$3997. HSBC are investigating it now. I was purposely holding out till Jan so I can get the 2 years of Gold Status. This early trigger of…

well the thing is I didn't even reach the $4k spend and I got it pretty quickly, it's rather bizarre

could you elaborate on this? don't quite follow. If I'm understanding this correctly, lets say I was to renew in Jan 2025 and then decide…

yes, essentially you get 12 months of Gold Status and 23 months of Gold Status if you end up paying the annual fee in the second year.

Yet to get my points although I didn't even reach the $4k spend (currently at $3997) so I'm trying to make them withdraw my Gold Status for…

unfortunately no. the second you cancel your HSBC card is when you lose Gold Status.

I just got nominated (email came in 1st Nov) and it says it'll be actioned by 15th Nov fyi.

I am about $3 short of my $4000 spend (as I am planning to reach it by Jan 2024) and they've sent the 'Star Alliance Gold Status'…

if you check the star alliance webpage for membership renewals, Aeroplan states that the gold membership is valid for the following…

correct - reach your $4,000 spend in Jan 2024 and you'll have it until 2025 granted that you pay for the annual fee in the following year.

I just signed up for Uber One (the PayPal deal) I tried selecting the $18.90 burger with addons and the price still comes out to $20+…

strange..... I ordered 1 burger and had add-ons and the figure still amounted to $20+ Is there something I'm doing wrong?

this doesn't work unfortunately T_T

appreciate the insight mate!

hey for someone who has no idea with how to "grade" powerbanks, could you explain to me like I'm 5 what the mAh, watts and cells mean and…

how many payslips did you have to upload? it's so strange them asking for payslips

thank you sir! You've helped me out heaps in the pointshacks community forum too - great to see you helping out the community!!

do we have to sign up to Star Alliance Rewards Program to nominate Air Canada as the Status Airline? I'm confused at this step....

hey can I DM you in regards to making a claim for 'Accidental Damage' for the Citi prestige card?

how quickly did the send you a confirmation email? I called yesterday and the charge is 'pending' at the moment - no email yet to be…

I just booked a room for Phuket (well on hold for 18 months) even though I hold an AU card despite the T&C's saying its reserved for…

thank you! how did you get in contact with them?

we can use these hotels even with an AU card?

fair enough. That being said, would you say it's worth taking a punt and using the PayAll feature on both cards to rack up points?

hey Legoman, are you taking advantage of both the Citi Prestige and Premier cards with their PayAll function? Would you say it's worth…

if you don't mind, could you let me know why its this option vs the other?

what's the verdict, we can pay it down to from $500 to $50 or we need to have at least $100+ to be able to do minimum $30 repayments each…

you legend! thank you for your help, i really appreciate it!

noted and thanks! one last question please - that means after everything is paid by the 7th - the 10th is when I schedule the PayAll (i.e.…
