    Qantas, Etihad to code share on selected flights

    I don't understand why everyone is so critical of Etihad... I flew them in Feb 08 and they were absolutely fantastic. Everything went perfectly and they easily changed my return flights even when they were paper tickets, all without a hassle or fee. Mind you, I was travelling in First...

    QF Domestic Baggage Q. Adl-Syd-Mel Same Day

    Thanks for that advice Mal. As you suggest, I will try my best to get them to ticket the bag all the way through to Melbourne... (I presume that if this is done, it is held 'behind closed doors' in Sydney awaiting my flight... correct?) If that doesn't work, at least i can pay a little and...

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    Well if you look at it that way... I should have earned 1,210,000 points... less the 20,000 they have graciously :evil: credited to my account... They are claiming i should be on 10t/5k ... so i should get 300,000 based on that... However, I am going to push for the 5t/5k i enrolled into...

    How long to get Centurion inviation / rejected one before

    Who Knows?? I have received 3 invitations so far... in the space of about 15 months. They must be crazy if they think I am paying over $4000 just for the privilege of having a Black Card. Yes there are some advantages over the Platinum Charge Card... particularly if you are a very...

    Best use of reward points ?

    Such a damn shame... Unfortunately I didn't have enough points in my rewards account because I usually just transfer them to Qantas. Today i would have had enough points. Doubt they would lower it for me... Oh well... Didn't REALLY need new phones... but it was an extremely good...

    Is there any reason that people insist on using xx,xx_ etc? Why is it such a secret. If you bother putting xx,xx_... why don't you just tell us the amount? What do you have to lose? If you are going to tell us your story and the details of your enrollment, you might as well tell the whole...

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    I took the leap and gave MR a call... They confirmed I am on the unlimited Scheme. As I didn't qualify for an original offer (i.e. i was never targeted for the offers)... they decided in their wisdom to give me the second offer... 10 transactions = 5,000 points. Not too happy really (I will...

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    If at Woolworths / Coles... splitting into roughly $30 transactions will get you a fuel voucher... (Actually, I think Woolies and Coles should give you vouchers for however much you spend in the transaction... i.e. spend $100 get 3 vouchers...)

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    Well the advertisements on the front page are random... I havent seen it for a while.. so presumably they have removed it... However the websites are there... we know the address... they know the address... they should definitely take it down or amend the T&C there.

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    Having said that... If they are sending out letters to amend the terms and conditions... Wouldn't their absolute first step be to remove the website advertisement... Even if they hadn't formulated the new T&C yet... just get rid of it... ??? If they are amending the T&C this seems highly...
