At this stage, I'll be taking the 10,800 point haircut to extend my 90k miles by six months from April 2022. I was considering an apple watch from the store because you could probably sell it for close to RRP here, but concerned with SIM slot incompatibility and customs.

I've got my first batch of Krisflyer points that I earnt from my first AMEX card, expiring April 2022. Ironically, March 2022 people already have extension until September 2022. Please report back if you have called SIA to have a whinge about points expiring in 2022. I really don't want to...

I applied for CUA Brisbane Heat Platinum Credit Card to do my BT and seperate it from points cards as I don't want to lose interest free days. Get 25,000 points (about $100 of gift cards) if you spend $1500 in first 3 months. $0 annual fee for life 0% BT They do take 5-7 days to process your...

As the title says, I am looking for a card for my brother is heading off to India for his first overseas trip. He needs decent medical insurance, the other stuff like stolen items and things like that don't matter so much, just want to make sure he is covered for emergency medical dramas...

I received an email an hour ago from Citibank and from a quick look, from what I understand, there is going to be a 2.5% transaction fee for all overseas ATM withdrawals from the beginning of March. Am I reading this correctly? Is our precious cards no longer free of fees? /sob

I thought I would contribute what I have found to this thread. The first time I went away long term I got a 12 month travel insurance through Worldcare but was very disappointed when I stepped back in Australia and my policy was instantly invalidated. I got a pro rata refund that I put toward...

I am flying with PAL on the cheap J class flight to Manila tomorrow and trying to figure out how the hell to get the airport. I think this bus option will be even harder to navigate in a few weeks, especially with luggage: Route 369 changes from 22 July - Brisbane City Council Route 369...

I have used the 28 degrees in 30+ countries and they never block nothing. It is much more likely to be the PAL system as the system is so buggy it would not even take my Mabuhay membership number. Anyway, I just booked it, $438 in J OW. Really wish they would do a deal with Air NZ or another...

I am looking to book a flight BNE-MNL and PAL's web and customer service systems leave a lot to be desired. Firstly, I can accept that I will get an A320 seat which is only 5 inches extra seat pitch and 3 inches wider than economy. Except you won't find this info on their website. Mabuhay...

Here is a little report: SIN-SYD 16th July 2012 Economy I had a trip planned to the Cebu, Philippines and as there are no direct flights, I was looking for a cheap flight via SIN/KUL/HKG and snagged a sale Jetstar fare to Singapore for about $200 which was a good deal. I was already a...

Wow, if that happened to me and all they offered was $400, I would be beside myself. At the very minimum, as stated by another poster, a full refund and a big letter of apology. She will probably be bringing her own packed lunch for her next Qantas flight after that experience....... Although...

As you say, the earn and burn rates are much better. Personally, I first got interested in AAdvantage when Microsoft Live/Bing Search was giving away free mileage for playing their word games. I did it when I was at work, for an hour or so a day, and after a couple of months I ended up with...

On the advice above, I contacted ANZ just now. I already had a platinum visa card but I am the secondary cardholder, my father gave me the card as an emergency only card when I was backpacking last year. Apparently unless I am travelling with the primary cardholder, I cannot qualify for...

In 30+ countries I have used my NAB Gold Banking Visa Debit and didn't pay any transaction fees, only withdrawl fees on the ATM itself if there are any. I recall the turkish ATMs having a lower withdrawl limit outside the airport, so stock up at the airport if you can. Also, this website has...

Hi, I am going away for 2.5 months in May-July and only taking a carry-on as it will be hot. Mostly Cebu city, but also Manila, Taiwan, Singapore and KL. So I will only be taking my Osprey 35L backpack and loading it to 7kg, but the airlines let you take a second bag, as long as it slides...

As Serfty mentioned, I have been having issues with AFF using Chrome for over a week now and posted that on FT. I am only able to use the site with Firefox, my chrome is still not working, and I have cleared my cookies and cache and that has not resolved the problem. Really annoying because...

I rushed and spent all day and night until 6am figuring out a LONE5 ex-AKL I would be the happiest with, and finally booked it through Qantas with the online tool because I did not have time to get it priced by AA. The base fare when I did it on the morning of the 1st our time was $4099 NZD and...

Oh cough, thanks for posting that. Can you tell me if the price rise is just for global explorer or for xONEx? Is LONE5 ex-AKL is going to rise? If so I have to book one tomorrow. This info is not even on Flyertalk! What is the (one)world coming to?

Does anyone know what "extra personal space" actually means? I have tried looking around and cannot get an answer. I assume it is not the cuddle class as that should be for long-haul. Maybe it means they block a middle seat?
