Well, that rules out the ex-Cathay Pacific and unfortunately also the ex-Virgin Australia Boeing 777-300ERs. :(

I applied for this card a few months ago and the 100,000 bonus Amplify points credited to my account pretty much straight away once I'd met the spend target. I found the online redemption portal quite clunky and couldn't get it to open on my computer, so needed to use my phone to transfer the...

The current offer on this card is 50,000 Qantas points and $25 off the annual fee in the first year. Expires 30/4/25. https://www.stgeorge.com.au/personal/credit-cards/frequent-flyer/amplify-platinum Note that you can't have held an Amplify credit card in the past 24 months to get the bonus...

Thought I'd reopen this thread rather than start a new one. The current offer on this card is 80,000 Qantas points until 30 April 2025. You need to spend at least $6K within 90 days. Note that St.George's exclusion period for past customers to get bonus points offers is now 24 months, not 12...

The current offer on this card is still 150,000 Amplify points. You'd need to spend at least $12,000 on purchases within the first 12 months. This offer expires 30 April 2025. Annual card fee is now $295, reduced to $199 in the first year (or $99 for current St.George customers). Note that the...

The Dan Dan pork noodles on the summer menu looks good.

Well Velocity replied to my email and basically told me to contact them again if I haven't received the bonus points after 31 January 2025.

Direct CBR-CFS flights launching on 23 January 2025, twice per week on Thursdays and Sundays. Using a Saab 340. https://www.linkairways.com/flights/canberra-to-coffs-harbour Fares seem to start at $309 one-way when booked on the FC code, or $317.80 booked on the VA code via Virgin Australia.

Well, with Tigerair and now Rex no longer flying on mainline routes, the domestic price beat guarantee is basically only good if VA happens to be cheaper than Jetstar but you prefer Jetstar for some reason over flying Virgin. Can't imagine that would happen too often. On the international...

I definitely realised this was a risk, so waited until well after midnight GMT to initiate the transfer. Even that didn't save me! 😂 Seriously though, Velocity should have systems that can accurately detect the activity date, especially when it's running promotions like these where the activity...

This is on a 737. Last time I flew SYD-CBR on a 737, the CSM served everyone a drink with a bag of Santos nuts/pretzels and then had to prepare the cabin for landing!

I should have done that. I called Velocity and they asked me to send them an email with a screenshot showing the transfer on 1 Dec. Will have to wait and see what they do with that...

Well after making my first transfer in November, I transferred the entire remaining balance out of my Amplify account on at 3.59pm (AEDT) on 1 December. The Velocity points have just arrived in my account showing an "activity date" of 30 November and a "process date" of 2 December. The activity...

Oops, updated ta.

Running alongside the 10% bonus offer on credit card point transfers, Velocity is giving 15% bonus points if you transfer points to Velocity from IHG One Rewards, Accor Live Limitless, Choice Privileges or Shangri-La Circle by 12 December 2024...

Qantas seems to have reduced its Economy Flex fares on key domestic routes like the golden triangle and east-west routes. The lead-in Flex pricing is now: $359 on SYD-BNE $369 on SYD-MEL $419 on BNE-MEL $679 on MEL-PER $699 on SYD-PER On these routes, the Flex fares also seem to now fluctuate...

Minimum bid for a SYD-CBR flight is $160. Lol, no thanks.

I personally have no interest in buying a package from Foxtel in 2024 (tbh I'm surprised they still exist), but for anyone who might be, you can currently get 75 Qantas points per $1 via the Online Mall. https://shopping.qantas.com/foxtel/ Note this exclusion: I haven't looked into the...

Interesting, but $2.55 is not double $1.80 - wonder where the remaining amount went?

I just noticed when booking a flight the following notice under "Fly Carbon Neutral": I wonder why they stopped? Does Qantas not feel this is worth spending money on any more?
