Brilliant tip, thank you. I wonder if Avios are still earnt if currency is changed back to AUD.?

Will you be flying enough with VFF to obtain SG and hence get the reciprocal Hilton Gold benefit?

While I may be in the minority, I'm still a big fan of hotels.com - stay ten nights, get one free. Repeat. Free night is based on average of your ten nights. This way you don't have to be loyal to a chain.

I was told not, but your milage may vary.

My experience: I currently hold Velocity Escape and Platinum Edge; applied for David Jones Amex. Was told I would need to drop one of the two existing cards and no, I would not be eligible for a sign-up bonus.

I too got the SMS and made the phone call; not sure that the rep at ANZ knew a lot about the deal as she read the SMS verbatim. I have barely used my card. Due to the steep annual fee I think I'll keep black till annual fee is due, and cancel shortly after obtaining passes. $295 = no deal.

Isn't it true that VA won't check bags through to final destination even if all booked on same PNR? Did you get bags checked all the way through on CNS-BNE-CBR

Was considering Qudos also, then saw the AusBT article yesterday: Qudos reducing Qantas Earn rates, cutting ATO - General credit card & travel money discussion - Page 1 - Community - Australian Business Traveller

Ah, many thanks for the heads-up...and just after a successful credit limit increase as well. Shame! So long Jetstar MC; now begins the hunt for a mastercard or visa with a more generous points capping/shaping arrangement.

I called with the intention of cancelling my Virgin Flyer yesterday. All they could offer me was a 0% transfer offer which is really of no benefit to me. Was told to call back closer to the time of renewal to see if the offer had changed. I also queried the possibility of the High Flyer and was...

Re: AMEX Velocity - 110,000 bonus points (confirmed for an existing card holder) Thanks very much for that; I am VA gold so have lounge access already; my partner who travels about 4 times a year obviously doesn't so they'd be handy for her, but we wouldn't be travelling together. Many thanks.

Can anybody confirm whether the lounge passes can be used by a spouse/are transferable in any way? Thanks Sam
