it's billed on the first statement as two items: annual fee ($370) plus reward program fee ($55) note, my first statement arrived approx 2 weeks after activation hence i only hit the min spend in the 2nd statement and still waiting for the rebate

@edman we're just using it via apple pay, decided not to bother with the extra plastic

nothing else from "ultimate for..." range? i'm hanging out for a JB hi-fi useable card.

Interesting theory that will be interesting to watch how it plays out. And you are probably thinking about BestJet that collapsed in Dec 2018.

I used them last year for a booking that i couldnt do on 1 ticket elsewhere (QF/AY to Europe with regional connections in both Australia and Europe). Don't remember if the price was the cheapest, but it was worth it having it all booked through. AY e-ticket came through approx 30 mins after...

Had a question on wife's application with her NOA, they were interested if the tax debt was paid or not and wanted to see evidence of such payment in the form of bank statements. Luckily huaca worked.

My 5k has finally posted. Will now use the myer offer on the weekend, then bin the supp.

Just had my first statement, it was issued on anniversary of card approval. Wasn't a surprise to me as i called them after activating to confirm what the statement date was on my account. Recommend you do the same.

Please report back. Catching the same flight later in the year.

Shame. I was able to avoid account closure back in the days and still use the account as my main transaction account. Never minded a few extra points every month and I quite like the app, lightweight and fairly functional. I guess i'll keep using it, this enhancement although annoying is not...

contacted amex today to remind that their self-imposed 9th January timeframe has passed, got confirmed that T&Cs were met and request got escalated, was told it will be another 7-10 business days. Very poor form from amex on this one.

I've personally done QFF card then RTA with anz concurrently in the past, wife done QFF with active RTA just this month, but havent got the points yet. Plenty of evidence elsewhere that anz treat QFF, RTA and rewards as three separate streams, make the most of it while you can i say.

From Wish gift cards T&Cs (https://giftcards.woolworths.com.au/medias/woolworths-wish-gift-card-terms-and-conditions.pdf) paragraph 6.6: Could an argument be had that it's not in fact a "cash-equivalent transaction" as those gift cards cannot be used to obtain cash? Does StGeorge have a...

With only 1000 points the math is marginal. In saying that, i will probably still get a few to go towards the min spend on one of the cards.

Thank you all as always for sharing the knowledge. A couple of references that "Qantas doesn't follow the rule" have planted the seeds of doubt though. Worst case scenario, is it possible to link the pass to the domestic leg, or is the 24 hrs advance rule enforced?

I guess my case is a no go, but i'll ask just in case: what about BNE domestic lounge access after QF J international arrival connecting to a regional QF dash-8 service? No status with QF. It's a single rewards ticket, that was AFAIR charged at J rates, but lists the domestic leg as economy.

True true true, BUT! 100k points and an SQ J booking is a much stronger argument in my view 🙃

I travelled in TG Y about 18 months ago and used a similar offer to what MEL_Traveller posted, but prices were in THB back then and from memory i paid something like 500 baht, which was a bargain! The lounge was nothing special, food and drinks nothing special, showers adequate, took about 30...

Meet offer requirement under which you applied for your Platinum, receive offer points, cancel card. Sit out 12 months exclusion period (or whatever period StGeorge might have at time of your next application). Hunt down a decent offer on Signature and apply as a new cardholder. You will most...

Wife tried similar thing this year: Applied for a new card, hit the spend in a week (ok i did it for her before she got her hands on the card). 100k bonus points post next week. Promptly transferred to SQ as the deval was coming up. Paid the balance on the card and called to cancel, but was told...
