    Status Credit difference?

    Recently did an old "any seat U class flight" from Adelaide to Perth and after phoning the service desk to have the points and SC credited (as they still dont post automatically for the old any seat booking) I was credited 60 SC. On previous flights on the same sector about a year ago this was...

    Ask The Pilot

    In this age of computers, electronics, and the like, why do cabin crew still use a knock on the door as a signal that it is OK to open the cabin door. You would have thought by now that there was some "electronic" system available?

    Airport Etiquette

    I was in BNE last week and waiting in line at the Avis counter in dom. near the carousells. Guy in front of me was being served and half way through the proceeding he was heard to say "hang on a minute" and he walked away, over to the carousel to try and locate his bag(s), then wandered back to...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Yes, was a direct sweep ( and I was hoping it would keep going), now I am going to downgrade this card (select) to a signature, just to keep the limit, and ask for a pro rata refund on the EXPENSIVE annual fee, they will cough and carry on any say they cant do this, but they actually can and...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Just received my most recent Citi Select statement, up to 20th October, they have now stopped paying points on the ATO payments, suppose I was lucky to get them up till now as it seems a lot of others stopped earning a longer time ago? Seems that this is very fluid, what are the best few now...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Just noticed that Members Equity have released a card affiliated with QF (M/C or V?) that is 1:1. Does not seem to be any T&C that "blacklist ATO. Does anybody have one yet? Anybody have any experience with the new credit score system yet, ie know what your score is and do you think its reasonable?

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Suggest you dont pay by DD as lots of cards do not earn points for DD. Best way (In my opinion) is to go to easypay site www.optussmartpay.com/governmenteasypay-ato/ and just fill in the boxes and click pay.

Was going to get Mrs to get a card also to see if the new card would do it, but went with the ANZ black at .75 for M/C & V Slowly trying to change all cards over to the 1:1 banks and definately avoid any Amex issued cards, however the bank issued...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    If anybody is using ANZ V or M/C for ATO and not getting many QF points, it would be worth upgrading to the "NEW" ANZ BLACK CARD, around $200 extra fee PA, but points earn goes from a dismal .5 to getting close to reasonable at .75 ( I think 1;1 is the benchmark for M&V)
