Whilst it may have been cheapened - Why dont you take advantage of it?? Clearly you should request your the free AMEX Platinum Credit Card. Not only will you get your free return flight, but if you are a big spender, you will increase the $1=1.5pt earn rate to $300,000 annual spend. PZ

For some, being on the same plane for 22 hours may be appealing - However, I dont think that i could cope being airborne for that long, and i usually travel First or Business. I would die in Economy. What do other people think? PZ

With your points value being cut in half - my brother had the same problem. Simply pay your gold or silver annual fee, 3 months later, upgrade to the Platinum Card - they shouldn't charge you the increased annual fee till your next anniversary. When you are platinum, you can transfer all...

Hi, Has anyone used the Platinum Charge Card's Travel Insurance? Any problems? I am very eager to hear about the medical components, that is my primary concern. I am worried I may get ill and am not covered. A friend had a heart attack over there and it cost him USD$80,000 as he had no...

Hey, I have tried searching the existing forums for the answer to my question without luck! As a gold member, do I get any benefits when booking award international Business or First class seats? I.e. are any more seats available to me? Thanks, PaulZ

Booking through Qantas on the web and via the phone, i have never been notified of a charge for paying by credit card. I dont believe they charge a fee for using a credit card, or am i wrong?

My Dream Job! :P Where do i Apply? Seriously!

Mal (and others), How does one take advantage of credit file monitoring? Is there a way to view ones own credit file online, or do you have to send away for it? Is there a cost? Paul

Hi - I was wondering if some of you experts out there could assist me with a RTW Trip. I need to get to Rome, Italy and Krakow, Poland (from Adelaide). I am looking at departing towards the end of November or the beginning of December and being away for just over/under a month. I noticed...

Has anyone ever made a booking through bestflights.com.au? Did everything work out ok? Would you recommend them? I went to a travel agent today and they suggested that to travel to Rome and Krakow would cost me in the vicinity of $2500 - seems like a rip-off compared to the below RTW trip...

I wonder if you experts out there on the APEC Card can help me with a question i have. At the moment i am regularly travelling from Adelaide to China - Shanghai mainly - 6 times p.a. I am importing some earthmoving equipment which costs a 1/4 of what i used to pay for them in the USA. At...

In my opinion, apply for the CBA/Woolworths EZY Mastercard and cut up that NAB Visa Card pronto!! :P The Ezy Card costs you only $39 but enables you to earn 1 QFF Point per $1 spent. FANTASTIC!! This is the cheapest Mastercard/Visa Card on the market that enables you to earn 1 point per...

No it doesn't excite me at all. I was simply pointing out the advantage of being able to understand the other person on the line and the speed of their service. I hate wasting valuable time on hold.

Got my new Platinum Credit Card in the post today. Looks great!! :P However the best feature so far is their 24/7 call centre. I have rang the Platinum Call Center three times now and i got through to an Australian within 15 seconds. FANTASTIC Service. Love it.

Dont forget the airline taxes and govt charges are included and that is probably worth at least $100 + the actual cost of the airfare. Sure if you are a CPA member why change. I agree. With regards to AMEX chasing us for our business - Doesn't happen. I have spent on average $175,000 p.a...
