Right you are! However, I would imagine a few members of this forum are owners of their own businesses? If they have a good relationship with their business banking manager at St George Bank or Bank SA - they should try their luck and ask for one! What is the worst that could happen - "no!"??!!

Actually, St George's Private Bank Platinum Card does offer unlimited points. and 1/1 transfer to QF.

See Attached PDF for Details. First Class looks good, Business Class looks like an improvement. Looking forward to seeing photos. Marc Newson has certainly made many a million out of Qantas hasn't he?!!

I can see all of the Foreign Currency Amounts on my Online Activity Statement. On the top right, press the "show details" button or the " + " Button next to each transaction, and it should show you the foreign currency details... It does for me! Let me know if that works for you. PaulZ

You just ring the Platinum Charge Card Customer Service Number - Option 1 (Printed on the back of your card)

Apologies! I jumped the gun. The first advisor who quoted the wonderful fares was wrong, even after I checked with her 3times. Annoying! The Real Fares are not as attractive really, at all. J $14848 (for 2 pax) + Taxes for 2 Pax F $19648 (for 2 pax) + Taxes for 2 Pax

I have just got a quote from AMEX Platinum Travel for a trip to London on BA. They have quoted a price of $7424 for two passengers in Business Class (ex Melbourne). This doesn't include taxes (payable per person). I cant believe this. I have to recheck with another advisor. But I rechecked...

My Citibank Gold card didn't cut out after spending $60,000. We spent over $100k and got 1:1. The terms and conditions actually talk about minimum. i.e. the gold card is eligible for a minimum of 60,000 pts. (from memory). You are correct. Not that I know of (except for the St George)

Bad News Unfortunately! It seems that you cannot transfer your points to Qantas FF. They said maybe in the future, but not at the moment. Obviously this makes the card less attractive.

There is a new Platinum Card in town and it looks like it could be pretty good. Rewards points are probably the most important feature for most. According to the website you can earn 1.25pts per $1 spend (up to $200,000 annually). The only question is whether they can be redeemed for Qantas...

I notice on my "Your Summary" page on the Qantas Frequent Flyer Website they have added the Field "Qantas Segments Flown"... It would appear they are now enforcing the minimum of 4 Qantas Segments Flown to gain status. I was under the impression this wasn't previously enforced? Or at least it...

I spent $0.98 on Qantas Taxes, do you think I should push for the two QC passes which never came? PaulZ

... and a Fourth Cabin (See my thread on the Qantas Investor Presentation) PaulZ

Some interesting points gathered out of the Qantas Presentation to Investors: International Operations - Introduction of a Fourth Cabin.... (Must be Premium Economy!) Frequent Flyer Program - Access to any Seat... (Can't wait to see that introduced) See the Other Many Details in the...

Would any Westpac Altitute Platinum member be willing to post or PM the first six digits on their AMEX card so i can have a look in more detail some of the features of the card on the entre website. I am probably most interested in the Singapore Airlines Benefit. Thanks PaulZ

Has anyone flown with Ethiad? Was particularly interested in anyone's opinion with regards to their First and Business Class product from Australia to Europe. Thanks PaulZ

I don't think $50,000 will get you into the front door of an American Hospital!!!! Well that is an exaggeration... However, if you have a heart attack, it will cost at least $1,000,000... $50,000 just isn't enough in my opinion. My Platinum AMEX card is Unlimited for Medical Expenses.

Simongr I tend to agree with your above views. I think the general public simply likes to know that the Australian Public has a significant stake in "Australia's National Airline" (via Superannuation if not Direct holding). Its as simple as that. The public doesn't like seeing those big...

If you have a look at the attached Acceptance form... It clearly states that "You will be deemed to have accepted the Offer in respect of all your Qantas shares if you sign and return this form" It also has a field where it tells you your Holding in Qantas (No. of shares). In my opinion, if...

Qantas has disclosed the reason for its suspension: "The Australian Securities & Investments Commission this morning queried the suggestion in the Takeovers Panel Media Release dated 7 May 2007 that as a result of clause 7.3(f)(i) of the terms of the APA offer, APA may have met the 50%...
