    ANZ makes it harder to access sign-up bonus points

    Hi @Preston, I'm in a similar situation - my card was approved on 10th April and in my latest statement (which ticked me over the required spend) - no bonus points. The online chat told me that I need to wait three months after which they can assess my request (as "it generally takes up to 3...

    Adding 2 passports in APIS? Dual AU/US citizen flying EU->USA->Australia

    Sorry - missed this question Short answer is no. Last couple of trips to Saudi (where my visa in in my UK passport) I've put my UK passport into APIS.

    KUL transit on separate tickets

    Thanks for the replies. I've had a read of a thread on Flyertalk and it seems like the official policy of MH should mean that they will through check the bags...

    Hi all, I'm looking at booking a PER-KUL-LHR trip as two separate bookings. first a revenue PER-KUL on MH and then KUL-LHR as a QF Classic Reward on MH metal. If this was on one booking I'd get the MH 126 departing PER at 02:20, Arr KUL at 07:55 to connect with MH4 at 09:25. Given it'll be two...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Your experience (and the previous posters) is similar to mine - apart from the QR/EK upgrades. I remember a time, possibly when the alliance with EK was in it's infancy, when EK used to upgrade me J to F on probably 3 out of 4 flights. Haven't have that happen for at least 5 years now. I take...

    Qantas Cabin Baggage Survey Results Email

    Isn't the whole problem that there isn't enough space in the overhead lockers for everyone to be allocated a space allowance that's equivalent to their carry on allowance

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    I called 0300 200 3500 (I was in the UK at the time - not sure if that makes any difference). I was on hold for about 20 min.

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    This is my understanding as well based on the discussion I had when I called them - they count complete years only

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    I paid on the 17th Oct last year. Nothing appeared on my account and I called them last week to check they'd actually received the money. Person I spoke to said they could see it in my account and then offered to do the allocation straight away. This was then reflected in my account (and updated...

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    Hi all, I've now paid my Class 2 contributions and they've been allocated to my account correctly. The next question is - how do you go about getting approval to continue paying at the class 2 rate for subsequent years?

    Adding 2 passports in APIS? Dual AU/US citizen flying EU->USA->Australia

    What's the process for getting your passports linked? I asked at check in recently and was met with blank looks (and similarly asked Border Force when I went through the smart gates and got blank looks). I constantly run into issues on arrival at destinations where I have visa's in my UK...

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    Can you specify which years you want to pay for? My understanding is that you pay a lump sum into the HMRC bank account and then they allocate it - but I can't see anything that tells me how they do this (ie will they allocate to Class 2 years first or Class 3)? My wife is in a similar situation...

    Cash or Card? Countries where you still need cash.

    Thanks - I was more thinking about whether I will actually need cash, rather than how much it will cost in fees to get that cash
