ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

[scheps]

is Altitude black still a go? because I just noticed a line in the breakdown (in statements) stating
"ADDED FEES, GOVERNMENT AND INTEREST CHARGES'

I have yet to put through for BAS but wondering if that will not earn.

Thanks for clarifying!

Ok in January scheps. I used 3 different Westpac cards plus a smaller amount on Woolies EDRCC. Altitude Black gets those Lovely J rides across Australia on Virgin and pointy end flights on SQ.

nice, thanks for the info and confidence to work the card

I saw the time of your post. I hope you weren't up worrying about the $20 billion that a few others have missed paying the ATO.

 

[scheps]

oh haha, i am no early bird, i am in california.

What happened to $20 billion dollars?

The ATO has about $20 billion outstanding in debts.I guess those people don't know about FF points.
We are heading for Los Angeles on Saturday.
Brisbane was warm and dry yesterday.

 

[scheps]

oh right, that's probably enough points for a return trip to Neptune and back for 2 in F.
Weather is nice right now, not so cold anymore. Heading into a drought though.

Cove, I have found the points conversion on altitude black, to flights, to be pretty appalling. Or is it that the $ you are paying the ATO to be similarly appalling?

Don't like SQ Suites?

 

[scheps]

Oh while you mention suites, it is not possible to book bne- say LHR in suites? because of the 333.

You can indeed book mixed class redemption J and F - call the KF call centre and they will accommodate you.

That would be without 15% online discount?
Sigh...one day.

No not necessarily - call and ask - all KF call centre staff understand that a mixed class redemption cannot be done online - they will possibly / probably honour the 15% disc - I have MEL-SIN in F and SIN-TPE in J redemption for Mar booked with call centre and they honoured the 15% disc - I cannot guarantee it but you should be ok.

FWIW I have never had a negative response to a request for the 15% disc for any booking that cannot be completed online.

 

[scheps]

Thanks mate. That's good to know. Would be nice if they just let us do it online. I imagine just look up as if two separate legs first for availability then call quickly ?

And I guess just have to ask them how many points as no way to work out exactly.

YES and YES

Holidays are over - back to regaining those points I burnt upgrading the four of us into F for our flight to LAX. Cheers ATO

Is that new that you can't do it online? The only KF redemption I've done was J-saver PER-SIN, F-saver SIN-FRA which I had no problems doing online?

Excuse the ignorance, but "KF call centre"?

That would be the Singapore Airlines Kris Flyer phone number. They are helpful.
