Thanks for confirming Orbitmic! And thanks for the warm welcome! :-) I didn't realise you get an extra extra points going via Singapore. I just messaged a friend to catch up with them in HK. That would leave me 10 points short of 600. Now to be a good friend or not.... Haha...

Do you guys know when you can jump up a Tier half way through a booking? I.e. Once I have completed my flights to Sydney I would be Bronze status. Would I get extra points on my flights on the way home or would that only start once I make another booking?
