doesn't look any different to before

For all of the points club plus members who are Platinum or P1, the benefits are really wasted. The 100 Status credit rollover is of no benefit to P1's and if they wanted to make P1's appreciate Points Club Plus more, they could remove that silly rule Offering up lounge passes to be gifted to...

Thanks mate, For BCC paying direct, Sniip don't charge a fee, but the BCC do charge 0.52% (they add it on to your next bill) This is paying via the Sniip app, scanning the circular bar code (not the linear BPAY one)

very interesting, if tax deductible it makes 1c per point very reasonable

I've done some calculations regarding paying Brisbane City Council Rates via Sniip on Amex Platinum charge that might be helpful to some (and would be grateful for any advice if any better options) Amex Platinum charge for normal spend = = 2.25 points per dollar = 1.125 Qantas points per...

Oh wow, I got all excited reading this thread from the start, working out how to start getting Aeroplan points, but 355K points is a lot !

I tried to sign up for the surveys but you have to lie and give a UK address. If I am going to spend many $thousands buying points, I don't want to risk them cancelling my account. I did a search through the BA online shopping portal and it seems booking a hotel through their link to IHG.com...

Yes, at the end of school holidays so I suspect that's why. For our holidays this year our requests for LAX-BNE were denied but we did manage to get LAX-SYD

tried for 2 J seats Vancouver to Sydney April next year - denied tried for 2 J seats LAX to BNE and LAX to Syd - denied She told me to try again 6-7 months before the flight time. Last year I had no troubles getting seats back from LAX 11 months out

Does anyone know what is happening with Qantas Brisbane to Sydney today? They cancelled my wife's flight and she would have risked missing her international flight. There was simply no other flights available for her, even as Platinum, so she's had to buy a Virgin flight. All sorted now, but...

flew on the Max recently from SIN-DRW and it was great The middle "throne" seats are amazing. So much better than the old recliners

Does anyone know why they are cancelling the 7pm flights from Cairns to Brisbane next year? For many years I have worked in Cairns and been able to fly home to Brisbane around 6-7pm. For some reason starting in Feb next year, they have cancelled that 6or7pm flight and the last flight back is...

This is great news, especially for those days like many Wednesday mornings when Qantas don't have an early morning BNE-BDB

Super helpful response from Amex Platinum Travel today. Definitely do the chat, it connected really quickly and then she called me. She said if I had called, the phone wait time is 2.5 hours (Saturday morning 9am) She put all 3 bookings back into credit. These were Qantas flights and she said...
