So far got similar offer by $10/wk hurdle. Interesting difference with this offer vs 10k offers... This offer does NOT have a long first qualifying period - all 'weeks' are 7 days, not like the 10k offers that has a ten day first 'week'.

Oddly enough I had the reverse experience which was extremely disconcerting. Flew Y rtn to Europe in Jan/Feb 2023 and had impeccable service (in Y!!), constant FAs throughout all 4 flights walking the aisles with water & snacks. Slept on all 4 flights well. FWIW the snacks in Y on SIA are far...

Very cleverly worded, 'top bidder' and I expect many people would fall for it. For example, say you only want one seat and there are 5 available (or more) then the outsourced (not run by VA btw AFAIK) service is telling you the absolute truth but in what many may consider a VERY...

Some call it a near-scam others just details.. With the spend $X0 /week for 4 weeks - the first 'week' covers 2 weekends... So your Wk 2 spend is this coming weekend - have a look at the original email for the Week 1 period. I wish I could pay for a week's accomodation and get ten days worth.

Or as the Chinese Curse goes, "May you live in interesting times." ____________________________________________________________ Or the short form - don't count on a China resurgence to propel the AUD upwards for any length of time. Think of China as akin to Alan Bond (see wikipedia if a new...

No. Most super funds are near enough to closet indexers as not to make a difference. The majority outsource the actual investment to wholesale fund managers who are either 'passive' (hold companies in proportion to their weight in the index) or 'active' (who are supposed to back their...

4 offers of 4 x$50 wk over 4 periods (5 weekends). Decisions, decisions. Normally only take up 2 of the offers spread over 5 weekends (due to long 1st spend period) so spend $50 weekend 1, $50 weekend 2, $100 weekends 3 thru 5. Not as easy as it used to be since Coles scrapped so many brands...

I really enjoy the 2 visits for free to the Plumeria lounge in Honolulu, always thinking kindly of Citi's marketing/product person who came up with the idea of 'free for life' & '2 free passes a year'.

You've probably seen it already but IIRC the Amex MR exchange rate is soon going to got from 2:1 to 3:1 (by October I think it is). Exactly the opposite to your question in May - I hope Amex wasn't listening...

Looking in Feb 2024 (from SYD) there seemed to be a number of to/from Europe in J around for different European airports. Even Saver redemptions. F on the other hand - not so much.

Whilst the A380 suites are definitely the ultimate goal - our experience with the B777 1st mini cabins (sliding door) with roughly 1.6m (IIRC) high walls was very enjoyable. If you've never flown 1st before than on SIA I think ANY 1st class long haul is memorable for all the right reasons. If...

For earning FBs - possibly. For creating a VFF account - probably not. Many reports in recent past of people being asked to substantiate VFF 'family' accounts. There's playing the system and then there's breaking the system. Any relatives who do not do FBs & who'd not mind if you created a...

It is calculated by an algorithm that looks into peak spend, trends in regular spend, number of items spent on etc etc. Simple rules: 1) Never be tempted to put through a single transaction above $50 if you can help it, split your spend into two amounts with one as close to $50 as you can...

The float articles in the AFR back in May detailed the dividend payouts in total and earlier articles mentioned that Bain et al had already been receiving dividends. Yes, many fought and too many have died for their country and the idea of a fair go for all - not just CEOs & the connected - who...

Showing your age there! More like 'over the last 25 to 30 years' unfortunately since the last really rational moves of any sort were made at a Federal level. Mind you, going back a little further, one fund manager spent a few hundred thousand of his own money trying to stop Howard approving...

Is it just me, or has VA II's web site become far less VFF friendly? Perhaps I am missing something (happens to frequently...) but I used to be able to find a link to what SIA lounges a VFF Gold or Platinum could access when flying on an SIA flight - such as the Lufthansa lounge at MUC. Try as...

...said the VA II CFO while looking at how Bain & partners have now paid out more in dividends to themselves than the total equity they put in to buying out VA from the administrators. They have now got VA II for no cost. The pervasive attitude of M$$ has poisoned that global business view of...

Depending on how you're placed. It may be worth holding off a little longer to get the spend down to $50. Especially if you have a partner (or pet as some AFFers have set up accounts for previously)....

Definitely keep a copy of the chat - most chat systems provide that option automatically, so no legal issue there. Equally, given reports of 'poor' advice from some CSAs then you are well within your legal rights to keep a copy of the chat. Just make sure you file it away somewhere safe and...

An easy data point - do you get a monthly (or so) email from Priority Pass telling you about new lounges etc? If you do then all should be fine, if not time to check your PP App and click on the regular update option (IIRC).
