Thanks for this maverick1. Very helpful. If I open a IBKR account can I buy usd and then pay my us amex card from that account? I noticed the Wise fees are creeping up.

Another question regarding Tello & Textnow. Just wondering, textnow is free. Does that mean that you get a lot of adverts coming through to your phone if you use their service? That could get annoying...

Thanks DC3. Still getting to some of those posts. Going to blitz it this week with the reading.

Am doing my due diligence on whether to apply for Global Transfer as I have amex plat currently. Thanks to all that have posted on this thread. Very helpful, although I have skipped the posts on cards going missing to myus and also on trying to get an ITIN. I have relations in the US so have an...

Does anyone know if the 3x MR earn on travel with the Us Amex green card includes airfares booked on air nz and qantas?

Hi just wondering if you applied for the US amex via global transfer yet. I’m in the same situation as you. I’ve had an nz Amex for several years now. Just trying to crunch the numbers whether this is worthwhile with the Amex fx rates and fees, MR transfer rate to amex using nzd:usd rate, and...

Just seeking clarification on getting a us amex card. What is the GT method and just wondering do you need a US SSN for this process? Also can you current balance of MR be transferred over?

Sorry I misunderstood that Jq Flights are included in the qf DSc promo as there was a link to this article in the Aff DSC article. https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/qantas-status-runs/ however I realised that Jq metal is not included as Brandan Loo states in his article that JQ flights...

In the FAQ on the email confirmation for DSc registration it states under which flights are eligible ‘Double Qantas Points or double Status Credits will not be earned on some fare types and booking classes. See Airline Earning Table for details.’ I assume if a booking for business saver fare...

Thanks for this. Those Aff DSC articles need to be udated as they state that you can book jetstar max bundles during the DSc promo and they will count. So if the booking is a combined QF,JQ booking, like AKL-OOL-SYD then only the QF flights are attracting the DSC. i read somewhere that I can...

new to dsc and have a couple of questions - the article on pointhacks says Jetstar flights are ineligible for the double status credits. This is incorrect isn’t it? It’s qf or jq metal as per the Aff articles. Also if I got to 450 status credits using flights booked during the dsc promo, does...

Does anyone know if you can credit Latam bookings to QFF? I’m looking at akl-syd-bne-syd-akl. It’s a mixture of Latam and Jq flights. Also can someone tell me once you quality for qf status,how long does that last for. Is it the year of qualification plus the next year? TIA

So how do you do that when domiciled in Australia or NZ? That thread you refer to is one of the longest and most inconclusive threads on this site. If you would care to summarise it for us here that would be helpful.

You should have a look into the avios route with BA and QR. You can get from Oz/NZ-EUR on QR J for 90k, it stops over in DOH. You can also transfer Amex MR over to QR 2:1, at least with the AU amex MR cards. Unfortunately NZ amex is 3:1😕. Matt's Planet Youtube channel has some helpful...

They have some good award space but you have to have definite plans. I just had to cancel three flights due to adult kids not being able to travel. And it cost $450 Cad 😵. Also last year I was trying to get through to their call centre and I was trying for days. On a par with air nz call centre...

Mine says 85%. I didn’t even know the offer was on. I struggle to use my Aeroplan miles due to their expensive change and cancellation fees.

Has anyone noticed that seats.aero frequently can’t access the Aeroplan award space lately and it has a notice saying to search united or sasbonus for availability. That would be a shame if air Canada is blocking seats.aero from searching award availability for Aeroplan.

Thanks for that. I'm thinking about just going with the basic PP membership where you pay $99 a year and $35USD a visit. I was trying to think how many times I'd used it over the last few years and couldn't think of too many times, as either the lounges had queues or were too far away from my...

Thanks I was told that I had to initiate the cancellation first before they would put me through to that team. The operator said the retention offer would only appear after the cancellation had been actioned.

Can someone actually confirm that they’ve cancelled their charge card over the phone then been able to transfer the MR to Marriott within the 30 days after the card cancellation. Just want to tie up all loose ends before I pull the pin.
