I got my first avios by buying something from the store, from memory it was a gift card so I didn't even need to worry about it getting delivered somewhere. BA recently adjusted the prices so now the cost seems pretty much on par across the different currencies with only a small difference - it...

I'm gold, very interested - last year was a blast! Might just be in the middle of relocating from Darwin to Canberra so may be on the road then... If I can make it I will be there!

Platinum 18/10 DRW-BNE QF1875 13:35-17:55 20/10 BNE-DRW QF1875 09:05-12:50 Was tempted to go VA but decided nah. Staying at the Sebel where I have no status :(

About 5 minutes! The trick is to not glare at them all the time :p

I Was approved in December and it will take them the full 5-8 weeks to credit it. Met the spend within statement period and didn't get points until March (so pretty much 3 months later)

Sitting on QF1605 (DRW-PER) just waiting for doors to close. Economy only A320 but got a personalised welcome and a chilled bottle of water and a double shadow! Not bad given the aircraft. Probs the only P1 onboard Also got another key ring thingo

I saw that too! She was also on my plane and was flying Y, which was not what I'd expect from a celebrity (if she was one)

Unfortunately I'm going to have to downgrade to gold - last minute work trip so I'm juggling some things. Will try to make it!

I'm really looking forward to it! It'd be cheaper and faster to fly but I figured I'd try something different

I'm also going through this now and has to send a similarly long list of documents. I don't recall having to provide this much info to a bank in years, particularly not for a credit card. It's been going on for about 2 weeks. After submitting all my docs and getting a request for more docs, I...

I'm using it as a justification for a RTW. Am also checking out the California zephyr in America and spending a few days in Iceland plus checking out a lot of lounges along the way but the lunch conveniently gave me a date to aim for :)

I am gold, verging platinum for this. Leave is in, just trying to book a RTW to get me there (and home).

Yeah, I've been churning for a while but only this year started trying to flip one every two months. I never thought that they would stay listed as open on my credit file for so long! And agree with the NAB limbo comment, if you call NAB they'll probably tell you you have to call Coles direct...

G'day all, I applied for the Coles Flybuys Rewards card to get some velocity points (I'm a diehard QFFer), and was very surprised when I got rejected with no explicit reason given. Whilst I do have 2 cards open (St George QF Amplify, $15k limit; Bankwest Qantas Plat, $10k limit) and a...

Yeaaaj but where's the fun in calling Qantas to release a seat when I could use it as an excuse to fly somewhere obscure for free (plus taxes) :p

There's also lots of options out with CI through Taipei if you're happy to take an indirect route. Doesn't work for me as it will break the RTW rules but it may give you more options

Ouch I'm struggling to find flights out that late besides the direct flight back to Aus. Is it because people fly in on the day or is it due to check-in timings?

Correction to my last - due to the ridiculous lack of award availability out of HKG on the 9th (I wonder if there's something happening on that day??) This will not be my last stop and I am in a similar boat to @CaptainCurtis. @CaptainCurtis - if you take the 1500 flight out of HKG for...

Imy gold. Planning on making this my last stop on an impromptu Qantas RTW

Yeah not far off from one a month, maybe one every two. Look I don't know for sure if it's total credit limit or cards open but given that the number of cards is normally a factor in your total credit limit I'd say there isn't much difference unless you ask for the max limit for each card you...
