    AMEX rejection

    I don't know about loss making. Not much anyway. You might pay $400 for the card and need to spend $5000 ($500 for the bank at 1%) in order to get your 100k points. How much is 100k of points plus the card etc really costing the bank?

    Qantas unveils the biggest changes to status in program history

    Fair enough, although I'd guess status credits for Everday Rewards will work like Coles with Velocity getting credited irrespective of whether or not you transfer Flybuys points.

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    With increased vouchers etc for solver and above, I feel silver is the PC replacement. Disappointing for me. I mostly fly QF but on points, so silver is not going to happen. The lounge passes and vouchers were a nice bonus.

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    Maybe. Late this year could be November. It would be a lot of points to find in a hurry. I assume the OP could get to 150k instead and have plain old PC for another year after the PC+ runs out.

    Taken 1 General Lounge Invitation expiring April 12th 2026

    I'd love one for my trip to Adl for Gather Round after QF switched me to Jetstar. It would make that more paletable!

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    My 19 year old daughter was in the lounge in Nadi yesterday and told me she met some English people who must have been in a band, on the way to Samoa. Of course when we realised it was UB40 she had never heard of them!

    Best credit card for points in Australia right now? (Newbie question)

    There is no single answer, it depends on your spend habits, appetite for an annual fee and your income/ credit rating. I find a good starting point to check current offers is finder.com.au (desktop version is better) or if you just want to look at Qantas Financial Services - Earn Qantas Points |...

    Taken 3 General Qantas Lounge Passes - Expiry 01.07.2026

    :D I was thinking of pleading my case on similar grounds due to QF cancelling an upcoming ADL to MEL flight and putting me on JQ. But I thought Tiki had a better case with the longer and internationally flight so I am glad you sent the pass that way. :D I was thinking of pleading my case on...

    Coles gift card offers

    Sorry I didn't realise I was talking to THE NoName. I think the concern is having a fake child account or a cat and linking to that.

    Tight Virgin Australia Domestic Connection to International Flight

    You never know but my recent experience (Nov on a Monday morning) was a breeze. I flew JQ from MEL due to arrive 7.30 am with 10.50 connection. Landed 1 minutes early, collected my bag, went to the bus (only 2 others waiting) and the bus arrived a couple of minutes later. Google Maps tells me I...
