Since it's my first time doing this, I'll go with option 1 and transfer my amex points to webjet to buy my tix, any advice though would be appreciated

Hi, I'm planning a family trip to the US in October SYD -> LV -> NY -> HNL -> SYD and I was hoping to use some of my amex points to fund this trip. I have about 240,000 amex points. I'm a complete newbie, and feel like I'm going round in circles. Option 1: I was going to use webjet.com.au...

I've read that you can transfer points to someone else, but there is a min number of points you can do that. Just found the info on the qantas site: I'm in the same boat, my partner has the citibank card whilst I've got the amex card.

Looks like you're swaying towards UA, I'm convinced. UA Mileage plus it is. Thanks KiwiFlyer.

Ok, that looks good. Should I take into consideration my AMEX rewards points? e.g. maybe joining KrisFlyer? Or is it not worthwhile for me since I don't travel often.

Excuse me hijacking this thread, but I'd like to know which Star Alliance Partner I should go with as well as I'm using a RTW with Star Alliance and I'm not part of any of their frequent flyer program as yet. 1. Fare is Sydney-SanFran, LasVegas-NY-Frankfurt-Manila-Singapore-Sydney, carriers...

Hi Shano, I only travel once a year (if that) so I don't think having an annual policy would suit me. This is the first time I'm actually hiring a car overseas so it's all a bit daunting. Knock on wood that I never need to claim. Thanks Len

Hi All, I think I finally had the light bulb moment last night where it all clicked into place. I mean, it's what it exactly describes rental vehicle excess cover, I was still thinking in terms of car insurance. So I still need to take those waivers (LDW/CDW) described by Mwenenzi when...

Hi Mwenenzi, Thanks for your reply... AH ok, I haven't yet looked into booking the car yet as the trip is in Sept. What I might do is pay for my airfare, and then buy my travel insurance in the next couple of days once I do more research. Looks like most insurance companies don't cover...

Here is a explanation: Rental Vehicle Excess: If you Rent a Car from a rental company and it is involved in an accident damaged or stolen, we will pay up to the amount shown towards the cost of the insurance excess on the vehicle – additionally if you are certified by a treating medical...

Oops, yes sorry, I got mixed up. Star Alliance. Just called up my TA and they definitely said I had to pay today. I will do some research on travel insurance today in regards to rental vehicle insurance with convertibles.

Hi KiwiFlyer, Not sure what type of RTW ticket I've got, but I was told that the oneworld RTW fares are being standardised (no peak or off-peak) and that I have until April 30th to pay my full fare or else I have to pay an extra $150, which I'd rather keep for myself. I've got the money...

Hi All, I was about to apply for my travel insurance with Travel Insurance Direct - low cost travel insurance for Australians and noticed that for their rental car vehicle excess cover that they only allow certain types of vehicles and it does not cover convertibles. I'm planning on going on...

Really really weird, even though I got my rejection letter a couple of weeks I received my fee free gold credit card yesterday. what the? I had even called up customer support when i got my rejection letter to try and rally my case, yet the firm answer was always "no you can't as you have...

Just an update, I had actually called citibank customer service, because I had recieved my citibank silver a couple of weeks ago. She told me that I was able to apply for this offer and just cancel my silver one once I got accepted. Unfortunately because I didn't have my silver card for at...
