Alright so I called Velocity and spoke to a helpful Filipino CSR. I haven't got any emails, but she confirmed my St George and AMEX transfers are manual and tracked, and even though I called Westpac to force a transfer before my auto transfer date, it shows in their system as an auto transfer...

Alright guys, I'm confused. I thought it was only manual transfer. I've done the following: Transferred 96k Amplify to 48K VF + 20% bonus, on 24/11/2023 Transferred 280k AMEX to 140k VF + 20% bonus, on 25/12/2023 Now for January, I have a Westpac Velocity card. This silly card does not...

Just want to clarify with someone better at math than myself. Now that St George and AMEX have devalued Krisflyer conversion from 2:1 to 3:1, if you still have points in those cards is it better to use this promotion and then put the future KF miles in a holding pattern in your Velocity...

So I don't have EF subscription at the moment. This year I flew like star alliance RTW using EF to search for I class availability to build my itinerary. I would search for a routes and then award availability plus or minus 3 days. Is that feature now gone? Because I have amex miles to...

Most important site besides flightconnections is expertflyer. EF is the more important one, but it's a one-two punch. I'm sitting in Bogota now in my RTW. I quickly ticketed SYD-HND-MEX as only way to get across the Pacific, then South America is a PITA as no backtracking and no Avianca...

It was extremely hard to find availability although I was able to change my route to when I liked better but at all times it is an incredible amount of hard work. You have to be very dedicated, have a lot of time put aside and be very flexible because the rules are very inflexible. Leaving...

I just got this card, approved pretty much instantly, not even a single payslip. Why can't every application be so easy? I'm still kicking myself that I missed out on the 325,000 offer earlier this year, but I was still in the 18 months sin bin.

Just want to update this thread, as I now have booked a RTW (SYD-HND/NRT-MEX-PTY-CNF/GRU-IST-xJED-BKK-MEL) using my 280k KF miles and have 1 point left in my account :) I actually didn't have enough KF miles until I transferred a chunk of spare Velocity miles @ 1.55:1 so for something like AMEX...

I managed to ticket my RTW but it was a real hassle with the rules. Especially the 35,000 mile rule. If you are starting out going PER-SYD it's going to really be a struggle. I suggest you use points or pay to position yourself in SYD if that is where you want to start. However being in...

I've just spent 3 days planning things before calling the call centre and I'm not even done. A problem cropped up when I told them my route, because the only way for me to find award flights on a potential route, was to include one downgrade to economy between BOG-EZE. However, the agent says...

I've had success with Citigroup, virgin velocity is citi I think and same with suncorp

I was on Virgin Velocity promo which was nice because I used some of that to fly SIA economy back from Asia, after using KF miles to fly biz to Asia. Now I'm with Suncorp: Suncorp Clear Options Platinum Credit Card: 130,000 Bonus Points after $3,000 Spend within 90 Days of Approval, $129...

What a nightmare. In the future, Amazon deliveries will be so fast and ubiquitous, passengers might as well go online and order an inflatable sleeping pad, sleeping bag, and pillow and get it delivered to the terminal.

I just need to vent that I am pretty furious with JF and QF. I honestly have never flown Qantas much domestic or international. Jetstar cancelled my flight to CGK 23 hours before departure, I had exit row booked on a dreamliner MEL-SIN-CGK and I had to pay double to start my holiday with...

Freely sent me a special covid 19 letter through live chat, they do it individually as per customer request

Oh, that sucks :(

I'm just looking over offers again, as I hit my spend req. on St George and got my points. All the Citigroup linked programs like Suncorp, and NAB owns Citigroup now - anyway they all convert to KF at 3:1 which isn't great. Same with ANZ, 3:1 However Amplify points from Westpac/St George/BOM...

I've got an 11 day trip to Indonesia and Thailand in a few weeks. I just got insurance because it's a requirement for Indonesia, and the credit cards don't have COVID-specific policies. Most for my 11 day trip were $100 AUD, Fastcover was $80 but then I found an app called freely (really just...

I'm of the opinion masks are stupid because Omicron BA.2 is one of the most infectious diseases known to mankind. But airlines aren't going to stop food/drink service and we all know why. Another issue is valves/filters/vents on masks. So far USA has banned masks with valves/vents and I...

Ozbargain has some cards with current or expired deals to get a sense of what's on offer. St George Amplify rewards as mentioned. Open a transaction account, and drop $500 in there and make 5x payments in first month to get $40. Then in your account, go to credit card products and the Amplify...
