It's still on the website, towards the bottom of the page under the Business Tools heading. https://www.americanexpress.com/au/business/business-credit-cards/platinum-business-card/

Have you actually spoken to iiNet or just checked for outages in the area? Suggest you call them and they can test your line. Just because there's no general outages it doesn't mean your specific line is working. If on NBN - likely faulty line or modem. If on ADSL - first check if you have a...

I haven't been in there for six months but the reviews you quoted seem a bit over the top unless it's gone massively downhill. I always found the food edible enough, the drinks are nothing special (mainly canned beer, soft drinks, etc). That said I'm not sure I'd pay to enter, you're probably...

Just did some random searches and doesn't appear to be the same as Agoda. Less choice and higher prices, at least for the locations I searched.

Just got the flying offer now so does seem they are sending them out over an extended period. Now how to take advantage of it...

That time of year again, 15% bonus on card points transfers. CBA is back for this one too. Full list of banks: Amex, ANZ, CBA, Citibank, Diners, Suncorp, Bank of Queensland, Card Services, HSBC, Westpac. https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/transfers/?icmpid=VFFCC_hpstaticright_Indirect_NOV16

Look forward to reading more. About to fly with them from SYD to DPS for the first time this weekend, also did the Alitalia status match from VA SG.

Personally I'd value the 61,375 points at more than $518 but it comes down to how you plan to use them in the future and whether you would rather use points or pay cash.

Shame this isn't more generally available, would make so much easier to keep my gold for another year.

Commonwealth Bank now requires activation for anything beyond the basic level of cover. It can be done through Netbank at the same time you're notifying them you're travelling overseas.

Took a month or so last time and with this volcano predicted to possibly keep erupting for several months I wouldn't count on being covered for it again anytime soon. As HVR said check your credit card insurance if you have any, could get lucky.

Sorry correction to what I just posted. Just read my policy again and it does cover cancellations due to natural disasters including volcanic eruptions. Lucky I used this policy instead of my Amex one in this instance.

Similar exclusion on my CBA complimentary travel insurance, should have checked that before I booked my flights. I checked the PDS for Travel Insurance Direct, who I usually use if I'm paying for insurance, and I couldn't find a similar clause. Too late now for this event of course. Will just...

There's reports that Visa will work in some ATM's but it sounds a bit hit and miss. Until they fix the problem I wouldn't rely on it, either take a MasterCard based card or cash. If you go the cash route I'd just take AUD and exchange it over there, you'll get a much better exchange rate than here.

I had a recent issue with Roam supposedly failing the payment on my regular (non-debit) MasterCard and got a letter, penalty and "reactivation fee" for doing so. Checked my statement and they had successfully charged me on the date it had supposedly failed. Had to argue with them to get a refund...
