    Citibank Signature 90k QFF bonus, $4k spend in 90 days, $0 first yr annual fee, exp 30 June 2019

    Applied last night, approval came through less than 12 hours later with nothing more than a payslip supplied. Much better experience with some other banks that have really made it hard to get approved.

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    What comparative Y->J upgrade success rates are WP's seeing between QF94 (A380) and QF96 (787) between LAX and MEL? From my own small sample set, I've only managed a Y->PE upgrade on the 787 previously 2/2 times and Y->J 2/4 and Y->PE 1/4 times on the A380. I would expect more success on the...

    After D-Day, Whats your new strategy?

    From here I plan to churn between 1 QFF point per dollar Visa cards and mix in an Amex Qantas Ultimate for 100K points x 2 every 18 months or so between Mrs HockeyMonkey and I. The extra 0.25 points per dollar just isn't worth it.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Does missing out on 100,000 QFF points on a credit card churn count? I mistakenly thought i’d met the minimum spend requirements but was $80 short due to a bpay payment :(

    AY RTW Sale

    In October Mrs HockeyMonkey needs to be in ATL and I need to be in ORD at the same time for work. We would also like to spend a week together in JFK either before or after our work commitments. Could we make the AY RTW J fares work in our favour? Origin in MEL.

    Caltex Starcard/QFF

    How did you go? I managed to spend $150 in Feb but some of the transactions haven’t posted yet. Hoping it is based on the transaction date if it is by calendar month.

    Credit Card Offers Qantas Premier Titanium: 150,000 bonus Qantas Points

    Maybe Mrs HockeyMonkey and I are just in the wrong sectors (University and Software respectively) but both of our current employers and all past employers have had a Y policy. How common are J or F travel policies outside of the finance sector these days?
