Didn't get a specific points-for-x-spend like you but I got a 10x booster. My partner got a 30x points booster on minimum $100 so will make use of that one

Oh I just can't let an opportunity to bash Apple go by. I have owned several Apple products and the only one I liked was the 1st generation iPod Nano. Since then I have only gripes. I hope someone got fired for that ridiculous charger design! I'm forever a Windows/Linux/Android person, I think...

Can you elaborate on type of card? And was it all in one transaction or did you split it?

I totally agree with this decision, I always feel annoyed for other passengers who are clearly not happy to be filmed. Some aviation vloggers, e.g Nonstop Dan, go to lengths to ensure people aren't filmed (at least in recent years) but some dont care at all. I wonder how many of these...

n=1 I haven't been able to fall asleep on my back since I was about 4 years old. I'm a side sleeper. If i roll on to my back in the night, I wake up from my own snoring. My father has sleep apnea and cannot sleep on his back either. I can "rest" just fine sitting up, but not sleep

I did this during our LAX-SYD because my lap-toddler wouldn't sleep much. And those aisle J seats on QF do not have a lot of storage. I was up and down all the time, fishing out new books, toys, activity packs for the little guy 🙃

Since my toddler started daycare in early September, I have had maybe 10 days of not being sick. Same for my partner. My son has had even fewer days. He even spent three days in hospital with high fever and IV antibiotics and fluids. I know this time will pass and it gets easier, but my goodness...

Other people in this thread have had concerns about this. Looks like Virgin Money will often first issue a statement that ends on your join date, and then they begin your statement period on your join date. Some people "missed" their first month but had points retrospectively added after...

I cancelled my Velocity Flyer card in early August, considering going for the High Flyer card later this month... I know there isn't a specific cool down period listed for these cards but I suspect they'd happily decline me given I churned their other card just a few months ago. Has anyone...

Wow that's intense. I was just ranting in the ANZ Black thread about the information they demanded, but this is on a new level. Interesting you mention novated lease, I'm entering into one next month for the first time and I'm wondering how it will affect future CC applications. I guess I...

Thanks for venturing into the fray for us, @Dr Ralph I think I'll give this one a miss, I certainly have no desire for them to email my manager or payroll dept.

Similar timeline, got points same day as you. Must be batching. Applied 7/10 Approved 9/10 Balance transfer of $500 13/10 Email asking for VFF# 20/10 70k VFF points received 16/11 I'll hold on to this account until I receive the $100 gift card from the "spend $1,000 get $100" promo

My phone only has one physical SIM slot. Yearning for the day Boost Mobile finally supports eSIM.

That's why I said "similar" - I used a Canadian number. So it wouldn't work if the provider requires an Aussie number. Australia is so strict on who can issue/manage Aussie mobile numbers. I haven't looked at any other cloud providers, perhaps Azure has something you could use?

I didn't know there was much of a market for this. I created a similar solution in the AWS cloud just for my own use. It would not be too challenging to scale it up for commercial use 🤔 Although there would be tons of regulation for storing people's personal information and verifying identity...

Oh, I once did supply payslips to ANZ for a different card application. They managed to make that painful as well! I had recently had a child and work provides 18 weeks paid paternity leave. So I took it flexibly with all of January off and the rest by working 4-day weeks. Loved it, almost worth...

When I applied I submitted bank statements instead of pay slips, can't remember why, but I will never do it again. They rang me to interrogate me over every little thing they could find. Like I had some payments to Norway, helping my sister pay down a loan, and the decription said "loan" so they...

I cancelled this card about 3 months ago and managed to get a partial refund of $345. No idea how the call centre person pulled this off, I held the cards for about 4 months

Can you link more than one ER account to your Qantas account? Just googled it, not allowed

I didn't bother reading the Terms closely so I just set up BPAY scheduled payments to hit the minimum. Was wondering why I didn't get the 10k bonus, turns out BPAY is excluded. Oh well... Too much work for 10k, personally 🤷
