| The Australian Departure Tax |
| Did you know that Aussies are slugged as much as $128.62 in Australian departure taxes and airport fees every time they fly overseas? Whenever you purchase an international flight, your ticket will include a range of taxes that are paid directly to governments and airports. These are payable on both revenue and award bookings, and are charged on top of the airfare and more... |

| Day or Night Flight in Business Class? |
| When flying Business class, is a day or night flight preferable? Business class flights command a significant price premium over Economy.

Upcoming Webinar:
Supercharge Your Points at the Supermarket |
| |
 |
|
Think supermarket loyalty programs like Flybuys and Woolworths Rewards aren't worth it? Think again!
It's easier than you might expect to earn tens of thousands of points at the supermarket without spending a fortune on groceries! The trick is to take advantage of targeted bonus offers. But the number and quality of the offers you receive will depend on how well you game the system. Do it right and you could earn 50x more points at the checkout!!
At first glance, earning 1 Flybuys point for every $1 spent at Coles is not a great deal. But why spend $2,000 to earn 2,000 points, when you can spend just $200 and earn over 10,000 Flybuys points?
Our upcoming webinar on 18 June will show you how anyone - including you - can supercharge the points they earn at the supermarket. As well as how to game the Flybuys and Woolworths Rewards loyalty programs, we'll show you how to maximise your credit card points on everyday purchases. You could be missing out on tens of thousands of points!
