    'The bank that issued your card should have a process in place to deal with refunds to closed cards.' So should airlines yet they tend to treat it as something completely unforeseeable and not their problem. They should have a documented, easily-accessible process in place..

    New Amex statement credits

    Many of these sell GCs which presents a bit of a dilemma. Are the Porters, Cellarbrations, etc part of big corporations or are they really little independents? Who is funding the Amex credits?

    Overseas Medical Reciprocity

    These reciprocal agreements are a bit of a minefield. I have a UK NI number and a UK passport as well as a Medicare card and Australian passport. I remember being told by admin clerk at a UK public hospital that I was only covered for their definition of 'emergency' care under the reciprocal...

    Just spent a month in Portugal and Spain. No fee at Portugal bank ATMs - just be sure to avoid the Euronet ATMs. In Spain fees are high but there are occasional ING branches with ATMs that were fee-free using my ING card. Generally cards accepted in most places except some museums...

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    Australian Citizenship interview

    That is not my experience in Sydney. Up until this year I had a casual job working for the AEC at citizenship ceremonies on Sydney's north shore and many times council staff told me that they had moved people forward or pushed them back upon request.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I agree and will be imposing my own travel ban to the US from Jan 2025 for 4 years following my previous self-imposed 4 year ban from 2017. Fortunately the world is a big place and there are plenty of other countries to visit.
