I am flying a VA international flight from Melbourne to Denpasar and are VFF Platinum. The flight is a VA booked ticket. I was under the assumption I could access the Singapore International lounge in Melbourne on the way out, but my wife things not (and the website is a bit inconclusive)...

Good point, as I mentioned above, it's not good value but if unable to use the points, at least you can get something for transferring elsewhere.

Yes exchange rate is terrible. The spread is worse. SQ rate 6 of their miles going out to 1 mile in return for the same Marriot Bonvoy value. That's chunder.

Guess I'm on the old legacy then. I see on the website (ubank.com.au) you are presented with an option of which UBank which is confusing - the new one didn't work for me so kept with the old one. 1672659684 What are the ramifications of the sweeps now gone, can you just "ditch" the transaction...

Suggest you invest in some cats and/or dogs and quickly learn them up on the Flybuys program. :)

Hah, they just arrived. :)

That is odd. My points still have not posted. The frustrating thing is I want to use them for the booking. I'd be most peeved if the planned reservation (Grand Hyatt Bali Premium Suite with Club Access) was suddenly not available on the dates I had in mind. Hopefully by tomorrow they will...

Not for the purpose of keeping points from expiring but I purchase points from time to time when they are on special (like now) for the purpose of getting accomodation where points required is low (i.e Bali Grand Hyatt and Hyatt Regency). I've found it takes up to 48 hours to come through. I...

Good point. I have 9 nights booked in May, but know they will be complimented by another 10 or so first half of the year....which clearly would not help in a discussion. Just thinking, I do have Diamond Status with Hilton, that could be some leverage to sway choice one way or the other...

Hi, To be an explorist you need 30 nights in the calendar year. I'm sitting on 26 and cancelled a booking a few week back which would have brought me to 29 (yes still one short). What are the odds of asking Hyatt to give me Explorist next year rather than the Discoverest (10 nights+). Has...

Received said extension. I thought I read 31 Dec 2023, then noticed it was March - which is still great. The fact they're only doing 3 months looks like the last of it.

I agree this is a great card and have had it for quite a few years mainly for the benefits it has. Despite the instructions, I don't seem to have the ability to setup PayID with UBank (so I use another bank and transfer). Have you managed to set it up?

The last group of post on this thread go to illustrate why it is important to close and account as soon as you possibly want. Sure in a month or so, it get's closed at the date you requested and is in the report matching and doesn't affect the 12 or 18 (or whatever) month waiting period, but if...

Thank you. Counts me out.

Are gift cards eligible for the 10% discount?- If so, it would make sense to by up to $500 gift cards at Bunnings or wherever and get the 10% off at Woolies.

The same with me. I had three accounts with only one credited the 4k points. Noting all accounts were re-subscribers rather than new subscibers. The first of the three I applied was the one paid the bonus points. I have a suspicion because I used the same credit card it may have caused an...

One floor in the above, is that UBank only pay the higher interest rate up to $250k, your $750k of the $1m will be at a rate of 0.1% I think it is.

- I checked into a Hilton Hotel booking last night (rewards booking) - I have just noticed this thread and registered. - I check out in a few hours. Let's see how I go (although the extra night won't help as I'm only 13 out of 42 to retain diamond (or 28 for Gold).

And can be good value at hotels requiring lower points.

Any rewards program that offers a spot in a competition for a survey or doing any action I ignore. I'll do a survey if they give me points (like Flybuys do).
