    Charged a cash advance fee for a gift card purchase

    It is not a mistake in their opinion. From the chat: On this particular card, this fee is charged when you withdraw or transfer cash from your credit card. It’s also charged for cash equivalent transactions such as gambling, money transfers, buying lottery tickets or gift cards I checked the...

    Charged a cash advance fee for a gift card purchase

    They refunded the fee and interest, as a once off gesture of goodwill of course. I'd always used Amex via PayPal previously, so back to that way I suppose. I don't see why using PayPal would change things as presumably WOWGIFTCARD would still come up on the statement either way.

    Charged a cash advance fee for a gift card purchase

    There is an old now closed thread cash advance fee gift card which concluded that the source (Finder) didn't know what it was talking about. Well it has happened to me with Commbank. The transaction shows as "PAYPAL * WOWGIFTCARD" and they confirmed that is why I was charged a $4 fee, plus...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    I did that a few years ago at MEL going to ADL on a Saturday for one night. I realised a few hours later, called up and the Supervisor met me after my return flight. Very impressed.

    You can't use them in a LATAM lounge regardless.

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    Double points for something I am already doing, although they will turn the $10 redemption prompt at the checkout back on in December. Which I will promptly turn off again.

    Free upgrade to Economy X (I stole someone's seat)

    I must admit I find it very annoying when people do this, knowing of course that some here do, but I only ever look at it from the point of view of free seat selection as I typically fly QF. If the couple paid for seat selection they kind of have a point. You should get what you paid for or get...

    Coles gift card offers

    It's about looking after all their customers, not just a lucky few. It's similar to limiting egg or toilet paper purchases. You don't want the majority of your customers to be disgruntled due to the actions of just a few.

    Bonuses for transferring Flybuys points to Velocity

    So any tips for the best transfer offer to hold out for? I started a new Flybuys account a few months ago. The first month there was a 15% bonus for the first transfer to Velocity, but that was next to nothing at the time. I now have 50000 Flybuy points. The current offer is 500 bonus Velocity...

    Can’t link a lounge pass

    It does say "includung" so it's not necessarily an exhaustive list.

    Coles gift card offers

    I don't even get base points overnight. It usually takes 2 days. (I suppose the base points may have posted but they don't show up on the transaction history.) As for the 5 card limit, it was enforced on me, but it was a pleasant surprise to find some $100 cards at my local Coles as this never...

    Feedback on the AFF website & brand refresh

    The light blue text on a purple background for the reply is very hard to read. I doubt it is WCAG compliant.

    Taken A QF lounge pass expires 04 Aug

    Disclaimer that I recently received two, so someone else might like this, but Mrs Rich could use this pass on the 2nd. She felt had to give one of the other two to her boss on the outward leg!

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    I wonder if you can start a new Rewards account and get some decent bonus offers or the gift cards someone suggested upthread. It might be worth trying rather than transferring all your Rewards points over this Qantas year. I am not sure how you'd go with another account in the same name and...

    Thanks anyway, but I received 2 from another member, also expiring on the 1st. She is all sorted for next week travelling 30th to 1st. Hopefully someone else has a trip coming up very soon too.
