    Card Promotions Velocity Flyer Card: 25,000 Velocity Pts (with $1500 Spend Each Month) for 4 Months, $129 Virgin Voucher, $64 Fee @ Virgin Money

    I see this card now offers 40k points x 2 (spending $3500/ mth for each of the two months) plus a 30k points bonus. Interestingly, there’s no mention of not being allowed to own a similar card within 12 or 18 months like many other bonus-sign-up cards require. Does this mean you can apply again...

    Is credit card churning coming to an end?

    I’m not even sure if it’s a new clause that means what I fear, or if it was always there and I just noticed it 🤷‍♂️

    Is credit card churning coming to an end?

    Thanks. I did read that second part of the clause (I referred to it in the last sentence of my OP). However, on one reading of the entire clause it’s possible that I am not allowed this particular Rewards Black card if either of the following have occurred: 1) I have held any type of ANZ...

    Is credit card churning coming to an end?

    I see that the ANZ Rewards Black Credit Card now has the following in its T&Cs: "Offer available to new and approved applicants who apply for an ANZ Rewards Black Credit Card and is limited to one offer per applicant.” Does this clause mean we can only ever have one such card i.e. we can’t...

    Are shopping vouchers eligible spend for bonus points?

    Most cards with introductory bonus points require a minimum “eligible” spend within a few months. The terms and conditions usually exclude spending on things like government fees. If I am approaching the end of the “spend period” and need to quickly get to the minimum spend, can I buy Coles...

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    I wonder how many reward seats are booked as options? Many people would book a number of flights to keep dates flexible or as insurance against cancellations with a view to cancel the unwanted ones closer to departure. I also wonder if the cancelled rewards seats will then pop up for others to...

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    It‘s certainly difficult to read the tea leaves. It‘s strange that there are quite a few QR reward seats to Europe (albeit nearly all Y) this month and then barely any reward seats to almost anywhere in Europe in December and 2023. It’s especially odd that many of these currently available seats...

    Article: Qatar Airways’ Bizarre Daily Melbourne-Adelaide Flight

    Plan B’s from OZ to Europe in July school holidays for 4 people are very difficult to put together in these times. Plan B will probably be keep an eye out for any further reward flights that are miraculously released, get ready to fight and plead with QF and QR, fork out the cash for any...

    Article: Qatar Airways’ Bizarre Daily Melbourne-Adelaide Flight

    I expect you’re right - thinking about it, QR915 has nothing to do with the major 4 cities QR wants to schedule more flights to.

    Article: Qatar Airways’ Bizarre Daily Melbourne-Adelaide Flight

    Rewards seats booked with QF points. Perhaps more likely to just get the QF points refunded which would be a disaster! I agree though, you can go crazy worrying about all these things.

    Article: Qatar Airways’ Bizarre Daily Melbourne-Adelaide Flight

    We‘re currently booked on QR915 in late June 2023 (the ADL-DOH leg after it arrives from AKL ) and then DOH-ATH 3 hours later. Do you think there’s a significant risk that they cancel the ADL-DOH flight if they succeed in being allowed another MEL-DOH flight? Hopefully we‘d get the opportunity...

    Very few Reward seats to Europe in 2023

    Article: Does Travel Insurance Cover Lost Points?

    The article states, “Travel insurance would not generally refund you for delays or cancellations caused by the airline, as it’s the airline’s job to rebook or compensate passengers for this.” But here’s the problem: most airline Conditions of Carriage require them to make reasonable attempts to...

    Very few Reward seats to Europe in 2023

    CX would make nervous given their earlier COVID cancellations. Still, if some sweet seats came up I don't think I’d be able to resist!

    Very few Reward seats to Europe in 2023

    This question probably belongs in another thread, but I wonder if there’s insurance available to pay the difference between cancelled reward seats and replacement revenue seats in the same class? My brief reading of my nab credit card‘s complimentary travel insurance (an Allianz product) is they...

    Very few Reward seats to Europe in 2023

    Thanks. I’d call Qantas about the above JAL message but I’m scared the idiots will inadvertently cancel my flights!
