Looks like they ended the sale early. Just went to try the code and visited the promo link. Says now has ended :(

Agreed, or at least if the intention of the credit card is to have a balance (some people do use it for this) 100% should not be a rewards credit card. At least a low rate card should be used. Still, my point of the thread was first to ask the question out of curiosity / then when I found the...

I was just looking through the current Amex cards and noticed the interest rate is now 23.99%. I don't think I've ever seen any credit card that high. I guess its due to the recent interest rate increases.. but I bet they won't go back down when they lower. I double checked my own statement and...

My question would be is QF systems smart enough to know the difference between base point earn and bonus points earn on a cc? It all just arrives as CC points.

Got a reminder today telling me I am well on my way, that I completely forgot about. My offer was 22,000 in 3 months. On the start day I received a CC sign up bonus, does that count?

Is this a search for all the availability for the year? Ie there is currently no SYD - LAX QF11 F availability on any flight? Or did you just check a specific date range? This is just a question to understand not to complain. Either way thanks for the post.

To follow on from this, I found there is links to this offer for each card and they "might" work even if not targeted. Someone I know used the link (without being targeted) and were able to upgrade with the offer. Platinum Edge: The Platinum Edge Credit Card | AMEX Australia Explorer: The...

At check in front desk said breakfast is included as diamond benefit (no mention of charge), at breakfast they marked my room off and said nothing about the paid upgrade for hot food. We ate the hot food and there was no charge to the room after.

Property name: Double tree flinders street Melbourne Room booked: I booked 2 x queen room. Received 2 x king skyline river view. Ive stayed at this property 100+ nights and this is the best upgrade ive received. Once before I’ve got the same room type upgrade. Breakfast: full breakfast no charge...

Not exactly a retention offer, but couldn't find anywhere more suitable to post this. So the back story is, someone else I knew received an upgrade offer in the mail from the American Express Essentials card to the Explorer card around 2020. I've been looking into getting the card but I have the...

Does anyone know if I book 2 rooms in the same booking, will this hurt or help any chance of an upgrade for at least one of the rooms? As a Diamond.

I suspect very restricted initially while these flights are a "novelty" and "high demand" once demand rolls off a bit - if it does, then we might start to see the occasional seat pop up. Knowing QF thought I imagine these to be vary sparse and mostly only show up during points planes or the...

Yeah so this is my question is "why". Why the legislation? Was there an incident, overzealous security policy, was it to protect our duty free shops, as to make it difficult to purchase DF on the way to Aus so we "have" to buy it on arrival here? It's rather inconvenient for many involved, what...

I wanted to start a discussion on the reason for gate delivery of duty free items for flights to Australia. For the longest time most my international travel has been direct to, from Australia. So I never really purchased duty free on other flights or thought about it too much. A couple of...

Depends, I have a specific stay in mind and know ill save money by using the points. I wouldn’t buy them speculatively just to boost your balance.

100% also looks like the 80k cap has been removed? I can buy up to 240k points now

I booked SYD <> HND Flex Y 240 SC. Considered doing via MEL for the extra SC but I knew i'd be hating life if I did that to myself. It wasn't very good value $2850 (used $450 amex credit to take it to $2500) but its a trip I plan on taking anyway, and hopefully I can get the upgrade to J to make...

Webjet flights provide SC right? I have an Amex offer I'm considering using during DSC.

I think the website is getting smashed tonight - probably with the DSC offer. Its been very slow and more buggy than usual.

I went through BNE twice in Jan and both times was asked to produce boarding pass to enter J lounge - as a gold flying J. I don't believe it was scanned, just looked at.
