    Just in case anyone stumbles upon this thread searching for a spare ticket ... I have found someone to take mine off my hands but I can't edit my previous post.

    [-]Bump ... things are getting close and a bit desperate, to the point where I will entertain sensible offers. Please PM me if you are interested.[/-] Edit: Ticket has now found a new home.

    Boarding soon, Retro Roo. Destination, Longreach!

    [-]This post has been approved by admin. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I can no longer attend this event. I have spoken to Red Roo who has kindly organised to have the normal $88 name change fee waived so if anyone would like to take my seat I can transfer it to you for exactly what I...

    RSA MEL F Lounge Qantas Official Response (Refused Drinks)

    I can confirm that this has happened previously in the SYD F Lounge to a table of 4 of us. Short pours, incredibly long times between refills and then a mysterious tray of coffees that when we pointed out we didn't order "perhaps you should have them anyway". I kid you not.

    Macquarie Bank takes over from HSBC

    Actually I just checked my account and I had the "we have sent you a new card" message. So I guess I will wait for the card to arrive and then await the 5K points offer before cancelling. Luckily I am not up for another annual fee until October ;)

    Macquarie Bank takes over from HSBC

    I haven't got a new card, nor is there any indication on my account or statements that I am getting one. I am ready to cancel my account, wonder if I should wait??

    Macquarie Bank takes over from HSBC

    Re: The party is over Received my fee free for life Citibank Signature card on Monday. Goodbye WoW card, it was fun while it lasted. Can't wait to ring and cancel later today, wonder if they will tell me about all the "exciting changes that are coming to the card for our frequent flyers" like...

    Macquarie Bank takes over from HSBC

    It does. I'm hoping someone can confirm that it's $49 per account and not per card (with supplementary cards)? $49 a year is pretty good value considering the uncapped points, free wine at dinner and free priority pass membership :)

    Macquarie Bank takes over from HSBC

    What a complete joke. I rang them when the fee hike was announced and was told they don't do fee reductions or waivers (I put $8-10K a month through my card). I was also told that "the fee increase was necessary to cover the range of extra features that would shortly be announced that would...

    Indian WINDOWS call centre ... Be careful

    I've been getting a few of these, I probably shouldn't have told them to f'off and hung up because now they are ringing every single night :( I did have fun with one a year or so ago, stringing him along with "windows explorer, how do I open that?" and "what's the windows key look like" etc etc...

    Bank with Qantas Credit Union and Earn points

    Sorry, I meant to say work in the aviation industry. I've contacted them to see if my 10 years working in support of the RAAF fleet qualifies :)

    Bank with Qantas Credit Union and Earn points

    So ... got the email this morning about the 60K bonus points and after realising that if I switch my mortgage and savings to QCU I not only pay less interest but will also earn points I started looking into switching. However, I read that you need to be a QF employee to be a member and use...

    Heads up about program changes

    I'm about to turn ~500K points into woolies gift cards ... QF don't care about my loyalty so it looks as though my big family trip to the US next year will probably be on air new zealand or whoever happens to have the cheapest airfare at the time the flights become available ... and I'll save a...
