    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I activated mine no problem but then had a fraud alert when I tried adding the card to Apple Pay, which they eventually lifted after some SMS verification thing (the code they sent in the mail never arrived). Initially I also found that when I paid the card the funds weren't credited...

    Qatar denied extra capacity into Australia

    Joyce's latest argument is that essentially Australian carriers (i.e. QF) have no interest in flying to DOH so giving QR more flights to Australia is a one-sided trade. But if QF doesn't want to fly to DOH then it shouldn't have a problem with someone else doing so since it has no interest in...
