G'Day From WA

[LR09WA]

Hi Everybody,

Great forum you guys have here!

Been lurking around for the last month, thought I would say Hi and tell you about my FF plans.

So first I will start with my story.

About two months ago I finally signed up for QFF after flying around WA for 7 years, some 350+ flights I've missed out on points (crazy I know) and in the new year I will be changing jobs, which will see me fly from Perth-Bris-Cairns-PNG-Cairns-Syd-Perth once every month, so I'm now trying to slowly claw as many points back as possible!

This is what I've done to slowly boost my points (any constructive feed back welcome), I cancelled my old non QFF credit cards in exchange for

- Amex QFF Discovery (Cheap card no annual) hope to build up to platinum then ditch the Diners!
- Woolworths QFF EDR (I think a good companion card to the Amex)
- Diners Club QFF (good lounge access for when on holidays)

I suppose I could describe my self as a low to middle end credit user only putting about 3-5k on the cards, I'm lucky enough not to have to pay for my flights so really I only put day to day purchases and the yearly holiday on the cards.

Next Jan the girlfriend and I will be getting married over seas, which will see us put a few substantial amounts (substantial for us anyway) thru the cards which should boost a few points.

So if anyone has any pointers where they can see me going wrong please feel free to comment.. I'm now a self confessed FF pointaholic!!

Merry Xmass

Regards

Mika

Hello Mika,
Welcome to AFF.
If you do a number of posts you become entitled to send Private Messages which is a nice feature of AFF.
Your choice of the Woolworths card and the fee free Amex are both good and are the same as for one of my sons.
Once you get the status credits running you should enjoy the lounges.

When upgrading your Amex, make sure you cancel existing card. And apply for the next card fresh. This way you'll be eligible for the sign up bonus points.

Welcome aboard Mika,

When you go to PNG, who pays for the hotel, dinner, etc.? This is where you can tally up some usefull points, especially if you do the booking & pay yourself, and then claim reimbursement.
