    Baggage question for QF marketed flights

    Hi, Just booked a flight MEL-LAX-YYZ ; YYZ-ORD-LAX-MEL. All flights are QF# with LAX-YYZ on Westjet and YYZ-ORD-LAX on two seperate AA operated flights. Does my QFF Silver count for any additional baggage and if so, is it only on the QF operated legs? Thanks

    ANZ home loan offer - 300,000 bonus Qantas points until 19/8/22

    Sorry to dig up an old(ish) thread...I took them up on this offer and the points have now finally dropped after I chased up the broker three times. Does anyone know if leaving will cause any issues? I churned to this for the points and there are much better offers out there with lower rates...

    Is reserve card still offered as companion card for Platinum Charge card?

    Hi, Been sitting on the sidelines for the last two years (thanks Covid!) and am now starting back up. Just noticed I can get (and give) 300K Amex MR referrals. But I was wondering, if someone signs up, does Amex still do the $450 credit for the Platinum charge plus the $400 credit for the...

    Amex credit for refundable hotels

    Hi, Just looking to burn a couple of credits we have prior to cancelling our cards and I was wondering - if they were used for a refundable hotel could you subsequently cancel them through the hotel directly (i.e. not through Amex travel)? Would this come through as a refund or would you...

    Booking a refundable room to extend points

    I've got 44K points in Le Club (I hate the new name) which expire next month. While I might be able to book and stay in a room locally, if Covid-19 complete lockdown doesn't prevent it I was wondering if booking a room in the future and cancelling at a later date would extend the points? Say...

    Credit cards, mortgages & offsets

    Yeah, hoping to not do that - I'm just wondering if prepaying it (i.e. so it's available to redraw) would do the trick.

    Credit cards, mortgages & offsets

    Hi, Just a quick one - Mrs Calgarychris and I have churned cards in the past however we've sat out for a year while searching for a new house, which was bought in September. Our current financial situation is solid - we have an admittedly large mortgage, with a correspondingly large offset...

    Hi, Just trying to book the following; MEL-SIN-CPT (destination); via SQ VFA-ADD (stop) - via ET ADD-SIN-MEL via ET then SQ They've told me that it needs to be booked as three one-ways (I thought you could buy a $100USD stopover, but apparently not?). Now I've been told that the agent that...

    ANZ - 300,000 QFF points offer on a mortgage

    As another data point - we signed up for this, approved in a week and our rate offered was 3.29% through ANZ mobile lending. When the paperwork came through it was at 3.32% but the lender said he'd get it fixed in the system on settlement and forwarded me the approval...so, fingers crossed that...
