    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    I'm in the process of booking a status run. I noticed that some of these business-class fares have mixed cabins. When I clicked status earn, it showed SYD-BNE-CNS = 135 status credits. Will I still get that if one of BNE to CNS is economy cabin - business?

    Changes to how you use your $450 Travel Credit

    I was doing a survey for AMEX Platinum Charge. I noticed they are thinking about changing the AMEX travel credit and annual fee. It looks like they want to increase the annual fee to $1,550. They also want to change travel credit from $450 to $550 which you can spend overseas. I basically filled...

    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    I just flew with Asiana from Syd to ICN. I found that if you bought a discounted ticket from Asiana, it is counted as 50% with Air Canada Aeroplan. I didn't think of this but lesson learned. My suggestion is to use your *G to get all those benefits at the check-in desk and get a boarding pass...

    IHG One Rewards Discussion

    I used to have a corporate code and everything in Diamond Elite status was given. I also get cashreward bonus too. It had gotten to the point where I bargain for free parking and they offered it. I always go with "Can I substitute my breakfast amenity for parking?". Most of the times they just...

    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    How soon after meeting the spend, did people receive communication regarding confirming they'd meet the requirement and next steps? When I met my requirement, they sent an email in a day or two. It just an email informing you that you met spending requirement and select which airline you...

    NAB Personal Loan - sign up bonus up to 110,000 QF points

    I'm guessing you didn't pay it back immediately? I paid it back as soon as it hits my account. After that, I just paid the interest and account fee.

    NAB Personal Loan - sign up bonus up to 110,000 QF points

    Hey, I already had a NAB transaction account so they didn't ask me to open a transaction account. They did ask me for the account details which I said are in my profile and they located it. I paid back $53k and I had left about $2.2k remaining (including the application $199 fee). My monthly...

    Buying Velocity points

    Hey everyone, I just received an email about point purchases. I usually churn credit cards so I think this is still quite somewhat expensive for 20,000 points. Just wanted to let you guys know and those that need urgent points to redeem a reward flight. Let's hope those INT J seats are back...

    NAB Personal Loan - sign up bonus up to 110,000 QF points

    I was already NAB's customer so it was a pretty straight forward process. It is basically a typical credit card/personal loan application. They'll ask for your income, loans, and expenses. They'll run a credit enquiry and they'll make a decision.

    AMEX Platinum Charge Benefits - Q&A

    Okay, let me explain. AMEX Platinum insurance doesn't work like that. You need to file a claim via a portal: https://www.chubbclaims.com/amex/au-en/welcome.aspx You will need to pay for everything upfront and claim those expenses via AMEX. I would put those medical expenses into AMEX. My wife...

    New IHG bonus point offer

    I can confirm that staying 3 nights and getting a 4th-night free count toward your qualifying stays. It was actually very interesting that if you book 2 rooms (1 paid and 1 via reward points), it counts as only 1 set of qualifying stays. However, I noticed that my "Milestone Reward" counted...
