Despite the best of intentions, with a swag of Krisflyer points expiring as of 31.12.23 - last night at 9.40pm the redemption dance began. Ideal outcome would have been SYD CDG J return in mid Oct to early Nov. Relying on memory is not as reliable as historically unfortunately. We needed...

Time for the 'please explain' request.

If you're a Krisflyer member perhaps you could look up the schedule on the respective web sites I suppose. Never bothered as there's always too many movies for me to binge on.

Had you already completed Wk 1 on the a/cs that got the single spend offers today or not? Curious if there's a data point there - if you get an additional enticement if you don't complete Wk 1 with only 2 days left to go? Possibly special case going into silly season though.

Curious. One a/c got spend $30 get 1,200 points (already on 4 x$60 spend increased due to absent minded better half who's hanging her head in shame...), while another got spend $50 get 1,000 points & also on 4x$50 spend. Both a/cs haven't done Wk 1 yet but a 3rd has. Perhaps Coles sales...

That $24m man who recently 'left' Q sure earnt his money didn't he!

... just with an additional upfront fee.

Should be another '4 week' (5 weekend) offer either next week or the week after if their algorithm continues as in previous years. The 'wrinkle' this year is trying to entice you to spend more for less points (the two week offers). Less alert shoppers will have been hooked and likely will see...

Now that would be interesting if they have adopted the approach that CCs used to use to convert (brainwash?) clearers to revolvers. In this case they're using the 'addiction' to points to increase their share of wallet, and most likely (for the non-AFF world) lead to much greater food wastage...

Of course you will do this anyway, but for those who are less knowledgeable - when you don't activate such an offer make sure you only put through a miserly amount on that FB account (say $8 to $10) so the system sees a good drop in your spend. Put the rest of your spend through as a separate...

Worth having a look at who you get phone, electricity, gas, car servicing (if part of a large chain), NRMA (or similar) etc etc. Some workplaces also have affinity schemes as some of the Industry super funds also do. Never hurts to ask (or look at their web site).

But you can buy eGCs with them... Which means you get the instant value of the discount.

You use a CC? Heard of eGCs? Amazing how many different ways of buying them (at a discount to face value)... then simply print out the barcode off them, making it the about the same size as the shop's card. Simple matter of having the different 'points' cards barcode in one side of a clear...

Quite a common offer if you don't get a 5 weekend/4 spends $XY get 10K points. With the min spend for those offers being $50 that works out at 2,500 points for each $50 spend (but only if you make all 4 instalments), so a rate of 500 points per $10. Taking up the $30 offers see you getting 400...

Given the costs, you've probably already done the sums though, wouldn't a fee-free zero international FX spread card like 28 Degrees be a good replacement? I stopped using other cards for international transactions many years back for that reason although I always stock one of each type when...

Or he had stars ($$$$$) in his eyes and was on an incentive structured remuneration/success fee only. So no float = no money?

Or... Next time fly Hawaiian Airlines with the much more customer friendly departure time around midday to 1pm depending which Australian destination you're going to. I could not wait for the first chance to ditch Q. As we always head to The Big Island & avoid Oahu - it would mean sitting...

When you say fee-free international transactions - do you mean it didn't charge the same spread as the underlying Citi card does?

Impossible not to enjoy The Big Island, Oahu not so sure... Agree, I do enjoy the B717 flights and how quickly the crew can turn them around given how much luggage & carry-ons people always seem to bring to the Big Island. One time, when the arrival was very late - from the moment the last...

While overseas on a J redemption I decided to try extending my return date out a couple of weeks. Did I notice a massive drop in the 'capability' of the CC staff to: 1. Understand what I was saying (my non-Philipino accent threw 2 staff massively, having to resort to very short sentences max 8...
