    Constant credit card turnover for points

    Nice one foggy...i tried that last week but was unsuccessful on my explorer card....so you managing to get 80k retention bonus is brilliant...so was your call routed to Philippines or Australia? did you get the name of the person you spoke to by any chance?

    Sniip accepting Amex at same rate as Visa/Mastercard

    Interesting cos I did redeem it but the offer was different on my explorer...spend $50 or more and earn 1000 MR points...which card do you have? it is straight forward to use however they charge a 1.5% surcharge which is quite high imo.

But I think if have a charge card then there is a...
