Hi everyone,

I recently got an Amex and 100,000 bonus points and since then Ive become hooked on flybuys / wollies rewards. My aim is to be able to take the wife and two kids (aged 3 and 9 months) away to Europe next year for 6 weeks - and pay for as little of the flight as possible.

Im in the process of opening the Bankwest debit account as well.

cheers
Phil

Welcome to AFF. Which 100k? Ascent or Gateway?

Welcome aboard philthy79, have a read about amex points - there is some value to be had by holding both an edge and explorer and linking the rewards - it can take some effort/persistence but IMO worth it.

cheers everyone for your quick replies and welcomes.

The Amex points are with Gateway (0.75 points to transfer)

Thanks Steady - i have heard of the edge & explorer link. We're looking at houses at the moment so I will probably wait a littel while before i look at getting another card. Im getting the Mrs to join up for a QFF linked card soon as well. She'll also apply for an Amex when their points go back up to the 100/50 for sign-up/refer a friend.
