    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Looked at flights in the US this morning for next week. Told myself I'll book it after work. Now it's doubled in price - switched over to a new day in the US, and it's now less than 1 week till the flight (27th). So there goes another 300 odd AUD for purely delaying the booking. Will now...

    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    An update on this and to serve as a warning to others, make sure your purchases satisfy the $$ and don't include the excluded items. I had a couple Bpay purchases that I included in my 4k spend and these are not included. I only realised yesterday when I was still awaiting confirmation of...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    I totally forgot about this cc. I was looking at the anz or nab rewards cc to get velocity points but this looks a good alternative if I want to use them on SQ or virgin, etc. Plus I already have a decent aeroplan balance.

    Is the NAB Rewards Platinum Card with Velocity the same as the NAB Rewards Platinum Card? It appears so but just that the velocity option is where you automatically select to move points regularly to velocity.

    Doesn't 100,000 NAB reward points = 50k velocity? Was it previously higher?
