    Qantas 40% bonus on any transfer

    Received an email from Qantas this morning saying that because I had transferred some points recently that they were offering a bonus deal of 40% for any new transfers up to December 19. WELL THANK YOU QANTAS. The problem I have is that I have just transferred 1,000,000 points to get the 30%...

    Virgin [initial] FAIL [ Rectified with new reaccomodation policy]

    Thank you all for your support. What was not possible before has suddenly come to be. I now have a seat SYD - LAX June 5 thanks to the Virgin people that monitor this site. Am I being cynical or would it not have happened without posting on AFF. Surely this should have been the result from...

    FINALLY! - Citi launching Citi Prestige with Visa Infinite

    Just wondering if it is me or do you find that Citibank is very trigger happy on putting a hold on your credit card. I do about 10 overseas trips a year.

    Reduction in Transfer Rates to Velocity/Krisflyer

    The Citibank redemption rate has been updated and you can now transfer at the old rate. My 1.5 million Citi reward points are now safely with SQ. Really can't trust this mob. They have to be the worst bank to deal with.
