    Siem Reap

    You can definitely withdraw USD from the ATMs there. Maybank ATMs also don't charge a fee.

    Credit Card Offers Amex Explorer: 50,000 bonus Amex points

    Credit Card Offers Amex Explorer: 50,000 bonus Amex points

    I asked previously if booking travel through Amex would give the same options and prices as using a search aggregator, such as Skyscanner. I used my Explorer travel credit yesterday and the flights I wanted on Singapore were about $45 more expensive than the best option on Skyscanner. The...

    Re: Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" bonus given thread. Cancelled my Qantas Premium card just now. Offered a balance transfer deal, then the downgrade to the fee free card. Dropped plenty of hints that I was only looking for bonus points but nothing doing. Easy come, easy go...

    Re: Qantas American Express Premium card /82,500 QFF points / $249 / $3k spend 3 mont Seems like they're just giving these things out now... Both me and the missus were sent passes last week, despite neither of us making a direct Qantas purchase. Happy days.

    Baggage checked through on separate bookings?

    Good to know. Thanks all! Worst case I'll lug it into town on the airport express and check it straight in at the station.

    Baggage checked through on separate bookings?

    Been lurking here a while now, and the trip in question was made possible by the knowledge here, so thanks in advance!
