October 26 Update: Qantas Frequent Flyer enhancements, 3,000 easy Club Carlson points & British Airways closing Toronto lounge

If you are lucky enough to be a frequent traveller to Australia, not
only are we jealous of you but now you can earn more points if you are
making those flights on Qantas! Australian Business Traveller reports that Qantas Frequent Flyer
has increased the points and status credits earned on Premium Economy
and Business Class tickets from Vancouver, Los Angeles and San Francisco
to Australia. Meanwhile they have also lowered some of the points
requirements for upgrades out of Los Angeles.

Over on our global site, FrequentFlyerBonuses.com we highlighted a very easy way to earn some bonus Club Carlson Gold
Points. Via thier app, Club Carlson has added an Extra Partners section
where you can shop and earn Club Carlson points for doing so. They are
promoting the section by awarding 3,000 Gold Points on your first
eligible purchase (many of which only require US$1) and iTunes music
purchases seems to be the way to go. The only thing we are unsure of is
whether Canadian accounts will work. If you give it a shot let us know
how it goes just make sure you are spending enough in C$ to be over US$1
(so I would go with C$1.35 at a minimum). eBay and Groupon also look
like easy options for us Canadians. Find out more here.

Per this FlyerTalk thread British Airways will
be closing their lounge at Toronto’s Pearson airport on October 31 and
will begin to use one of the Plaza Premium lounges for their elite
members and people fliyng in a premium class. Not good news at all as
this lounge was one of their better offerings in North America according
to many flyers.
