Thanks for looking into this - appreciate that you're all going to the effort of looking into this. The old man lost $45k to scams many years ago, and was caught up in yet another recent breach where his medicare number, D.O.B., name, mobile and address got out, so there's just too much risk...

No, the emails are being delivered, but the links do not work because the tracker is being blocked. I knew about your reply because of the email notification, but to find the reply, if I click on the link, I get a message from the browser saying site not found - that's the pstmrk.it site. I...

I just uploaded statements manually. I tried several times to use the manual upload and it kept failing when I went to submit, until I switched to a VPN connection. I did try the log in, but I never expected it to work as I have 2FA set up on my bank account, and I didn't expect it to be...

Yeah, mine was conditionally approved, subject to ID: May because yours got stuck, you didn't get that notification, but you're in a similar position? Anyway, good luck. Hopefully it's worth the effort - the 50,000 Aeroplan points seem to be worth around $1,200 AUD :) Your HSBC Star Alliance...

I've noticed that forum reply notification emails (for forum threads that you've subscribed to) now are tracking URLs - for example... https://click.pstmrk.it/3s/www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au%2Fcommunity%2Fthreads%2Fnew-trs-rules-goods-no-longer-included-in-cap.103413 The Postmark – Leave...

Yeah, I found out that I couldn't submit income docs unless I fired up a VPN. My identity was slow, but worked. Since both myself and Mrs BJReplay are retired and on the same income (not yet at super age, income distributions from a family trust distributing proceeds from selling a business)...

I missed a connection at Frankfurt. Lufthansa tickets and flights. I knew exactly where we had to go and exactly how long we had to get there - 30 minutes from notional arrival to departure due to a 12-hour delay in Singapore. I'd had the entire flight from Singapore (thanks to in-flight...

Yeah, it does. The few times I've needed more, I've paid into it early. With the $10,000 points earning limit (aside from international points), you don't need a high limit on this card, so $25,000 is the sweet spot, limit wise, but it does take forever to get there. If you're travelling (or...

Fairly regularly, they (The Coles Platinum Mastercard) used to offer 25,000 fly-buys points for 1.99% up front if you took a cash advance of $2,500 on your credit card limit (if you chose the 6 month term). You pay back the cash advance over the term (6 months) with no other charges - so 1.99%...

Same! Ditto Coles credit card (used to be issued by CitI) - almost never used, but every now and again I would buy 25,000 fly-buys points for $24.75. 28 Degrees card the same.

I requested, none offered. All dates below after opening... I tried to increase after 6 months, but was knocked back (still employed), Increased to $11,200 after 18 months (requested $15,000) (still employed), Increased to $16,800 after 30 months (requested $20,000) (no longer employed, but...

It certainly is the toughest assessment I've faced in terms of credit cards credit limits. I'm assuming you earn $130k a year, rather than $130 a year :) When I first applied (about four years ago, give or take), at the time I had no problems being offered $30,000 for other cards, Amex...

Thanks. I don't have a wealth package. I definitely have not received notification - via email, mail, or on a statement. I am unlikely to drop below the new threshold now as I could no longer justify the fees on the Amex, so this is my main card. However, I will probably drop below it at...

Very late reply to this post, but today is 25th August, and I have still had no communication from CBA for my existing Ultimate that I have had for about four years I think telling me that the spend to avoid the $35 per month fee is increasing. I guess they have up until 11:59pm tonight to...

I'm only LTS, but also LTQC back when that was something you could buy (and tax deduct and not FTB), so points for me. SCs are almost worthless for the same reason - I won't see WP or P1 again.

Yes. Attempted to grab a screen shot, but fat-fingered that. Now get a message saying that I'm ineligible for the offer.

Yeah, more than a decade ago. I declared a (roughly) $3,500 to $4,000 recommended retail Seiko Astron GPS watch (I can't recall exactly as it was that long ago) that I picked up new (uncompleted lay-by) for about $2,200 on the way out the country for a 10-day trip. I was warned on the way out...

Actually adult children travelling with husband and wife do count as a family group - and can extend it. When I (54) travelled with my wife and my parents (79, 88), and we (myself and my mum) put in two separate claims on the way out, the person at the desk said "you could have just put in one...

Declare. Pool. You'll be asked. Explain. Walk through. If you're claiming, your passport is flagged. If you don't declare, you risk getting asked. If you do declare, you are all good.

I just got my statement (for the period to 21 July) today (25th July). Still no notice in the statement, the covering email, or Netbank notices. My next statement won't arrive until the 25th of August. Very odd. I can't imagine that they're not going to raise my threshold, but they're very...
