYD is a better airport as it has better flight options.

He gets the on topic prize!

Very low OTP - On Topic Performance in this thread.

I think MEL is great. It actually doesn't have a curfew. I would love to see they get rid of SYD curfew to allow proper overnight flights to Asia.

 

[Steady]

The prize is in the mail

You got the answer in 3 pages - and are complaining it went off topic too many times?? Gee, it's almost an AFF record for efficiency!!

I transit MEL 40+ times a year - I'd like to know what what triggered it so I can do it again

So you worked it out? Formulated your strategy to repeat repeat repeat?

Next time we sit and break bread remind me to convey the story about a situation where 250K pts from the heavens lobbed into a FF account.

 

[whatmeworry]

What about the 600 points in my account?

You received an extra 600pts and you have no idea why but you are questioning it? God youse Taswegians are strange breed of cattle.

They counted his second head?

 

[drewbles]

Good, now that they're all gone, the priority lines will always be empty for you and I

I'd like in on that action please
