Re: Bankwest Transaction account [General Discussion] This thread has been most enlightening! Seeing as I opened this account late last year, all the discussion is relevant. As an non-participant of this thread (aside from this one post) I kinda think Nutcase has one valid point. Certainly...

Just shooting the breeze with a manufacture spend question. If I buy thru the Mall from a bricks & mortar retailer & return the goods in person at my local shop, I guess they'd have no way of knowing the purchase was done via the Q Mall and points would still stay intact? Particularly if I...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Man, that information is really hard to find, so really appreciate the answer. No joke I reckon I have wasted 4 hours of my life looking for that information. I am going to estimate around the $1400 mark for taxes based on...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Yes, that'd be it. There is much opinion on the best way to use points & the general consensus is that Classic Upgrade Awards are generally good value, so paying for Y and using points to get J. Does that rule (I use...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I have the same question in reverse. Whilst this thread is immense help in thrashing out the various options for RTW on points, I thought there was also an equivalent fixed figure in dollars for a OneWorld Explorer or...

Ha! You'll also never do business with Cruiser Elite. And several others I have heard about who dont post here. My q. remains...can they get the points back if they have already been issued? And further, can they get the points back if they don't even exist anymore in the FF account as...

Got card, 40k points awarded late last year & transferred to family member just last week. Trying to cancel without paying annual fee but NAB operator is baulking at the refund of annual fee. They reckon they'll reverse the 40K points if I close card account without paying fee. Can they do that...

Got the NAB card last year, late-ish...around Oct/Nov from memory. Got the 40k points! Woo Hoo! Just transferred into a family member account. I get my statement last week & I'm charged $250 annual fee!! Not happy, so I ring NAB to cancel the card. "Sorry but the 40,000 points are only...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread From what I understand, yes but it costs 3,500 point per pax each change and you risk there being no award seats available leaving it that late.

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Maybe that's why I am struggling too. For me, a first timer with RTW booking, I have entered in each leg, a total of about 7 or 8 eight flights and after spending maybe 15 - 20 mins each time, I always get an error...

Re: Best way to use my points. Ramboflyer, firstly ley me state I am also a newbie at checking out flights but I have also been doing similar research and can state the following (after assistance form others here). 1. You can't do points plus pay as far as I can tell. If you have 500,000...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Well, that'd explain it then! I recall previously actually going through the Qantas site & it redirected me to OW anyway. Will try again. And to Cynicor, yes I thought the upgrade might've been irrelevant as it's an...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Thanks all for answers. I am fiddling around with a test itinerary on the OneWorld website. Have selected a likely route to middle east, then Europe, UK (LHR), the USA (NYC then on to LAX), then back to SYD. At this stage...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Completely missed vetrades first reply, sorry folks. All questions answered for now. One more query...if better bang to get 2 x J on points and pay for 2 x Y, then it'd be essential (at least to SWMBO) that the seats are...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Thanks Danger & Vetrade. Understood. As mentioned, this is one of those "once in a lifetime" trips and is a couple of years away yet. But your answers have assisted. My first question remains unanswered...If I want to...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread q1. Is that charge just for phone assistance from Qantas? i.e If I do all bookings online, do I still pay 3.5k per person? q2. Reading through this thread over the past few days/months it seems I would likely need to ring...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Long time lurker, v sporadic poster. Have finally accrued 560,000 QFF for 4 ( 2 parents & 2 kids, older teenagers) x Y RTW. yay! Has taken several years of credit card points. I want to start thinking about an itinerary...

Parked car at SYD long term parking (I think called Blue Emu now). Shuttle bus was about 100m away & I couldn't be bothered bolting for it, knowing that another bus generally rocks up in another 10-15 mins. So we know where this is heading already. Waited for the next bus...waiting...waiting...

Gday all, An update to this issue. I took my complaint to the ACCC many, many weeks ago. As luck would have it, they did actually heed my lone voice in the wilderness & took it to Qantas. They did let on that I wasn't the only one who had complained. Alas, that avenue went nowhere. So I...

Hi all, kttutsai - you're on! I'll take you up on your offer so I'll be sending you a message offline if I can. I don't want it to take up too much of your time, but I still consider I have a good case. cheers all
