i lodged my passport renewal application in early February. At that time there were news reports of “long delays”. It arrived exactly 2 weeks later. :)
I have Qantas award flights next year on JAL. I was able to select seats on the JAL website. I also noticed they displayed the status as “ticketed” which was reassuring. :)
It is difficult too have constructive discussion and debate when both sides believe the other side are entrenched and prejudiced. I think it is telling that climate change activists are cast by some as participants in a “greenie” religion and therefore can be seen as evangelising zealots - with...
I have booked a oneworld award next year travelling to Japan, Spain and UK. Qantas points booking but flights on JAL Iberia and BA. I have used the Qantas website to enter APIS passport and DOB information. The wording on the website implies that this information is merely to save time at the...
It seems Newcastle airport terminal was inundated by a storm this afternoon and the terminal has been closed. Rumour has it that the damage is quite extensive but time will tell.
Media alert: 17 April 2016
Why would the bank care whether private or business ? Wouldn't the fee charged to the merchant be the same either way? Or do they make so little from tax office payments that it doesn't cover the cost of the points in either case but they are willing to accept the loss as long as it doesn't...
Last month I paid my ATO tax bill using my Jetstar Platinum Mastercard and received 1 QFF point per dollar. (Annual cap is 100,000 points). I usually use my HSBC Visa (its 200,000 limit is not threatened by my tax obligations) but I had run it too close to its credit limit.
Very generous of you. I could use a 25% off certificate expiring in April if still on offer. I am a bit upset they are closing it down - have used all my certificates!
Don't use it for hotel pre-authorisations.
If using the iPhone app, be very careful not to mistype your password as you can be locked out of the app after (I think 3) incorrect entries. To unlock the app requires a tediously long and phone-credit-draining call to qantas before you can speak to...
I think it might be something to do with their style sheet. If you select one of the misspelt words and copy and paste into TextEdit, the missing ff appears. So I suspect there is some miscoding in the css file that is making some of the fs not display.
The qantas cash card doesn't charge a fee to load.. Also, unlike the nabtraveller card, if loading foreign currency via bpay you are quoted the exact currency conversion rate. There is a flat fee for foreign ATM withdrawals, making fewer and larger cash withdrawals more economical. But the...
re: Qantas Cash Card
On a trip to the UK last year I was using a NAB traveller card. I thought I had finessed it perfectly so that I had just sufficient pounds for my final cash withdrawal. However the card took funds from my AUD stock. I think what happened was some of the pounds were locked...
Re: HSBC QF Platinum - 20K points (+2 QP passes) - $199 Annual Fee [extended] to 30/0
I haven't received my bonus points nearly 3 months since I got the card. I phoned the HSBC call centre this morning and the person I spoke to could see that I had made a qualifying purchase in August and that...
