Thank you for your welcome guys. Here's my story. I resumed travelling last year after a long break (family reasons), and realised that I want to do a lot more of that! I've spent a week reading about points and took action: backdated the last 12 months of flights to the existing QFF that I forgot about, and joined Etihad to utilise my Flybuys. Plan to apply for ANZ Qantas Black, and BankWest transaction account. next step is to look at other programs, incl Velocity and the overseas ones.

My ambition is to travel overseas every year, twice, and 4-5 interstate trips.

I don't have a giant income or a generous employer, but lots of discipline, perseverance and motivation to learn, and this seems to be the right place. Any advice welcome with gratitude!!
