    USA Canyons

    Sounds a great trip, I look forward to seeing photos you post. I did a road trip out that way over a few weeks in mid 2018, checked out Canyonlands and Arches while in Moab, then North Rim Grand Canyon, then through vegas and Death Valley NP and lastly Sequioa NP. I second what others have said...

    Platinum sitting in economy - Do the airlines pay extra attention to us?

    Having bumped up and down between WP and SG the last few years, I find there is definitely an empty seat next to me more often when I'm WP, and also there is the odd greeting given to me at my seat addressing me by name and telling me if I need anything during the flight just to let them know...

    Citibank Signature Qantas 150,000 points

    This card was a nice straight forward experience for me. Hit the min spend in first month, and bonus 100K points posted with the first statement a week or two ago. I'll cancel now - as others have said, hanging onto the card for another 11 months to get the extra 50K points at the anniversary...

    Citibank Signature Qantas 150,000 points

    I applied for this card on the weekend, got approved today after a straight forward process of providing a payslip. Have never had a citi product before. Any experience on how long its likely to take to get the bonus points after I hit the min spend?

    Westpac Altitude Platinum Card - 60k Qantas, $50 fee first year

    Latest version of this card is 60K points on a $3K spend for $100 annual fee in first year. Super easy process for me, I hit the min spend within first week of having the card and was impressed when the bonus points came with first statement this weekend.

    Bankwest Qantas World MC 90k bonus, $6k spend in 3 months, $135 first year annual fee, exp 31 August 2019

    Same as others - my bonus points posted on Saturday, 5 months after being approved for the card, so longer than some banks but no need for any intervention. Was initially planning to hang onto this card for the fee free foreign transactions, but have changed my mind and will churn this week.

    Qantas 'My Platinum News'

    "You have flown on our Dash 8 Q400 21 times in the past 12 months, clocking up 49,621 km onboard". Good thing I bring my own IFE

    Bankwest Qantas World MC 90k bonus, $6k spend in 3 months, $135 first year annual fee, exp 31 August 2019

    my spend points didn't start coming through until 3rd month. Bonus points look like they'll come in the 4th month

    Lisbon - Great Capital.

    Spent some time in Lisbon last year, I agree with others, great city. Sintra is definitely a must do day trip when you are there too. Mrs and I flew into Lisbon with our mountain bikes and rode the Portuguese Camino from Lisbon up through Coimbra and Porto and along the coastal route to Santiago...

    Bankwest Qantas World MC 90k bonus, $6k spend in 3 months, $135 first year annual fee, exp 31 August 2019

    Hmmm, my 4th statement should be ready tomorrow. I took out the card in June and hit the mimimum spend for the bonus points by late July. First statement came with the card, so the one tomorrow is really the 3rd statement with something to pay. I've just checked my ff account and I've finally...

    Regain status OR one world classic award?

    What class are you looking to book for the one world award? The reason I ask is because if you are looking for J flights, I think you'll struggle to find much availability with bronze status. Might be fine if you are just looking for Y

    Bankwest Qantas World MC 90k bonus, $6k spend in 3 months, $135 first year annual fee, exp 31 August 2019

    Good to hear, I applied about the same time and am in same situation. I'll probably keep this card for another 18 months or so as the no foreign transaction fees are handy for some OS travel I recently did and will be doing more of in 2020. Hopefully the bonus points post a bit sooner than 5...

    Bankwest Qantas World MC 90k bonus, $6k spend in 3 months, $135 first year annual fee, exp 31 August 2019

    I cancelled my ANZ black yesterday (got the bonus points 2 months ago but was waiting to finish an OS trip I'd booked stuff using the card for to enable the travel insurance). That was the 3rd card I've cancelled this calendar year. I tend to keep no more than 3 active cards at a time, and then...

    Qantas major delays at LAX

    I caught QF12 from LAX to SYD on saturday night and saw the MEL flight had been cancelled. They filled any empty seats on our flight and presumably then looked to other airlines. A couple near me in the lounge weren't thrilled that they were being given a Y seat on the SYD flight instead of the...

    Are Qantas Double Status Credit Promos Really Worth It?

    I think another point to this discussion is that even if the DSC pricing was twice that of the sale fare, I generally wouldn't have the additional leave to take double the time off work to do two trips instead of one.

    Points Club [launched in March 2020]

    I reckon they'll exclude credit card sign on bonuses at some point as counting towards the earn for this club. Otherwise it is just too easy

    Bankwest Qantas World MC 90k bonus, $6k spend in 3 months, $135 first year annual fee, exp 31 August 2019

    So after applying on 30 May and getting approved pretty soon after (after emailing them some requested proof of income) the card showed up today. Will churn ANZ now once bonus points show up.

    Bankwest Qantas World MC 90k bonus, $6k spend in 3 months, $135 first year annual fee, exp 31 August 2019

    Just applied. Very convenient timing for me, as haven't had a bankwest card for a while now and am heading OS for a few weeks in July so can use the card for costs during the trip to hit the min spend and enjoy the no foreign transaction fees feature.

    Are Qantas Frequent Fliers being penalised by One World Airlines

    Could be a status thing. I'm WP status and just got back last week from a trip to Spain. Booked the tickets with EK a fair while ago, but had no trouble at all at the time booking J rewards both ways for the +1 and I. I ended up booking into F on the way over just to experience that class. I was...
