Is Qantas Lifetime Gold status worth aiming for?
Sep 19, 2023, 10:00 AMI joined QFF when I was 16. My QF number begins with 02*****. So I’ve been there all the way. I achieved LtG last year at 49yo. So yes it’s been a long journey! I’ve been platinum for the past six years and like others I did it on my own and received no benefit from t...

Is InterContinental Ambassador status worth buying in 2019?
Jan 28, 2019, 06:25 PMI have purchased Ambassador a couple of times but there really is very little value. Too many conditions on the free night, and no discernible benefit at the hotel.

Best SQ aircraft for business?
