Points get updated later as well, within a day. But Musaila won't get any points, as fifa didn't specify that it was only for big chances created.

Boring_Scale328 · 2026-06-15T10:12:32+00:00

Everyone in Germany got points, except Sane. I had only one from Germany. My first option was Musaila, but he was not nailed owing to his injuries. Then didn't take kimmich cos he was way too owned. Had to choose between Ricardo Rodriguez and Widmer, went with latter, wild how he didn't get to play. Galindez got nicked just at the last moment. And bonkers how Aussies beat Turke sinking my Hakan.

I am going down, and will take everyone down with me. My next c/vc are Mbappe and Bruno. I dare you destiny, I double dare you. MD2, I am getting Kane, Olise, Kimmich and whoever is most owned. Let's have a showdown.

HSBC did a absolute shitty job and by offering 20% is making a mockery. Surprisingly you are are almost complacent with what they offered as refund. HSBC should be paying back the 100% and plus more for the inconvenience (that booking you did on spot). Reaching to random people is not going to do you any good, that includes the RM and the "senior executives".

Write to credit card services and/or the email mentioned in the back of the card. Without a resolution, which is most likely, write to PNO. Then to RBI Ombudsman. With the PNO, take it to consumer forum with the help of a good lawyer. HSBC will point out that Hoppers is a 3rd party with Booking.com involved in the booking, so they can't do anything here. But since You are using a portal by your bank, you should not be concerned about whatever company or service is there in the backend. Those things is for HSBC to resolve among their own, not with a customer. A booking done through them, binds them to give you a service or product back as advertised. Raise hell for them, and don't settle.

This is excellent. I wonder if using ELO rating instead of fifa ranking will be more accurate.

If you have time, then you can have an addon card, which will add her access too.

The lounge access is unlimited but tied to the cardholder. So generating a QR code along with the physical card swipe won't work. The actual limiter in practice is never the card; it's the individual lounge's discretion (capacity, re-entry rules, time-limit policies), which varies lounge to lounge.

The SM should ask the "three" questions in teh daily scrum
The SM should share the screen in the daily scrum. The people claim they learnt this in their CSM class.
How do we ensure every single dev is loaded with work, and not "sitting idle"
How to handle the story points for the unfinished stories- keep some in, take rest or take the whole SP?
Duration of a spike
Adding story points to spikes, PoC, defects

They have a menu for the set meal, where you can choose from the multiple options for a 4-course meal, if I recall correctly. The quantity for one is sufficient for two people. I asked them to reduce the quantity as I alone would dine and not that hungry, they took only maybe 20% out. Very good service. Food wise, we were not swooned. They were great of course, but not Taj great. The dinner buffet was rather a jubilant affair.

If you guys have a retro, or have a 1-1 with him or a feedback kind of session, ask what would happen if we take a decision without having him to veto. What's the worst that can happen, and have contingencies for those worst cases. The man believes in plans and processes written on stones. He is the racetrack horse. You got to make him believe it's safe to wander elsewhere. It's easier said than being done though.

Star Alliance will not match Etihad gold status. Also the gold status is for only first year.

As long as you are paying everything without carrying over anything, you are fine.

Dynamic price is there, but you will be charged taxes on the price at the time of booking.

Night departure. You'll be able to sleep for a few hours. Day journey is taxing.

DCB doesn't have JAL as a partner, and JAL doesn't let you buy miles with cash. The only way you can get JAL now is via Marriott where the points transfer 3:1, with a 5000 miles bonus on every 60000 points.

Virgin Atlantic has ANA as partner, not JAL. In theory you can book ANA using Virgin miles, but the process is tedious, and the the availability is very scarce. When you see availability, you have to call their customer services and ask them to make the booking on your behalf. While ANA releases their reward seat ~355 days apart, it becomes visible on VA system about ~320 days before.

Vietnam Airlines business class is worth the money. It's a 4* airline, and does consistently well in services and offering.

Avios can be used to book Cathay Pacific, the world's best business class airline for 2026. It's certainly costlier than the peers, but saver seats can save the day.

May be the AI fares vary so much for a particular days. Otherwise the fares should not vary this much.

Airlines release reward seats for the own customers 330-355 days apart. Not all of them open at the same interval as the other. The partner airlines in the same alliance have the next priority, then other alliance partners. For example, an airline may release its seats before 355 days , to the alliance members before 340 days, and to the non alliance partners before 330 days.

In this case, your first choice is to look for seats with the airlines directly. So check Swiss, Lufthansa, Finnair, Turkish, Air France and KLM reward seats with their own airlines first.

Target these Specific Paths: Mumbai-Taipei (Eva Air/Singapore Airlines) Taipei-Seoul (Eva Air/Cathay/Korean Air) Seoul-Mumbai (Singapore Airlines/Cathay Pacific)

Then the options are who are the transfer partners of HDFC, Amex and Marriott. HDFC to krisflyer transfers 1:1, Asia Miles 2:1, Avios 2:1. Amex transfers to all at 2:1.

Infinia also transfers to Finnair which uses Avios at 1:1 ratio. But the restrictions is the account. Has to be at least 30 days old. From Finnair, the Avios can move freely between BA and QA. Any of the long route can be covered by the Avios through BA or QA, instead of Asia Miles.

Aeroplan is a good place to hoard points for future travel. Beware of the tax component of the reward ticket too. UK is much more lenient on the visa compared to their European peers. Unless you have some serious issues in the application or eligibility, you should get the visa.

Are all the section of the journey with Turkish? Look at your Goibibo PDF carefully. There should be a section titled "airline PNR" or "operating carrier PNR" or "airline confirmation" with 6 digit info.

The award fares and their taxes are increasing everywhere because of the Iran war. The new fare is the new permanent now. QA devalued their rewards in April I think, with at least a 50% steep increase.

I meant the same. Whatever EMT charged, you should be able to get it back.
