    Putting Amex Into credit?

    No, it doesn’t access you credit rating I’m pretty sure. The way they police their charge cards is very weird but mostly predictable. If I was going to do a big purchase and check my comfort limit prior, I’d check 6 months out or so if possible.

    Uber cancellation request from Driver; is this the norm?

    Sounds like a scam of some sort. I refuse to cancel the ride, always. If you have a backup app it’s helpful as they tend to play a game of chicken, knowing you need to get somewhere

    EY J Singapore to Europe just over $3,000 return

    Do they have any way to upgrade to F on these fares? Do they still even have F?!

    How many businesses can you pay with one Amex

    They won’t know or care. The card is held in a personal name anyway, not as a business liability/entity

    How many businesses can you pay with one Amex

    The question makes no sense. Do you mean how many different business’ expenses can you pay?

    Bali Flights Cancelled due to Lewotobi Volcano Nov. 2024

    No TI in Aus has acts of god exclusions. It’s an American thing. Edit- that said, a policy may exclude natural disasters but I’ve never seen it. Worth always checking your pds over before buying.

    Ask The Pilot

    Any thoughts about the various Indonesian carriers still flying through the Ash cloud while VA and JQ have stopped flights? Is there more to this than just “those LCCs are dodgy”? I wouldn’t have thought a pilot anywhere would value the job more than life?

    eSims, what is your experience.

    Sorry, yes, it’s a long press. I call everything a tap… but it’s still a thing at least!

    On the iPhone, if the QR is for a sim, just tap the qr and it will ask if you want to install it ;)

    Earning Qantas points from New Zealand

    Do a deal with someone for some wine? You aren’t after a heap of points, right, just activity to keep them alive? Buy the cheapest QF wine item and see if anyone wants to pay you a fraction of its worth for it. Similar can work for bulk points tbh, using some of the promos it works out at very...

    Proposed Social Media ban for under-16 kids

    You generally don’t wake up and just take your life, however. There are years and years of issues behind it. While the headlines may be about suicide, as with car accidents, it’s the morbidity, not the mortality, that is the bigger number. I’m in favour, but also suggest that forums are not...

    Putting Amex Into credit?

    Plat charge is different, but if they have told you to do it then I guess it’s ok. You can check your “limit” yourself on the app or on the website, too, btw. Don’t play with it too much or it can trigger issues, I have heard anecdotally. They normally are pretty generous, I’ve tested 10 times...

    HSBC Star Alliance Vs Wise for overseas payment

    Your hsbc star card will add its own 3% or so to the visa rates online, check the pds. You need a card with no foreign exchange fee, in future, if doing this regularly. Also do not accept offers to pay in your home currency. You’ll always pay more. In your current case, putting AUD in to VND on...
