I thought this offer would appeal to many either looking to refer friends or for a new application. Its the first time in while ive seen it with $0 annual fee for the first year with the points bonus. The bonus is 10,000 points better than applying direct with AMEX (ie 15,000 vs 5,000). New...

backup - ive got a flight 25th Jan! EDIT - please ignore - wrong airline. forgot im flying Virgin now

I called and they said i would still retain $0 for life, only need to pay the annual Qantas fee of $49.

Does anyone have experience with going MEL - AUH in F, then AUH - Europe (or anywhere) in J the same day. While i expect the answer is no, will i get access to the F lounge in AUH? Id really like to see the F lounge

Hi guys, Some advice required. I can ticket MEL - SIN - FRA - JFK as a oneway Krisflyer J Saver Award. The MEL - SIN - FRA are perfect dates and i dont want to lose them, however FRA-JFK isnt the date i want as it hasn't been released yet (i.e. too far out). If i go ahead and ticket the...

That means right now your sign on bonus is 70,000 AA miles. I'm annoyed I didn't get the card in time for the 14 September deadline. If you converted 40,000 SPG to 60,000 AA now, and then the remaining 20,000 SPG when you spend $10k on the card, you would have 85,000 AA points after $10k spend...

Yes, I agree that initially it would be a less favourable outcome, however it would be the correct one. Two program means things are being done correctly from the beginning and no issues down the track. i don't want to speculate what could happen if AMEX doesn't get the points going into the...

I think that is a good development - I would be more worried about getting 100,000 Ascent Premium points rather than what I'm 'entitled' to on the Explorer card. I'd rather get the right points in the right account from the beginning, so it seems your account at least is in a good position.

No issues here the last few years - I bought a crumpler bag across about 5-8 cards last shop small. The funny thing is the guy at crumpler said that was nothing, someone bought a Vis-a-Vis suit case on it (they start at $395) at $20 a pop that's a lot of cards.

If people that get the points can confirm if it's gone into gateway or another program like ascent that would be helpful

Is anyone interested in Langtons offer? I've got one (or two) that don't look like the will get used. PM or post here - they expire 19th August from what I can see.

Ah no sorry I thought you got the DJs one It was a cracka for SPG points this time around!

CE - just buy something inexpensive like $1.50 butter dish add $50 gift voucher and you also get free delivery as a card holder Its worked on every other Amex promotion with David Jones (ie $50 back for $200 or$40 for $200 etc) As a result I have a lot of butter dishes! I also got $10/$30 on...

Hi, it appears it happens once a year judging that for at least the last 3 years running it has been this way and is usually in the US summer July/August Previous years - July 2014 - July - Early August 2015 Note that I've also seen a similar promotion for Alaskan Airlines miles once before in...

An additional benefit for those considering, is the cash back offers that I have received on each new card application - Spend $30 get $15 at Woolworths - Spend $40 get $20 at David Jones (works on vouchers with any small purchase of non voucher goods ie $1.50 butter dish) Less relevant to me...

It has returned and the timing couldn't be better give my recent credit card aquisitions! https://www.aa.com/i18n/aadvantage-program/miles/program-offers/earn-more-with-starwood.jsp

Hi guys, The promotion has changed slighly - Signon Bonus 30,000 (same as always) - Referral bonus 15,000 (back to standard rate) As an example if two people were to sign up with this within the same family you would get 75,000 (30+30+15) AMEX which converts to 37,500 SPG. If you spend an...

Clipped Wings, As mentioned above, open a Singapore Airlines 'Krisflyer' account, link it to your Velocity account and then if you wish to you can transfer points from Velocity to Krisflyer. Once the points are over in Krisflyer you will have to call to book the flight but from past experience...

Assuming you go the Virgin Velocity points on a LAX redemption for the main transit - you could then add: - 20,000 Krisflyer miles (~27,000 Velocity) for a one way J within US - see chart here , if you want to do an open jaw it's helpful as you could scoot back from somewhere else to LAX. I'm...
