One data point that is doing circles amongst people that I know is the fact to ring AMEX during weekends. The overseas staff of one nationality seem to be amenable to offering some bonus points.

Thats a shame albyd. The landscape around points seems to have certainly moved from Amex to Visa/Mastercard. Tough times for all us points collectors

Not as much as I hoped. Have switched most of my spend from Prestige since devaluation and had around 150K spend on Amex

So we cannot transfer to HHonors from 13th Dec 17. It is a shame as there were some good redemption options at Hilton in Asia. Appears that the benefits are getting eroded gradually. Gone are the times (before devaluation) where 1 citirewards gave us 4 HHonors points!!!

Called in for our Personal Explorer card and got offered 40,000 points. Not a bad effort for 4 minutes on the phone.

Never fly Jetstar - just don't find it palatable for some reason. So looks like I have to do multiple domestic in Qantas for those SC's. Thanks for the help.

A noob question perhaps. I am taking a couple of J paid flights (4 return J BKK-BLR in 2 months). They are all saver fares. Can someone with experience let me know the best FF program to credit these miles. Should I just opt these miles into Flysmiles (@125% miles) or bank them into Qantas (not...

Strongly agree that Indian Vegetarian from Y are much much better than J options - this coming from a person from the sub continent.

Expiring 12 Sept 1.9% BT on prestige at the moment

Jealous - As someone who is in Bangalore every quarter, I am just SAD that this has not been bestowed on us!!!!

Which other cards earn 2 to 3 KP per $??.

Obviously it made its way through part of a larger discussion about Citi.....

I guess CE Carls meant the Westpac Krisflyer Platinum AMEX/Visa, unless there are other grandfathered cards which were as/more rewarding. I should confess, the reason I upgraded mine to Westpac Platinum Amex was only because of those gold nuggets you/COVE keep dropping into this AFF forum!!!!

I have been with Citibank for a decade now. I emptied out a 6 figure Citi rewards to Kris today. I intend to keep the card as other benefits may just about tip the scale to stay with Citi. I was put on half fee last year (0 fee before on Select/Prestige). So, if they offer the same half Annual...

Mine comes up for renewal in 3 months. Hopefully we do not lose the card. Probably still one of the best in AMEX for ATO payments

Just rung up a couple of days ago and was offered: 0% BT for 6 months on Prestige and/OR 5.9% 15 months on Ready Credit. No application fee on both

Gone since last night. It could have been booked when I last looked a couple of days ago. In saying that, I have seen MH offering fares as low as $1490 for (MEL-BLR) on business promo often. I have set a fare alert with google flight to let me know when it appears again. We should confess that...

I will have to borrow CE's line "I fly on points". I hold a lowly basic status with all three airline alliances.

Yes, it is kind of getting strange. The SQ taxes and surcharges are now appearing to make its presence felt. Same kind of dilemma - looking for return MEL-BLR, Paid J with MH - $1590 Redemption - 123,250 + A$810 Not sure which way to go. The only downside to J in MH (KUL-BLR) is the lack of...

Can confirm that I have had 3 J savers in the past (a few times actually). 2 Booked straight away and 1 on waitlist that cleared a week before travel. Data point for travel from Melb though. I understand this (3X J savers) is also getting harder to get by - probably because a lot of people now...
