    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    HSBC DP: Australian streaming sites should trigger the $5 USD HSBC Premier monthly streaming credit. With Kayo promos (e.g. $15 AUD for 6 months) - comes to about $7.50 AUD after all the discounts. Ozbargain :P

    Credit Card Offers Qantas Premier Platinum Offers & Discussion

    60k bonus points for this card doesnt seem to post as quick as before... I think the wording changed a bit. It is 2 months max after hitting the required spend now. Before it seemed to be the next statement after hitting the require spend. So I will have to see what the next statement brings.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Okay, looks like the Hyatt/Chase tie up is quite good, probably the best value under the UR program with the 1:1 transfer ratio. I guess people usually start with the Hyatt credit card and then move on to the Personal/Business cards with UR SUBs, especially the 100k CSP offer that usually...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    The PDF form was like the typical credit card application so it is not very long. Residential and mailing address Employment, income Non-US mortgage repayments and credit balances Few days later they asked for verification of employment. Approved after 2 days. Changed the mailing address of...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Basically a US bank statement showing the same address that was on the application. HSBC Premier AU to US is the easiest method at the moment if you arent in the US anytime soon - set the mailing address to the same one on the GT application.

    Earn up to 110 Qantas Status Credits on the ground

    Unluckily the Red Energy Bonus posted before this promotion started and probably no referral for me so that leaves me one with one category for me. OTOH the health Insurance bonus got posted at the right time. This was for 6 months of being a Qantas Health Insurance member. Thats all for this...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Decided to apply for the US HSBC Premier. International Premier members needed to apply by phone. Similar to other DPs, they sent me a PDF form and I filled it out. Once done, we send the form to someone in HSBC and then they come back and asked for a Proof of Employment, which was easy...

    Club Jetstar Extras announced: Qantas Frequent Flyer Extra

    Okay, made more clear now so even with the Starter fare you can earn 10 SC per SYD-MEL/SYD-BNE/SYD-OOL return flight (5 SCs for each leg). So looking out for the sale starter fares (which can be $58 SYD-OOL one way) and ignoring the upfront cost, that can be $3/SC. With Flex Plus, this is...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Based on earlier posts, looks like the HSBC 3 way call method to get the address verification done with Amex no longer works and it hasn't been a thing for a while so awaiting the monthly statement.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Correct, that is what will happen. 9k deposit in and out is the best way to go.

    Major Hilton tier changes coming - new Diamond Reserve tier, others downgraded

    Perhaps it could be a room that provides Premium Club access and as a Diamond you can get upgraded to that room, perhaps on a quieter day. Similar to how you can get upgraded as a Gold to an Executive room at the moment and you get lounge access.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Okay, got HSBC Premier now and in the online application for the US checking account I am trying to put in the mailing address, which is the myUS one. The suite number exceeds 6 characters (number is in the xx_X-xx_) format. Bit of a roadblock... Trying to circumvent this.... do I just call up...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I think Frequent Miler would have the record of the highest bonus for each card - eg. 5 free nights for both the Bonvoy Boundless, Bonvoy Business etc. Indeed the highest is 100k for the CSP.

    Has to be through the Qantas clickthrough so it is the usual $19 per month.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Also noting that the HSBC 9k in or out is by calendar month, so if you are doing the deposits weekly then make sure it adds up to 9k by the end of the month. Another lesson learned. Ah well. But, it sounds like you can fast track the Premier process by doing it in a branch as an existing...

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    The Red Energy Greenpower is one of the new ways to get a new leaf, which is okay for me so far. Got 4 leaves with relative ease so it will keep me interested in the Green Tier SCs. I will revisit that feature after a year or so of seeing the costs.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Back in PUJ or ineligible for all the Amex Hotel cards now and just started the HSBC Premier journey (not qualified yet but got the money in and money out working) so can't apply for the Chase Boundless yet. Which is why I was thinking about the Hilton or Marriott Amex Biz card but they might...

    Looks like a lot of us QFFers took either Binge or Kayo for a ride - by far easier than the Hoyts one which would have been really hard. Hubbl is saying no more...
