Just a heads up that Emirates Skywards is being removed as a transfer option from Citi Rewards as of 31 Jan 2023. Not sure if this applies to all levels of Citi Rewards as I only have the basic Rewards card (not Premier or Prestige). Options remaining are KrisFlyer, Flybuys and Velocity (only...

Randomly stumbled across this offer while browsing the CommBank Awards website, but act fast, it ends "23:59pm AEST on 17 November". Apparently, it started in October, but given how hidden the CBA Awards website is, it seems nobody here has seen it, haha. Transfer points to the following...

Has anyone here paid to renew their Qantas Club membership while they were already Gold - and did it create any havoc with your membership or status? As a quick bit of background - I was a QC member on a four-year membership, but qualified for Gold about half way through that, so still have...

Seems the ANZ Rewards website will be down for two weeks in August, during which time you won't even be able to redeem ANZ points over the phone. All auto-redemptions will be cancelled too, and the Bonus Points Mall (where you can earn extra points by clicking through ANZ when you shop) will...

How are people finding tap and pay (contactless) with Diners? Have one of the newer chip/tap cards and so far am finding it working fine at Coles and Woolies, so am curious how widespread it works. I remember when AMEX first started rolling out chips and contactless in Australia, and in the...

Curious if anyone here has experience flying with NZ across the Tasman, on an economy flight booked using *A miles? I can see that 1 checked bag is included on the ticket, which means it's not treated like a basic 'Seat' fare, but curious if inflight food is included too? (It's unclear from...

Hi all, Was approved for the AMEX Plat Charge this past week, and just wondering how long the partner benefits like Priority Pass membership and hotel elite statuses (e.g. Hilton Gold) take to activate? It's my understanding that you have to request these benefits through the AMEX website, and...

Hi all, I know that the AMEX Plat Charge card provides access to VA domestic lounges, but the T&Cs seem to imply that the perk is only for the primary cardholder (not a supplementary cardholder flying by themselves). Have any Plat Charge supplementary cardholders on here had any luck accessing...

Don't just sit idle and let the big banks cut your frequent flyer points: get your hands on a new American Express Velocity Platinum Card instead and keep your Velocity points flowing in! It all starts with a nice bonus of 60,000 Virgin Australia Velocity points when you apply from August 2017...

I'd be interested to hear of any experiences fellow members have had with the Thai ROP program, specifically, with converting points from credit cards and using them to book flights. (I'm not too concerned with upgrading or earning Thai points from other sources - am more considering Thai as an...

AMEX has updated its Explorer Card referral sign-on bonus as of today: now when you apply for a new Explorer card by September 20 2017, you can earn 100,000 bonus Membership Rewards Gateway points after spending at least $1,500 on the card within the first three months! I applied for this card...

Hi all, Is there an 'official' way to give your personal assistant access to your QFF account to make frequent flyer bookings on your behalf? Obviously, for bookings that can be made online you could simply give them your login details: but for telephone-only reward bookings, is there a way...

Has anybody successfully been able to transfer a Westpac credit card over to a St. George (or Bank of Melbourne or Bank SA) credit card, which Westpac also 'owns'? (As in, a product swap rather than applying like a new customer?) Trying to find ways to keep my Westpac card alive post-RBA and...

Has anybody managed to switch from another Westpac card over to the Singapore Airlines Platinum cards since they were closed off for general application? Currently have Earth Black (also not available to new customers) but am leaning much more towards earning SQ miles these days than QF...

AMEX has updated its Explorer Card sign-on bonus as of today: now when you apply for a new Explorer card, you can earn 60,000 bonus Membership Rewards Gateway points after spending at least $1,500 on the card within the first three months. I applied for this card recently using a referral link...

Don't just sit idle and let the big banks cut your frequent flyer points on July 1: get your hands on a new American Express Velocity Platinum Card instead and keep your Velocity points flowing in! It all starts with a whopping bonus of 100,000 Virgin Australia Velocity points when you apply by...

If you've been jarred by the credit card changes announced by the Big Four banks this week, take a look at the Qantas American Express Premium Card! With no limit to the number of points you can earn, you'll pick up 2.25 Qantas Points per dollar spent direct with Qantas, such as when booking...

Have an American Express credit card with CBA, NAB or Westpac? Chances are you'll start earning fewer points per dollar spent from July under a barrage of changes announced by the banks this week - so why not keep your points flowing in with a new Qantas American Express Ultimate Card? This...

Good news - HSBC Australia now supports Apple Pay. Added my Qantas card today with no problems and also used it without issue. You get transaction alerts just like with AMEX Apple Pay, but am yet to see if that's only for Apple Pay purchases or all transactions (don't use the card much - only...

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what kind of lending criteria AMEX places on applications for the Platinum Charge Card (other than minimum income and clean credit file), and would your existing AMEX credit limits affect your outcome? (E.g., even though there's technically no 'credit limit'...
