I'd see if there are classic rewards out of SE Asian cities, then book a cash positioning fare if necessary. For example, there may be CR availability from BKK to LHR on Finnair or Oman. Book a classic reward, and then get a cash fare from MEL to BKK. (EDIT Or if there is CR award availability...

And once you get to platinum, that lock is removed and it says ‘only in the Asia-Pacific except Georgia and Kazakhstan’.

That's probably why as a SG I can book rows 8 and 9 as usual despite the media bumf indicating that Economy Plus would only be available at check-in. FWIW, looking at aeroLOPA, row 8DEF on the 738 still has a window so that's what I've booked on a PER-MEL flight in June with my dad and his...

It seems they've got a touch of the Woolies at the same time EDR has recovered from it...

I reckon the 350 (or the 420 on Coward St if heading to T1) is likely to be cheaper, easier and more reliable than the shuttle. Timetable 350 timetable 420 timetable

There's a lengthy thread on here about Qantas IT gripes. You might need to call up to book. They should waive the booking fee given the website's falling over.

Well, NAB has just come to the party with an approval for a Qantas Signature card. Will hang onto it for at least a year though.

Sorry, but what's your theory about that? (I bought a $250 gift card and stored it in the EDR wallet this morning, and still had some left over from my previous purchase in November so am curious.) Mind you, I haven't shopped at Woolies since early December.

8000 points for 4x$65 spends. In for that one. 450 points for $15 in freezer spending.

Welcome to AFF and thanks for posting!

I think I must still be on Amex's naughty list. Applied for the Qantas Ultimate card earlier this arvo and got the '5-10 day' email with no other requests for information. Ah well, next year... No hard enquiries on file since late 2024, but did have a fair bit of Citi activity last year...

Last recycling pickup was this morning and the 'activity completed' has posted in the app. Now to wait for the final leaf to appear.

I got an email reminding me to complete week two a couple of hours ago.

As an aside, instore receipts are available on Coles Online too under 'Instore Purchases'. Fortunately no glitches re the date on the receipt (either printed or online) but no sign of the week two offer on the app.

I have week 2 of a 2x$60 spend at Flybuys for 2000 points while Woolworths has offered... nothing at all this week. For me then, the Flybuys offering is infinitely better...

They tend to drop their prices a bit closer in (the cheap fares are currently available to the end of June).

The T&Cs for the promo say the base points will post up to 8 weeks after the end of the promo on 31 January (so still within the period to claim the SCs).

CX, while having okay market share, is not a big enough player to sustain its own card in the Australian market IMO. To add to what @levelnine has said, the best you could hope for is for AsiaMiles to remain a transfer partner (which currently they are for several banks' non-Qantas cards).

Even on MEL-SYD and vv, the fee is considerably higher. $80 vs $57 (slightly above the difference in the article linked to above).
