Oh, it was in foreign currency amounts?

Yes unfortunately it was -GBP and Euro. Plus a bit in AUD as well.

So I finally had my qff membership card blocked and decided to go with Qantas pay.
What a terrible card this is….After receiving the new card (and activating it) we went out to dinner at an ALH property and “card not excepted” then tried to buy some wine from Dan Murphy and also “card not excepted” called the call centre and nothing wrong with the card, so tried Woolies and all sweet, went back to Dan Murphy today and still comes up with “card not accepted” . Considering these are all owned by the same company my only thought is there must be some sort of 18+ block on it? Has anyone else had a problem with this?

I don't know the answer, but ALH and Dan Murphys are owned by Endeavour which was spun out of Woolworths a few years ago. Maybe an issue on the Endeavour side.

I'm ready to ditch my QP card too. Should have done it years ago.

I would like to replace it with a fee free (for overseas transactions) debit/visa debit card that doesn't get complicated with minimum amounts deposited in order to be fee free. Looks like Macquarie Bank Transaction Card is the way to go.

Does anyone advocate for something better?

I have just applied for the BankWest Qantas one, however this one does have the condition to deposit $2000 pm. Mrs Radio is on UBank good for savings and international fee free

QF ditched the card for me by closing it down on 30 June 2024 and I’m away for months so no interest in re-applying for Qantas Pay

Princely sum of 22 cents remains (never to be spent).

Soon you’ll see it in the Australian museum - forever 22

Just a quick update on this, I did apply for the BankWest account, but “possibly” due to my past 1c activities I was declined for it. So still on Qantas pay for now. Looking at possibly going to virgin money everyday go account, any thoughts or negative experiences with this one?
