Maybe not exactly what you are asking but what about the Amex Ultimate card? $450 annual fee which becomes a $450 travel credit with Amex Travel (on Qantas only). Effectively fee free if you fly at least once a year. 1.25 QF points per $1 spent and 4 lounge passes each year (2 Amex and 2 Qantas...

Could you elaborate on that for me? This may not be relevant to what you are saying but I use Kaspersky internet security and VPN and use Adblocker as well.

I stopped getting the e-mails and starting getting text messages. I have had 182 of them since March 2019. About 6 would be legit. I rang a few months ago but the person I spoke to was uninterested and said to keep an eye on how it goes. Maybe I should call again and see if I can talk to...

Once you leave the city Hobart is sprawled out east, south and north. If you stay in the city centre you can walk to most places of interest (just like Sydney or Melbourne) and there are those open top city tourist bus services. I'm pretty sure there would be a tourist bus to the top of Mount...

I'm in the same boat. Did you get the refund or is it still in the pipeline?

Wow, that is useful information. I'm due to get 30,000 reward points soon after renewing for the second year. I'll be happy to cancel soon after and get most of the $295 back.

Lifestyle-wise Covid hasn't changed our lives much at all. Living in an island state has been a blessing in respect to containing the virus, much like the Australian continent experience. Travel-wise there have been both positives and negatives. The positive is that we have seen more of our...

Mrs ramboflyer and I travelled from Hobart to Coolangatta return on Qantas recently and had stopovers in Sydney both ways. I had some Qantas club lounge passes thanks to credit cards and not flying during 2020. On the outward journey the 8am offering was a small roll, ham cheese and boiled egg...

I also have 2 lounge passes that expired in October 2020. I have re-booked my flights with no stress for July so will the passes be accepted or should I contact Virgin to have new ones re-issued?

At some point you have to start wondering if the cost of the card outweighs the benefit of the number of bonus points on offer. Bear in mind Amplify points transfer to airline partners at the ratio of 2/1. I have applied for the St George card in the past (unsuccessfully) but at $558 it wont...

And the same for me for transfer from NAB.

NAB said something like 6-8 weeks but they were there in 3 days.

I had my ANZ complimentary flights booked for March this year which were cancelled because of covid. After a couple of calls, the last in October I was told I could rebook up until 31 July 2022 and complete travel by 30 June 2023. I was happy with that. When I asked about lounge passes I was...

I'm going to push all my reward points over as well. That 15% extra means about 20,000 KF miles to me which gives me enough to be comfortable with 2 long haul one way J bookings, hopefully in 2022.

I haven't read anything about the gift card deals. Can you elaborate? Where I live the only choice is really Woolworths because to get to Coles I have to drive past that Woolies supermarket. That's all about to change as Coles are going to build a new supermarket a 2 minute drive away so I...

Ok, I'm a convert! ER is much better than the old frequent shopper scheme. We opted for the cash back option (odd I know for a FF points hound) and we are accumulating points at a record rate despite needing twice as many now. With points boosters, bonus points and offers the points add up...

Same here. Plus they are monitoring the situation and if I want I can use my points for a toaster (not really but something like that)

I'm accumulating both QF points and Krisflyer points. As my Amex card just switched from Krisflyer (Altitude program) to Qantas I needed another Krisflyer card so applied for the NAB Rewards Signature card (120,000 bonus NAB rewards points) 2 days ago and today got the full approval. My defined...

Lets get back to big sign on bonuses I say. Covid is a just a cane toad hump in the road to point accumulating heaven. Surely 2022 will be some sort of normal. The world cant lock down forever.

Here's a possible easier way for those of us wanting sign on bonus points without the usual angst of applying for a new card. A strange thing happened when I logged into my Amex account last week. There was an offer to upgrade to the Explorer card and receive 40,000 bonus points if approved...
