Having just "assisted" Mrs 2905, who has been self-employed for 10+ years, in applying for an ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures card (80,000 bonus Velocity points via Point Hacks link), ANZ wanted her accountant's name and 'phone number on one of the online application pages, then once submitted...

I'm looking at booking a hotel through Amex Travel (Mrs 2905 has a $400 travel credit to use), and thought this was funny..... I can't even recite Pi to that many decimal places!

What about making a dummy booking for one person?

With regards to supermarket spend, at this stage I'm still leaning towards keeping my Platinum Edge, and continuing to buy Wish e-Gift cards through the usual channels. But..... I recently noticed that nib Rewards now accepts Amex for payment of Coles e-gift cards. There's a 1% card fee...

Supply and (virtual) demand? Still $4.50 for a weekend park in East Melbourne. ;)

Reviving an old thread, but for the same reason; it's November again, and there's another 30% transfer bonus..... I applied for the ANZ Rewards Black card through the internet banking offer, so have a $2500 spend target. Around $2050 of that is taken care of by my latest electricity and water...

We bought some stuff from Freedom during the previous offer. We're still waiting for some of it to come into the store, so I didn't bother this time.

Count me in again. I won't know about Karen until closer to the date.

Self-service took 21 minutes; no failures. Went and grabbed another 10 (leaving 14), but took them through a staffed register this time.... All activated OK in under a minute!

WW Erindale has some. "Happy Birthday" ones only, but they scan at the catalogue price. Typing this as I wait for them to activate..... 10 minutes so far. (I bought 10..... for now.)

I've got $2350 worth of water and electricity bills due soon. Their online payment system will accept multiple partial payments, as long as each payment is at least $5. They only accept Visa and MasterCard though, so the attraction for me is the potential to earn three times as many Amex Ascent...

I have the CitiBank Signature card from the "free for life" offer a few years ago. My card sits in a drawer whilst I churn through various others, but to keep things simpler for Mrs 2905 and our son, they still use the supplementary Citi cards for non-Amex spend. I recently started keeping an...

Getting 4 bonus points per dollar, ie; 6 Gateway points per dollar (equivalent to 4.5ppd) in total. :confused: Not complaining though. :)

I applied for the Low Flyer card a couple of days ago, and am currently sitting at "Conditionally Approved". Like everyone else in this thread, now to work what to put / not put on the card. Having held and used the Citibank-backed Qantas Premier card for the best part of a year until I...

I was going to create a new thread, but found this one in the process..... Mrs 2905 received an e-mail from Amex today, offering her 2 bonus points per dollar* on her Explorer card (she's the primary cardholder) until the end of this, her birthday, month, but only when used via Apple pay...

Count me in again. Won't know about Karen until closer to the date. At the last dinner it came up that I've never been to Tasmania. About to fix that; we're sitting in the CBR VA lounge, about to go to LST for a couple of days.

Count me in, but Karen's not sure if she can make it this time.

Sorry, in hindsight I should've been more explicit. I was referring to the Verifone VX-series EFTPOS terminals, as issued by Bendigo Bank and used by merchants such as my local pharmac_ and hairdresser. I'd previously been unable to use any Perfect gift card at either (when the card was swiped...

Some recent experiences.... My ISP (TPG) recently starting treating the e-mails with the actual WW e-Gift card as spam. (Since fixed by making an exception rule.) No $100 Perfect gift cards left at WW Tuggeranong this morning, but WW Kambah had some. Checkout guy said that he had to ask me why...

Wow, nice to see so many people! Thanks as usual to gmoh for setting the date and rounding us up. Karen (unofficially, Mrs 2905) thought that we sounded like a bunch of nerds, the way we discuss the latest credit card bonus point offers and the finer details of credit card and FF points. She...
