Hi all!

[Funky]

Hi there
Am new to the whole frquent flyer game. Have been doing a lot of reading in the last couple weeks trying to get all the ins and outs of it all.
Started off on the Uponarriving site in the US before finding this one which is obviously more relevant to me being from the south east of SA.
Already have several cc in my life but none of them are any help to points/miles so am looking to sign up soon to some with better bonuses etc.
The minimum spend requirements look easily achievable on most sign up offers as we spend a lot on food and fuel.
I work on a large sheep/cattle property so don't have to drive anywhere to get to work but my wife is a nurse and racks up at least 500km per week.
She has done one trip to the USA but I have never flown overseas. Ive always wanted to but with busy work and life events I was beginning to think it might be too hard to get very far. This site and the others I have found have renewed my hope. Seems I could have been earning plenty of points all this time but had never looked into it!
Looking forward to learning plenty more!

Hi Funky, hope this site helps you get into the air and overseas.

Welcomr to AFF Funky, I hope you get to travel overseas soon.
Perhaps we all should have started earning points earlier but it's never too late.

What about a "Business Trip" across the ditch, see how things are done there

Welcome aboard Funky, if you decide to sign up to a direct American Express card I recommend you have a look at the referral pages - you get some extra points as does the AFF member you choose to use.

There are many good options at the moment listed in the current offer threads as well - some require a waiting period before you are eligible for the bonus points, so if you are looking at a product with an institution you already have a card with, its best to check any restrictions before choosing them.

Thanks, Steady. Yep I have looked at those pages and intend to use one of the referrals.
