also a uk email address or a google email address, is that correct thanks
I doubt they will care about your email address. You just need to use a country in EMEA region, otherwise you will not be able to use the details in KVS.

That is a really helpful post BC. Thank you!

[QUOTE=bcworld;11222644]

***If you want to use the JAL method, which is considered to be the most accurate for Cathay Pacific availability you must not register your account in Oceania region - create your account using a UK address.


I did a search for dec/jan 14/15 using an account witness an Australian address for Cathy Pacific. No availability at all. Is the above statement the reason why?

Which FF programmes are currently best to sign up to in terms of offering deals for buying miles? My mum has (?had) a Dividend Miles account that we used a few years ago to buy miles for a trip to Europe. This time both mum and dad are planning a trip to Europe next year. They'll be flying out of MEL and happy to go anywhere in Europe (ultimate destination will be DUB). I've just signed them up to Life Miles, but not sure which other programmes I should also sign them up to.

Thanks heaps,
Mel.b

Thanks Dorothy, but I got no e-mail and when I logged into my account, there was no bonus offer for me!

I have no idea why I'm being excluded - account has been active since 2010, e-mail settings all look ok. Anyone have any idea?

I may need to consider setting up another account?

Nor me, nor hubby, nor mate, nor mate's girlfriend, nor mate's girlfriend's son, nor mate's girlfriend's son's wife, nor hubby's aunt, nor hubby's uncle, so you are not alone!

Buggered if I can work out how they decide who gets the offers - it seems to me that they're targeting those with a lower points balance?

For example, this latest 75% offer was sent to my husband, who has a measly 1,000 points, while I didn't get the offer and my balance is 120,000.

Similarly, the last offer (25%, 50%, 75% or 100%) - my husband could get a 100% bonus, while mine was 75%.

Too late now, but it wasn't targeted, so you could all have taken advantage of that offer. Best to keep an eye on here!

Hi James, it might be that July 2015 is too far ahead, airlines vary but most only book about 1 year in advance

Same question but for SYD-LHR DEC2014/JAN2015

I'm registered with Dividend, LifeMiles, AAdvantage and MileagePlus.

Cheers.

How long does it take miles to share over? I did it on the last share but have seen nothing so far at the target account
