    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Yes we as a couple did the flight last year. Bucket list as well. We enjoyed the experience and are glad we did it. But LOL once is enough as it is a L O N G Flight ;) We have decided that shorter J flights are better suited to our travel dynamic, even if the total A to B...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    My wife and I had about 140K expiring on Dec 31. With other trips of various types (some non-flying) already locked in for 2024 and other life events it meant that we could only redeem for Nov/Dec 2024. So where to go? Looking online there were ample flights abd destination choices that far...

    St George Rewards Signature KrisFlyer Devaluation

    Well for me that is a no. The ANZ still earns some points, and so the difference in points gained for my circumstances does not offset the 3%. For myself this is all spending on private and not business related travel. Though I also use the same card for my occasional non-travel related...

    St George Rewards Signature KrisFlyer Devaluation

    Avoiding this is why I use the ANZ Traveller Card when I am overseas instead of STG or Amex Cards. Earns less points, but saves the 3%.

    Lounge etiquette - sleeping in lounges

    They now also have a separate "sleeping" room. Smallish so normally is quite full. In the general area of the Silverkris Business Lounge the old Silverkris Lounge was probably better than the renovated and relocated one for sleeping/napping as there was a pretty quiet area down what used...

    ING Bank Dropping 5 Free Overseas ATM Withdraw Benefit from 1/8/23

    We were there for 6 weeks, so was not too frequent, and I prefer to not carry large amounts of cash. Cash still has its applications, though mainly for smaller things. So we always keep a float on us. "Free Walking Tours", yes you can often pay by card, but a queue forms for payment. So with...

    ING Bank Dropping 5 Free Overseas ATM Withdraw Benefit from 1/8/23

    Actually, you are correct. I just checked in my IN Account and I can see rebates of $5.00... I cannot remember all the Banks now, but Scotia I think was the one in Montreal which worked. Bank of Montreal the card did not work. Each ATM withdrawl receives two rebates, one for International...
