    Aus/NZ Dual Nationality - Smooth Trans-Tasman Travel

    Citi Personal Loan Plus=Velocity.

    ANZ Rewards Travel Adventure Card

    Just got off the phone now with them, wouldn’t budge on the $170- refund. I persisted, asked to talk to someone else, she went away for a long time and came back and still said no.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    ok thanks. i think i'll book separately anyways. but if i did it on 1 ticket for next time, how much would my AUCK>MELB>BRIS earn, a little more? 60 SC + 15 SC ? so i would get an extra 5 SC.
