Many thanks for your kind words cove but I do not know how strong of an applicant I am to them. I will have a think about it and do some creative accounting perhaps (not lies at all, just counting future income - not against any rules is it?) Perhaps COB Mon would be better as I can then...

Well I wasn't expecting a stellar limit on the card. As it is I want to ditch the ANZ FF and replace it with the WOW card, along with the fee-free AmEx Qantas card. I don't really mind how long it takes to get the card as I have the ANZ to continue with for now. Many thanks for your advice.

Well as of COB Monday I will have only 1 CC with a $0 balance. And as suggested apply over the phone to prevent harm to credit file?

See that is what I thought but then the phone operator said "We take all of your situation into account, not just your income" They stopped short of saying that it was not a hard and fast $50k limit... So that Is why I have come to those who are well versed in these matters...the great AFF...

So does calling and applying over the phone mean you go through their internal checks before a credit check? If so that would be great! I asked them that also and the operator I spoke to did not quite understand what I was getting at.

Well given that Westpac were too tight handed compared to ANZ (WBC obviously does not want my business whereas ANZ do), I am not liking my odds. Getting any details from the call centre staff is impossible and they just throw lines like "We will consider any savings or investments that you...

Hey All, Had a look through this thread but I couldn't find my situation put forward. If I earn under $50k ($41k) is the likelihood of being accepted for this card very low? I would love to be able to earn the 1:1 ratio on a card that is accepted pretty well everywhere. Does anybody have the...

My choice was the Sennheiser PXC450 from memory. I have tended to use my CX300-II instead (in ear no noise cancelling). The NC set are a bit bulky but fold down into a carry case. Takes 1xAAA battery in each earcup for the electronics. Worked well but like I said became a bit big to pack &...

One thing I have noted is that sometimes if I try to go between sections it crashes and loses state...But that is likely a different issue entirely!

Hi All, I know this topic has come up from time to time but there does not seem to be a definite answer from my searches. I am presently well on track to achieve PS within this membership year, however I would like to get to SG within my next membership year (1st Aug to 31st Jul). There is a...

It could be, however I only book via the QF website. I'm just rather confused as to the capabilities that QF assigns to each fare bucket (especially when it is not full Y). Thanks again Mal. Marty

Perhaps I should clarify the situation I am experiencing. On prior bookings 'Change' has either been greyed out or not shown at all. Typically 'Select Seats' has been visible but greyed out. To add to the conundrum I have in fact on one booking been able to pre-select seats despite my bronze...

I'm a QP member, sadly only Bronze :( I asked due to the fact I have never seen the 'Change' button available to me on any prior flights. Thanks again, Marty

Hi All, Just have a quick question. I booked some fares lately (Red-e-Deal), and they have been put into what I would class as unexpected fare buckets. They have fallen under E or Q which present me the option of changing my flights (unlike previous flights under N or O). I was just curious...

Hey All, Long time stalker, first time poster. Just thought I'd actually join up and see if there is further wisdom I can gain from those who fly a lot more than me! I am not sure that I may be of much assistance, but as I fly more and more it may prove to be good. Have safe flying!
