1) and 3) Air Canada is good for long status and virgin lounges if you plan on keeping the credit card. Also, if you're happy with a small…

This is a genuine response and I'm not trying to antagonise. When the US Gov supports a Russian dictator invading Ukraine, proposes ethnic…

Okay bad news, I emailed them and you can't get the 40k bonus points until after your anniversary date. The wording in their earlier email…

Yeah I'm wondering that.. it's getting close now - maybe you should chase them up by email to ask for them?

You choose who your points go with. It shouldn't affect your gold status on that flight.

I guess people prefer different things, but the detachable keyboard gives you a light tablet with an adjustable stand. Only thing better is…

Be aware it's the keyboard slim with no trackpad, no backlight, and no angle adjustment. I voted for this before I realised that..

But at the lounges you might need to prove your aeroplan gold status of your ticket doesn't say it, can take a minute

Same for me, and the stem touch controls are way better. Do you have an issue with autoplay when you put them in?

Yeah I'm now leaning towards cancelling once I've collected these 40k points. Amex might be next.

My understanding is yes, your Aeroplan gold goes until 31 Jan 26 as long as you don't cancel the card, regardless of whether you've made…

Hi bargrin - Yes that was the point of my post - if you make the $60k threshold this qualification year (whatever date that is for you) you…

Thanks.. bummer

You can turn that off under earbuds settings - voice controls. I have found these excellent for conversations, unlike the non pro 2s.…

Galaxy watch 7 series battery life is good. Agree it was poor before.

Sure, but you could use it as partial payment towards anything. I don't like the 'gamble' of it, but it's unlikely to be lost money.

How do you know about the price increase? I didn't see any email?

Did you meet the spending criteria? If not, there are probably better cards around..

Any experience? Do checkout staff know what to do? And it's it easy to use partial amounts over several shops?

You can see your spending on your HSBC statement. Gold status depends on the airline. Aeroplan should've emailed you? You can email the…

The Star Alliance gold status should be recognised no matter which airline you choose as your status airline (which can be different from…

Yeah I had very mixed experiences with my 7 and 10 year olds on a recent trip. A couple lounges said yes. You might do better with a 4yo

Have a look at your last statement - you might already be past the cutoff. If you're not hitting 60k spend it might not be worth the $450…

Would it stack with red energy qantas points offer? (I'll try to figure it out but I thought there might be a pro here. And I know red…

Trying to raise awareness - seems you can choose 40k points each year instead of Gold - see my post here:…

Tactical quiet version is pretty good I reckon, but it's still a mechanical keyboard so definitely more noise.

Haha, no, law, we don't understand numbers :)

Seems like you can choose 40k points each year, which totally changes the cancellation equation. See my detailed post here with…
