    Payment Logic sent an update about their reduced rates today. 1.99-2.15% (ex. GST) on payments up to $499k. Even less if you want to pay $2m (I dont know anyone that can pay $2m on their charge card, not even Centurion holders)

    RewardPay Alternatives

    Correct. With the right card combo, knowing how to redeem points and the fee they currently charge it makes a good proposition. My "cost per point" post 15 April is going to halve, with the devaluation across a few airlines, and amex already saying they are charging less fees, these platforms...

    Post 15 April Strategy (or why i'll probably move to Plat card)

    Dragon visa? Do you mean St George Bank? I was thinking about this one as well, the earn rate if you don't spend much in the bonus categories is not bad, but I think if i'll go for a Visa earning card i'll probably go for the Citi card - the benefits justify the higher price compared to the St...

    Post 15 April Strategy (or why i'll probably move to Plat card)

    Background I currently have the Plat Edge linked to Explorer combo. I won't get into what a point is worth, but if you use RP and the other platforms using the above combo we are looking at circa 1.3c per point (including GST etc). This will be hard to match but i've done some research and...

    A tale of two children (in J)

    There's an easy solution to the "kids in business class" problem. Charge parents more for the child - something like double or triple, if the kids behave refund the difference to the parents, if they don't pass the money to passengers that were impacted by the bad behaviour. Win / win for everyone
