I'm about to test CBA on notices. I have an Ultimate Card where the spend to avoid the fee is $2,500 per month. Having not been notified of any changes to my credit card T&Cs, and having opened not one, but two (one for me, one for Mrs BJReplay) HSBC Star Alliance cards, my spend for the...

Yeah, will do. I've got to double check - I have until the 9th of Dec to nominate or re-nominate for Mrs BJReplay. It is possible that we haven't yet nominated the status/earn airline for her, yet. Which might be good, because at least points won't be potentially lost, but 50,000 bonus points...

Yeah, that's my expectation. I think that there is a way around that, but I am not about to detail that here... I tend to agree. However, what I haven't yet done, but will, is compare, in detail, the T&Cs of my current preferred travel insurance, CBA ultimate included insurance, and HSBC...

Main thing was to get Gold from 1 Jan which should last through all 2025 with Air Canada. It's not clear if the status gets cancelled the moment the card gets cancelled. Air Canada seems to offer the best chance of long status and 50,000 bonus miles.

Undecided, but probably not.

Gotta make it by the 9th of Dec. Fingers crossed

Yeah, that's apparently what they ask for - like a utility bill. Only thing in my wife's name is rates. Licence has address as you point out, but given how slow they are, I figured providing too much rather than too little was the way to go.

No, not yet. It is now a week since the ID and proof of residency was sent though. There's a reddit thread where someone who works for Aeroplan answers questions, and that person reckons 2 to 4 weeks. I'm annoyed with myself though - I thought for some reason it was $4,500 spend to earn gold...

Mrs BJReplay got approved, but right at the point of getting ready to set her up for Star Alliance linking to Aeroplan, it turns out that her Aeroplan account has been deactivated. Your Aeroplan account has been deactivated. Please contact us at 1-800-361-5373 for assistance. This has hit a...

Indeed - I was able to click through from the notification from this thread. Thanks!

Thanks for looking into this - appreciate that you're all going to the effort of looking into this. The old man lost $45k to scams many years ago, and was caught up in yet another recent breach where his medicare number, D.O.B., name, mobile and address got out, so there's just too much risk...

No, the emails are being delivered, but the links do not work because the tracker is being blocked. I knew about your reply because of the email notification, but to find the reply, if I click on the link, I get a message from the browser saying site not found - that's the pstmrk.it site. I...

I just uploaded statements manually. I tried several times to use the manual upload and it kept failing when I went to submit, until I switched to a VPN connection. I did try the log in, but I never expected it to work as I have 2FA set up on my bank account, and I didn't expect it to be...

Yeah, mine was conditionally approved, subject to ID: May because yours got stuck, you didn't get that notification, but you're in a similar position? Anyway, good luck. Hopefully it's worth the effort - the 50,000 Aeroplan points seem to be worth around $1,200 AUD :) Your HSBC Star Alliance...

I've noticed that forum reply notification emails (for forum threads that you've subscribed to) now are tracking URLs - for example... https://click.pstmrk.it/3s/www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au%2Fcommunity%2Fthreads%2Fnew-trs-rules-goods-no-longer-included-in-cap.103413 The Postmark – Leave...

Yeah, I found out that I couldn't submit income docs unless I fired up a VPN. My identity was slow, but worked. Since both myself and Mrs BJReplay are retired and on the same income (not yet at super age, income distributions from a family trust distributing proceeds from selling a business)...

I missed a connection at Frankfurt. Lufthansa tickets and flights. I knew exactly where we had to go and exactly how long we had to get there - 30 minutes from notional arrival to departure due to a 12-hour delay in Singapore. I'd had the entire flight from Singapore (thanks to in-flight...

Yeah, it does. The few times I've needed more, I've paid into it early. With the $10,000 points earning limit (aside from international points), you don't need a high limit on this card, so $25,000 is the sweet spot, limit wise, but it does take forever to get there. If you're travelling (or...

Fairly regularly, they (The Coles Platinum Mastercard) used to offer 25,000 fly-buys points for 1.99% up front if you took a cash advance of $2,500 on your credit card limit (if you chose the 6 month term). You pay back the cash advance over the term (6 months) with no other charges - so 1.99%...

Same! Ditto Coles credit card (used to be issued by CitI) - almost never used, but every now and again I would buy 25,000 fly-buys points for $24.75. 28 Degrees card the same.
