Having a look at the Membership Rewards, Ascent Premium T&C's... this clause may cause problems: "14.4 Fraud and abuse relating to the earning of points in the program or redemption of rewards, including transfer of points to participating frequent traveller programs, may result in forfeiture of...

I just am amazed at how good a deal this is... Of course AMEX are trying to drum up usage on their cards... But don't they realise it will be abused by those with a brain? I mean this deal is crazy...

Logging into the CBA Awards Centre, I noticed the following deal: Commonwealth Awards welcomes Velocity Rewards as a partner to the program. Velocity is the award-winning loyalty program of Virgin Blue that rewards you faster with flights, accommodation, car hire...

Re: AMEX not accepted or surchage Dear Nlagalle... I am extremely surprised to hear that. I am the Treasurer of an amateur football club. We bank with the NAB. We have a online merchant facility (i.e. we go to a website and enter the credit card details)... We don't need the more...

Yep. I can understand that. However, I just enquired to accept AMEX as a merchant... and they wanted 3.25% + GST... This was as a not-for-profit organisation. That must cover alot of the points expense! They can take it and shove it! Visa and Mastercard are 1.099%.

I rang AMEX and they confirmed that all stays the same until 1 April 2009... when all Rewards Maximiser Cardholders revert to the new system... $1 = 1.25 pts, capped at $100,000 p.a. As mentioned... it was a little ridiculous having a card offering unlimited points at the $1 = 1.5 conversion...

From 1 April 2009, the Rewards Maximiser Card will change its point earning rules. Cardmembers will earn 1.25 points per dollar spent, capped at $100,000 spend per annum. This is a huge and unfortunate, but expected change... particularly considering the other cards and caps they have in their...

NM, having attained Lifetime Gold Status, have you ever considered asking for a refund for the 18months that you are owed? They would probably deny it I would imagine. Just a question I have had for all you lifetime golds out there.... I know it is something I will never achieve... I always...

I have to agree with the state of the AUH airport... Once again I don't think it was built with the massive growth Etihad has experienced in mind. Furthermore Abu Dhabi is certainly 'older, less modern buildings' than Dubai... but they are changing and developing.. They were a little behind...

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 Class...

Dave - That comparison sounds fantastic... But I prefer to compare the differences when travelling in First Class. AU - Europe on QF Metal, in First Class, Return: Using the QFF, 384,000 QF Points are required. Using AA Program, you will require 160,000 AA points (to get this you will only...

When i read it, it was a brief glance. Having re-read it, you are correct. No the general level and scope of coverage for medical expenses whilst overseas is great, all aspects of the travel insurance coverage is great... However, I cannot use the coverage - if I am walking down the street...

Please find attached the terms and conditions relating to the Rental Car Hire coverage. The definition of Covered Rental Trip seems to require the rental hire occur within Australia??? Therefore, no good if you hire a car overseas????????? I am still very concerned that one is not covered for...

We have traveled on about 16 Business Class Trips with QF and BA using our points. For our last trip to Dubai and onto Italy/London, there was no easy route to use points, and even if there was, it would have been impossible. So we decided to use one of the more direct routes and pay $$ ...

The article is to be found in the inserted AFR Magazine. There is nothing of real note in the article. Nothing we don't already know. Talks about how the no.1 desire of members is for them to get any seat that is available.

DJ's have finally announced that they have chosen AMEX as their general purpose credit card partner. We will have to wait for further details. I am interested to see if the shareholder rewards program is retained in some shape or form. PaulZ You can see the announcement at...

I was just re-reading the fine print for the Complimentary Travel Insurance which is included with the AMEX Platinum Charge Card. I was a little concerned with the effect of one of the general exclusions of the policy. The exclusion (on page 25 & 26 of the Assistance and Assurances Booklet)...

Plop11 What, they halved the Platinum Charge Card Fee for your first year... to $450???? They used to have a policy NEVER to reduce the Platinum Charge Card Annual Fee... "Mr Z, We have cardholders spending over 3 million dollars p.a. and they still pay the $900 fee. It is never reduced...

You are able to transfer up to 50,000 points p.a. from some AMEX cards to another person's AMEX rewards account. I don't know if this is just a Platinum Charge Card benefit? That is where i got the form from.

Having a look at the AMEX website... It would appear that this new Blue Sky Card has replaced the Rewards Maximizer?? I can no longer see that card in their product portfolio on the compare cards page!!!
