    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    It was approved instantly on the website, to my surprise. I received a text message but no emails. I did receive an email to say I successfully activated the card.

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    The FX markets are waiting to see what Trump does once he starts. If he brings in some tariffs right away, expect more USD strength and pain for everyone else. If he indicates he will go slow and targeted (as he has been suggesting lately), the AUD should pop a little. If he walks his threats...

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    I took up one of those 275k referral offers. I was amazed at how quickly I was approved, and the card arrived. I have received no correspondence via email at all, which I find odd. Anyway, does anyone know how long it takes for offers to be available to save to card such as the Amazon one? The...

    Wi-Fi Cost Sydney to LAX

    Agree, I would happily pay $35 if it would work for 80% of the flight. The Singapore Airlines flight from NY to Singapore worked around 80% of the flight.

    Hilton (brand) returning to MEL

    Finally got to stay here and while the upgraded premium room was relatively small, I thought it was an excellent hotel. Service was wonderfully friendly. It was also the best Hilton continental breakfast in recent memory. Lounge wasn't crowded, although it was a Sunday.

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    Commodities are soaring because of the Ukraine and sanctions on Russia. Gold and oil are going up even though the USD is also strengthening which is not normal. I suspect any type of agreement or ceasefire (yes, it seems unlikely) would hit AUD/USD rather swiftly.

    BP Plus + Qantas Business Rewards (Earn up to 100,000 Qantas points)

    This has been by far and away, the worst points earning experience I have ever had. Twice now, I have been double charged when paying the bill and trying to get the payment credited to my account by BP has been futile due to appalling customer service. The first time it happened, I had to do a...

    BP Plus + Qantas Business Rewards (Earn up to 100,000 Qantas points)

    How did you go with this? I just couldn't make the $150 happen. Our second car hasn't moved in 6 weeks. I even advertised on Facebook to pat for someone's tank with a $5 discount but no bites.
