    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Was with the explorer card. Make sure you go in ready to actually cancel it right away, tell them you understand if they can't, but would appreciate the chance to keep the card. Say you'd be open to either a retention bonus or a bonus to reinstate the card.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    First thing you need to do is transfer all your points out and pay the card off or else they won't think you're serious. Just had a successful bonus over 50k

    Arriving off SIN-JFK Terminal 4 at 18:50 We're flying onwards JFK-BOS. Thought we were smart by booking a Delta Airlines flight as it flies through the same terminal - booked a 22:30 flight. Unfortunately Delta Airlines has just emailed us our flight has been cancelled and that our flight's been...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Still possible to requal for Points Club Plus?

    Speaking of Qantas Wine, it's worthwhile contacting the Qantas "wine advisor"s - the qantas wine sales team rings me up every six months trying to coax me to buy more wine with generous discounts and bonus points.

    Still possible to requal for Points Club Plus?

    It looks like I'm going to be falling about 70,000 points short of requalifying for Qantas Points Club Plus. My requalifying date is 30th of September. Wondering whether anyone can suggest how I can make up the shortfall? I could apply for a credit card - but will the bonus points be able to...

    A million Qantas FF points but almost impossible to use for flights.

    Or you could alternatively wait for the next Qantas Points Auction! I bought the SA holiday prize. Not exactly the best value but I figured out I wasn't going to have enough opportunities to use them on round the world business class trips!

    Sorry to hear that! My experience at the Fiji Sofitel a couple of weeks ago was much better (Much cleaner than Melbourne and their testing was quite organized) but so sorry about your bad luck there. Look on the bright side though - there's much worse places you could be stuck. Everyone's...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Some things don't change. I remember about 9 years ago, there was an article about someone who tried calling the Qantas call centre and was left on hold for two days. The funniest part about that story was when I was transiting at the Etihad lounge in Abu Dhabi a few days later... and found...
