Classic Reward in business. Does it count as an eligible flight for Silver?

I need 2 more eligible flights on QF or Jetstar to retain Silver. If I book a Classic Reward MEL to Asia in business with a QF flight code, does that count as an eligible flight? I have PC+ so I’ll earn some Status Credits on reward seats. Does that automatically make it...

First year as Hyatt Globalist. Way too many nights, zero regrets.

What started as me tracking nights turned into a full-blown obsession. Finished 2025 with 153 nights and first time Globalist. I put together a spreadsheet mostly to answer the question I kept asking myself early on: is this actually worth it? Short answer: for me, yes. Not the...

JAL Emerald perks not showing on my CX flight anymore

Had almost the exact same thing happen. I’m JAL Diamond with CX Green, and I usually book with my CX number for the miles, then show my JAL status at check in for the oneworld Emerald perks. Always worked fine. But on a CX flight last month, the agent said they couldn’t give me...

Iberia Plus feeling way stingier than AA

I’m based in Madrid and signed up for the Iberia Icon card, so I’ve been playing the Iberia Plus game for a while. The perks feel so tight compared to American. With Ruby on AA I could grab those nice seats behind PE for free at 24 hours. Now I’m Iberia Oro, which is Sapphire,...

Hilton Surpass giving me gold… does that lower the nights needed for diamond

I usually hit gold each year on nights but diamond is tough. Looking at the Hilton Surpass card since it gives automatic gold, and wondering if that means I’d only need the “difference” in nights to reach diamond. Like if gold is 25 nights next year and diamond is 50, would...

Is SkyTeam Elite+ worth it if I'm already in Premium Economy on AF?

Booked IAH–CDG–BLR roundtrip in Premium Economy on AF with P2, and I can match to LotusMiles Titanium (SkyTeam Elite+) for $359. Thing is… I don’t really fly SkyTeam much. I’m based at IAH and already have LH Senator. Short connection in CDG too, so I won’t even have lounge...

Worth doing Kenya Airways status match for SkyTeam Elite Plus?

Trying to figure out if it’s worth it just for this trip, basically for preferred seats, lounge access in CDG, and maybe an extra checked bag for the family. Anyone done it before and think it paid off?

Thinking of switching to Delta after this Alaska mess, anyone done it?

I’ve been a longtime Alaska flyer (75K Gold) but after this weekend’s tech meltdown, I’m seriously thinking about jumping to Delta. My flight got canceled Thursday night, lost about $1K in nonrefundable hotels, and my rebooked flight to SEA today was delayed twice after...

Marriott Platinum matching to KrisFlyer Silver

Got the email today about Marriott Platinum and above matching to KrisFlyer Elite Silver. I’m not super familiar with SQ statuses so I was curious what folks think. From what I can see it’s decent if you check bags but the bigger deal seems to be the fast track to Gold with just...
