    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    A little bit of thread, but the NAB have sent out emails offering prizes of $10,000 + $5,000 per day for making Bpay payments , so I thought it may be something to pay say 300 or 400 per day to Telstra with a minimum $, I did not get as far as checking how small you could pay, as i read the T&C...

    Bankwest Qantas Transaction account [being withdrawn in 2025]

    Suggest you frame that and mount in prominent position ( or maybe you could lodge for -a special clearance- you would not want to get caught with a bad cheque. Beats my $0.02 cheque that the NAB sent me years ago

    Bankwest Qantas Transaction account [being withdrawn in 2025]

    How about the day before the account is due to be closed, everyone transfer MOST of their BW credit balance to somewhere else and leave the BW account say $0.01 in CREDIT. Let BW post you a cheque for $0.01 for the refund of the credit balance. I once received a bank cheque from NAB for $0.02 (...

    Cheaper to book through Qantas Hotels?

    I guess we can just check your next statement to see how many points were earned for this months spend, just make sure that you do spend greater than the $4,000. You are correct, that I also see nothing in the T&C for the Hilton card, but I was going on something that I read? My next statement...

    Cheaper to book through Qantas Hotels?

    Yes, a cap earn at 1:1 from 11th May, also when they said no earn for ATO. You can still get the Diamond up quickly, but if you do it in less than 10 months, you will not earn the full 40,000 HH points that you otherwise would have if you used the limits. Also just compared Conrad Singapore...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Cove, do you have the payment to the US Citi card made from a US dollar account here or in US, or how do you pay? Just for Albyd, Hilton redemptions in Egypt (most places) seem to be running at 5000 (5 thousand) HH points per night. Great if you want to risk Egypt.

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    You are correct, HH not the same value as J redemptions, but I have enough QFF for a while and the Hilton are handy, Johor Baru (across the causeaway in Singapore) can be had for 8500 per night, as with many others. Keep us posted if you are able to get the US Citi HH card, and how to do it?
