How much retention bonus do you get usually? Just trying to figure out if i'll be better off keeping this card too.

By keeping this card for the earn rate, you miss out on the 100,000 bonus points that you can get approximately once every 18 months. So, I still stand by my advice to never use credit cards for the earn rate. Just churn them for bonus points. Use a fee free credit card for regular use. You'll...

I've paid the annual fee, received my bonus points and $450 travel credit. Will I be able to use the travel credit after closing the card account?

Got a text today saying my application's approved and my card will arrive soon! Still no email though. This is only my second card since I started churning. Exciting!! @ksthommo, you should have your bonus points soon!

I used @ksthommo's referral link today to apply. Submitted the application in the morning but, haven't got an acknowledgement email till now in the evening. Is that normal?

And the travel credit can be used for anyone, not necessarily the card holder, right?

"The Qantas Travel Credit can be used for 365 days from the Card Member’s anniversary date and cannot be carried forward to any subsequent year" The booking will need to be done within 365 days but the actual date of flight can be later. Is that correct? From past years experiences, is it...

How likely is an extension beyond 14 April for this offer?
