https://www.doctorofcredit.com/chase-british-airways-100000-point-bonus-after-7500-in-spend-aer-lingus-iberia/ I was interested in this until I saw the other thread about QR doubling the taxes and fees. It looks like I will never get to fly in J no matter how many cards I churn.

Tax Taxes/Levies/Surcharges on J to IST or ESB in J is now $855! Just last week I was looking for the same and the tax was $375 in J. This basically takes me out of the game for J class awards. Even Y is now 42.5k + $511! Taxes Taxes/Levies/Surcharges are the same on BA and QR.

My minimum spend for Chase Ink was done by 80% Officeworks Visa gift cards, 15% Vodafone/Foxtel and random fast food and misc. I was a bit nervous but yesterday my statement posted and I got the SUB and combined it with CSP. I may be in a different category with over 12 years history with...

But they are a pita to deal with when schedule changes mess up your itinerary. Last year, if I had accepted their "married" schedule change with a 55 min layover in DFW I would have missed the flight to MIA and subsequent non-daily flight to BON. I had to make several calls to QF because while...

I churn cards in the USA sporadically and I don't agree with Flying Blue as the top. Skyteam has a much more limited list of partners although they are good for US-Europe and some Caribbean Islands. A couple years ago I got BON-AMS-IST for like 35k in Y and it would have been a $1400 ticket at...

Cap 1 is a problem child even for normal US citizens. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/capital-one-rewards-miles/1955508-capital-one-security-changes-makes-international-account-access-difficult-7.html I was thinking about walking into a branch and applying for a Venture X so I could alleviate...

You could take up bird watching as a hobby. I can guarantee no crowds of tourists or otherwise in the remote destinations!

One of the Chase Ink cards that you can make the minimum spend on. There's one that wants $8000 USD/3 months for 120k, one that wants $6000/3 months for 90k and one that is split, the Ink Cash (that was my choice) that gives you 6 months to do $6000 for 75k.

Cash please! Not that I would ever be anywhere close to that!

Another selling point is the 0% apr for the first year. I managed to do my $6000 USD minimum spend partly from paying for my trip to South America and partly by using 5x Visa gift cards from Officeworks to prepay my bills for the next 3-4 months. I can repay it gradually because there is no...

End of an era. Annual fee posted to my Surpass. Called them up citing the loss of Priority Pass makes the annual fee not valuable to me. Got the usual spiel about benefits, $50 a quarter credit. This would have been worth it as an annual $200 credit but I simply don't travel enough, not 4...

I had a previous business login from 2015 and mine showed up there. Once you get your online business login, there is a link in the left side to link to your personal profile.

You use the business login to combine UR in one account. I use the CSP. There are surprising bargains in booking non chain hotels using 1.25% in USD. Also good for lesser known airlines or harder to find rewards. Or transfer them to an airline. Last Sept there was 30% bonus transfers to...

Nah, after drron's story I am just too spooked to rent a car overseas with the possible exception of NZ. The Santiago part of my trip is just to Reserva Los Cipreses accessed from Rancagua and I can get there by train from Santiago, then join a guided day trip to the park.

For those of you who use a mail forwarder, does Chase ever send anything in snail mail other than actual cards? I have email/online switched on for everything but not sure if I am missing anything. Sadly my friend who let me use his address passed away a few months ago and I don't know his...

I hope this link works. If you love birds and you love visiting Turkiye, you have to see this!

What happened in Chile? I was considering renting a car but even before I read drron's report I had decided it was cheaper to use public transport, some Ubers and a couple of day trips with a tour agency to see what I want to see. I would have needed an automatic, maybe a small SUV with...

You had my attention with Turkish but then I saw the entry fee to the mandatory Premier Checking! Too rich for my blood. But if you go for this card, out of all the options, Turkish would be my choice, you do get better availability on their program than with *A partners.

Yes I was wondering why legal cover was part of insurance policies, OATEK wrote it better than I did. If I were a victim, still my first thought would be to get the hell out of there as long as I wasn’t being forced to stay. But I can’t afford AUD $25k to defend myself from an unlucky...

Why would you want a lawyer if you hadn't been detained or accused of something?
