Me too

Completely agree. The fx fee is irritating. It would be an added bonus if they went back to providing the AFR instead of the Australian ;)

Apologies, I think this has been answered but my search skills couldn’t find it. What about paying government bills with the US card? Theoretically 0.65 instead of 0.5 airline miles; anyone had an experience or success with that? Just about to make a minor contribution to the kids’ HECS and...

I didn’t get the survey …. presumably they feel they can bank on my membership 🙄

You only get the 2.25pts if you hold the Reserve card as a companion card to Plat or Centurion From the T&Cs

Amex clearly having a laugh …. Received notification today that the UK BA Premium card is having a fee hike from £250pa to £300 and the threshold for a companion voucher is rising from £10k to £15k ….. and there’s no improvement in the benefits This is an economy with multiple challenge. Not...

Worrying I particularly enjoyed the irony of this little gem

Yep, that worked. Thanks. I’ll get on to that first thing tomorrow

Thanks. Getting a blank (literally a blank page) on the iPad with that link (multiple browsers). Will try on the laptop later

Don’t think it is i have the US Plat and just looked online at my account. No link to Presidents Circle. Just bog-standard Gold Plus like Australia and the UK. PC is for Centurion isn’t it??

I look at this a bit differently. Like you, it seems, I am closer to the end of my career than the beginning. I have been lucky enough for my employer to pay for my travel over the years, mostly up the nice end of the aircraft. Had it not been, I would probably have refused to travel. Supply &...

I know of at least one person who was invited to get a Centurion card ..... twice .... (without filing an expression of interest) whose monthly spend was around A$10-12k. Mine is roughly the same although it does spike to A$20-40k He accepted the first offer and held the card for a few years...

Curious to know why you'd want a Centurion ..... it is a card directed largely at those for whom luxury is 'their style'. The card would appear to offer you nothing other than the extra points earn which is of marginal benefit given the additional cost over Platinum. Platinum seems a better fit...

Forgive the ignorance ….. I haven’t been to China since about 2018. My recollection is that I paid for the hotel by tapping my iPhone on the hotel terminal (ie using Apple Pay) I can’t recall other transactions But are you saying that in the present era (post the Trump/Xi squabble) that we...

I agree. I got the Aspire but if I had my time over again I’d go for the Bonvoy Brilliant. Spend far more time at Bonvoy hotels than I do Hilton. The Lounge access was the appeal but the Brilliant offers that too. But it was $450 when I applied and the Bonvoy wasn’t in its current form. I’ve...

Ahhh, that’s excellent. I didn’t know that. Really useful info’. Thanks. May I ask where you send the email with the screen shot? To paraphrase the Mastercard advertisement, that’s priceless

Tried using the Amex Plat concierge about 10yrs ago for a restaurant booking; gave them a second chance with some concert tickets. Utterly useless. They offered nothing more than I could have done myself. Never bothered since As for the Titanium, one is obliged to use the Concierge for the...

Actually never tried. It wasn’t the reason I got the card ( although with the changes to Amex Platinum, maybe I should reconsider ;)) But you phone the ‘concierge’ for the discount Qantas flight bookings ….. they are offshore and appear to work strictly to a script If what you’re looking for...

Thanks. Yes, that’s all I could find. Ahh well ….

The T&Cs for the Qantas suite of cards indicate that points will not be earned on Government or Government-like transactions. Does anyone know if there is a location where I can see whether points have been allocated against an individual transaction, so that I can determine whether QF Money...
