    Combined Marriott and SPG program

    Bit scared to combine mine. No incentive to combine as yet anyway. Got 2, 7 night certificates booked already (before the merger) cat 7 & 8 in December and January.. Don't want to have issues. I was also bit confused, thought I understood it all before the merger. Basically I was spg platinum...

    Singapore Booking time frame.

    Not about your points, but around to making sure you get the seats you want early! I did something similar for my Japan trip I planned last year for my Christmas trip this year. I booked the going from PER-KIX in December for wife and I on 1 itinerary. And when the Return came around in Jan for...

    St George Amplify card - $139 for 90k points (discounted fee via specific link)

    I just signed up to this, using the Pointshack link of $139. however on the paperwork received it still says $279. I haven't called them up just yet, as the charge has not yet hit my credit card. Should I be worried?

    St George Amplify card - $139 for 90k points (discounted fee via specific link)

    Got approved :) just waiting for the card now. Still unsure if closing an unused CC hurts my score or not. I checked, score dropped when closing CC, and score remained the same after approval for this card. Go figure.

    St George Amplify card - $139 for 90k points (discounted fee via specific link)

    Wish this deal is back. $139 is good price for 90K. :(

    ANZ Rewards Black 75k bonus, no first year annual fee, $2500 spend in first 3 months

    I would think its some other reason. I have 5 CC's and I got approved for the ANZ one. Could it be because you applied too soon from your last one? I would check the reason, before applying for the FF Platinum with 65K bonus.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Thats odd. I tried a booking 2 weeks ago. Yes it comes up as 'Promo Eligible' and the discount was only applied on the payment screen, once selecting an Amex Credit card on my agoda profile. WIll try again soon as have to do another booking. From what I understand to intiate this deal, you must...

    Went to cancel ANZ Black, retention successful

    Called wanting to cancel, getting ready for the July-18 new CC report. Was offered an 18 month BT @ 0% so took it up, and instead cancelled my Virgin Money.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Called 2 days ago to add additional card holder, as there is current promotion ending 31/05/2018 to get 3000 MR points. Guy was very friendly (from Philippines). Since he was super friendly I then made a comment saying on the lines of "Hey, I understand if I threaten to leave, your system will...

    What to do with 350,000 points?

    175K VFF, would have been enough (for us in Perth anyway), 2x J to Hong Kong/Taiwan on Singapore airlines. Ah well, each to their own I guess.

    AMEX Platinum Edge 50,000 bonus signup by 31/05/18

    Something to think about as well for the transfer. If you are ultimately going to redeem the 50K MR for Krisflyer points (KFF), do not swap to Velocity (even with the nice 15% bonus @FreddyFattler mentioned above). Math: 1:1 MR to KFF = 50000 KFF 1:1 MR to VFF (+ 15%Bonus) = 57500 VFF 1.35:1...

    Westpac Altitude/Qantas Platinum Visa/AMEX no annual fee up to 90k points

    Not worth it based on the 2 credit checks done by each institution. I understand that creditscores are bit of a joke in Australia but dont want to harm mine anyway. Though personally I cant apply anyway as had only cancelled my black 3 months ago.

    Platinum Edge Conversion Bonus Point offering ? 15,000 pts

    I had an explorer card and got it Transferred to a Platinum edge before Christmas. Card only appeared this week due to the long holiday. A few months ago, I remember reading a thread (its this one!!!) that said you could still have a chance to get the bonus points. I looked high and low over the...
