So I've just booked a flight on BA (with QFF points) in business class (rewards) on which I was able to select seats quite easily (QF Gold / OW Sapphire). Turns out that I had to make another booking for a family member on the same flight, and unfortunately they had no status so wasn't able to...

Inter terminal connection in SIN is never a big deal, both for bags and pax. Experience with SQ is they'll probably check through your bags without issues. Even if you have to collect and re-check, 1h50m is more than enough, except if delayed.

Wah it's the ATO season again and I only have one card left. Does the BW Plat QF MC still pay the ATO? At 0.4% fee it doesn't seem to bad...?

Is it only me or do you guys also get this error when trying to open the payment form: An error has occurredWe are currently experiencing technical difficulties. We apologise for any inconvenience. Try again later. Refer to Online services for individuals - troubleshooting for assistance or...

It seems that ATO have just jacked up the card payment fee (Visa/MC) to 0.54% from previously 0.42%. Still somewhat profitable though... so I still pay with CC. Edit: ah, it seems to have been discussed above :D

I think someone said the Qantas discovery card (free, blue color) also does 1 point per dollar.

In my case I'm existing BW customer with a PAN, so I guess no need to ID. The application was conditionally approved online.

I wonder how long they normally take for processing the applications. I applied online last week and sent my payslip via email. Haven't heard from them ever since...

I wonder if anyone can confirm whether HSBC cards (in particular, HSBC Premier or Platinum) still pays the ATO, or have they stopped altogether? Thanks!Edit: it seems they're dead since 1 May 2016. Time to cut up the cards...

Yeah in my case it's personalized "fly to Singapore...." I originally thought it's for flights to Singapore only (how special!) which I've been looking around for.

I was checking out the BW Qantas (platinum) card and it seems the T&C has been updated on 20 June, including: Qantas Points are earned on all purchasesmade using the Card Account except: ... - Government charges (other than GSTpayable in connection with the purchase ofgoods or services on which...

It seems that they've upped the referral bonus on this card. Referrer now gets 30k points per referee (previously 20k?) while referee gets 15k points upon spending 550$. http://amex.com.au/refer/andrikHnl6

Another data point: I signed up while having another Amex CC (by Amex), indicating so in the application form, and was approved and got my sign-up bonus. So far I haven't heard of any one being denied the sign up bonus. Amex do (from what I hear) limit customers to two cards at a given time...

Re: HHonors Promotions Can anyone confirm that this still works? The website is dated 2015 and I can't find the reference to it from elsewhere.

I'm not sure what you've been told about Qantas cash is correct. If I'm not mistaken even after you get the new card, you'll still need to reactivate with the new Qantas cash card to transfer it across. I assumed until this is done, the old card keeps working (the Qantas Cash part have a longer...

If you're travelling shortly, it is possible to call them up and have them expedite, e.g. similar to getting a replacement card.

In a couple of occasions when my status changed e.g. gold to platinum, I have had to call in and get the agent to "remove the number and put it in again" so my correct status is affixed to the itinerary (if it was booked prior to status change). Without doing so, I wasn't able to select...

From experience payments used to be processed really quickly, and then they "upgraded" the system, making it _always_ fall into the longer end (sometimes even beyond) of the acceptable processing time that they advertised. There's only one reason that makes sense to me: it's done intentionally.

I would imagine people dealing with S****ybank going forward would read the T&Cs in a "what's in there that's going to bite me" instead of "yeah that's reasonable" perspective. Really when the goodwill is lost, no amount of T&Cs would make me trust the counterparty.
