Thanks. Reading it again, I think maybe the explanation requirement (and possible proof of urgency) if you call up to expediate an existing application. Already done and no questions asked. I paid $104 for a 5 day turnaround. The lady at the post office said they have been quick lately but I am...

Any tips on the urgent application? My passport is less than 6 months from expiry and I am travelling in 2 weeks for an unplanned holiday, so not a legit reason for urgent travel. Can you just pay up? The website suggests you have to have a compelling reason for urgent travel.

Can someone please remind me..... If I have a bonus offer like I do now, spend $80 a week for 4 weeks, if I spend $80 but apply my monthly 10% discount to pay only $72, will I still qualify?

No, wrong assumption.

They do. They want you to spend more. I find the offers generally creep up for spend until I ignore them.

Maybe, but the impression I get is it seems to be specifically related to CBA. I never had this issue with PayPal and Amex. Of course I won't be trying CBA direct to confirm.

I certainly couldn't find gift cards mentioned in the T&C, just general statements about cash advances "such as..." but no mention of gift cards. I objected with on line chat and they refunded. I also explained that it is not a cash advance as it cannot be converted to cash. They refuned me...

Don't use my referral code from 3 messages ago, I have changed companies. (I found out the hard way they don't validate the code on sign-up so you will miss out if you use an old code.)

Was this with CBA? I have had the interest refunded but still waiting on the fee.

It is not a mistake in their opinion. From the chat: On this particular card, this fee is charged when you withdraw or transfer cash from your credit card. It’s also charged for cash equivalent transactions such as gambling, money transfers, buying lottery tickets or gift cards I checked the...

They refunded the fee and interest, as a once off gesture of goodwill of course. I'd always used Amex via PayPal previously, so back to that way I suppose. I don't see why using PayPal would change things as presumably WOWGIFTCARD would still come up on the statement either way.

There is an old now closed thread cash advance fee gift card which concluded that the source (Finder) didn't know what it was talking about. Well it has happened to me with Commbank. The transaction shows as "PAYPAL * WOWGIFTCARD" and they confirmed that is why I was charged a $4 fee, plus...

I did that a few years ago at MEL going to ADL on a Saturday for one night. I realised a few hours later, called up and the Supervisor met me after my return flight. Very impressed.

You can't use them in a LATAM lounge regardless.

Double points for something I am already doing, although they will turn the $10 redemption prompt at the checkout back on in December. Which I will promptly turn off again.

I must admit I find it very annoying when people do this, knowing of course that some here do, but I only ever look at it from the point of view of free seat selection as I typically fly QF. If the couple paid for seat selection they kind of have a point. You should get what you paid for or get...

It's about looking after all their customers, not just a lucky few. It's similar to limiting egg or toilet paper purchases. You don't want the majority of your customers to be disgruntled due to the actions of just a few.

Thanks. I will wait. I have no need to convert those points now so let's see.

So any tips for the best transfer offer to hold out for? I started a new Flybuys account a few months ago. The first month there was a 15% bonus for the first transfer to Velocity, but that was next to nothing at the time. I now have 50000 Flybuy points. The current offer is 500 bonus Velocity...

It does say "includung" so it's not necessarily an exhaustive list.
